Background:
“My father had just return from his national service in Egypt with the RAF [...] He and his friends all wanted to be Americans. They even started a team called the Bidston Indians and took to standing around in wire-rimmed sunglasses and old USAAF flying jackets with a cartoon Indian painted on the back.” — Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, 2015.
“Q: Have you ever been to a baseball game? A: No, but my Dad used to play in a local league on Merseyside in the late 1940’s – he played for the Bidston Indians – I believe the game was introduced by the G.I.s during the Second World War and flourished for a few years afterwards.” — Ask Elvis, May 15, 2002. |
