“Who IS Frankie Eisenhower?â€
Some say he never existed, present merely in the overactive imagination of a Scouse raconteur.
Others say he was a Pirate on the “High Seas of the Merseyâ€, resplendent in Pringle and popular with the ladies – before an encounter with an overzealous mother superior led him to a watery grave.
Some, that he was a crazy old Eagles roadie.
Others, that he is simply…… Welsh.
The most believable rumour, however, is that he is still alive and well, and currently residing with a pack of stoats in the suburbs of Darlington, regularly sending mysterious packages of tunes and lyrics to his 4 illegitimate children in Leeds.
Apart, they are Tom Ross, Paul Thomas, Nipper and Dave “Forearms†Burton, four friends from the Northwest of England who share an uncertain heritage
Together they are…… Frankie Eisenhower and The Shanky Shamrock Skiffle Sextet Beat Combo.
Rumour has it they are all half brothers, fathered by the same man – and on their coming of age each received a mysterious package containing a musical instrument, by carrier pigeon (except Nipper, his package arrived by City Link – imagine a pigeon delivering a drum kit – ridiculous!)
Also in the package was a letter advising each to check under the loose floorboard in the bathroom and an item of snide clothing. In addition each received a sheet of hieroglyphs titled with strange words such as “Smomacoâ€, “Wolfs†and “Unhingedâ€, which, when decoded by the mysterious Stoddleson cult, turned out to be…
MUSIC, GLORIOUS, WONDROUS, MUSIC!!!
*Please note, this was 12 years old for Paul and Nipper and 26 for Dave, but Tom was born an adult - the body of a child and the head of a full grown man (or is it the other way around???)
