From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy Aye, Ringo sang the REAL classics like 'Yellow Submarine' and 'Octopus' Garden' - come to think of it, there's a theme . . . D'ya think he's up for a sea-song session? Maybe he could do a new CD, 'Starr Shanties'?!!! |

10 Jul 04 - 07:41 PM (#1223061) Subject: RE: Ringo Starr - Now he's 64! From: Big Al Whittle I suppose its all a question of your vintage. I first heard the Beatles when one night I was standing outside St Georges Hall in St Helens. Me and my cousin were both 12, and neither of us would have dreamed of going in - we hadn't the half crown entrance and anyway the place had a reputation for fighting. I said theyre good - very surprised, as I'd never heard them before and I wasn't local - I was in St helens for my summer holidays - or it could have been Easter. Cousin Bernard said oh yes The Beatles - they're a very popular local group. Later that year they appeared on Bill Grundy's teatime TV programme for the first time, I don't think they had a recording contract at this point. I remember being intrigued by the unquiffed hair - visually that was a shock at the time. To me it seemed a bit weird seeing Danni looking so much like George, but not sounding at all Liverpool. When Ringo came on with an immediately recognisable Scouse/merseybeat accent. I thought - oh yeh that's what its all about! Thats what I call folk music! |
