It’s 7/7 – And Ringo Turns 77!
Happy birthday to Ringo Starr!
He’s the most famous drummer of all-time…one of four members of the greatest musical group ever…and July 7th is Ringo’s 77th birthday!
Let’s talk a moment to celebrate Ringo and all of the great entertainment he’s given us!
Ringo Starr was the most accomplished musician when The Beatles drafted him to take over the drumming from Pete Best.

I remember ‘Coma dn Get It’ being a big hit for Badfinger here, on the Apple label. I couldn’t stand the film though…Ringo looks great for 77.

Best wishes, Pete.
