Just Sayin’... It’s Probably Not What You Think?
Riding high on a unicycle and squeezing out a tune on national telly, not bad for someone who’d barely crawled out of the nightmare that almost finished me off in the mid‑90s.
You’ll get the full story when you’ve survived the chapters that begin in 1952… just sayin’.
As for the caption on this photo: I don’t use any of my old stage names in the book, but Willie Eckerslike was my first Equity‑registered identity. I carried it for more than a decade, even though it meant absolutely nothing to anyone outside northern England.
Later, I became “Eckie... the artist formerly known as Willie Eckerslike,” around the same time this photo was taken by a dear friend, who I later lost to a fatal mental illness.
There’s a lot more behind this picture, and you’ll understand it all when you read the book.
