An Offbeat Drummer with Funny Fills. Happy Birthday Dear Mum and Ringo.

An Offbeat Drummer with Funny Fills. Happy Birthday Dear Mum and Ringo.

My mom and Ringo Starr. Two of my favorite people. I wish them both the happiest of birthdays today.

Starr described himself as “your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills”, technically limited by being a left-handed person playing a right-handed kit.

McCartney said, “Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical… they were sort of magic…”

It was Ringo who came up with the phrase, “Hard Day’s Night..”

Turning 69 today, Ringo is still magical. WoW. Ringo 69. Oh dear. Guess time keeps marching on to who knows where.

So much love to my mother this day.. and to Ringo.

Funny, I didn’t even know that Ringo sang this song way back then. I always loved the duet with Buck Owens. But look what I found…Ringo was singing it way back then.

 An offbeat drummer with funny fills. Sounds a bit like me.

Ringo and Buck..

 

And just for fun.. Buck and Dwight.
