RINGO UNLOADS

Ringo Starr sold a lot of cool stuff, many of the proceeds going to his and his wife Barbara Bach's Lotus Foundation, "which funds and promotes charitable projects."  Charity never fails!   The Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl three-piece drum kit used in the beginning peak of the Beatles fame, sold "for a record $2.2 million at Julien's Auctions" during the three-day sale December 3rd through the 5th.  (I think this is the drum kit seen in this post.)

FEELING LOVE'LY

Stumbled upon this oldie but goodie.  Were The Beetles any more adorable than in this video?  (Ladies?  Guys?)   I think I'm mostly feelin' Ringo here, even though Sir Paul is da'bomb, John's dashing, and George is every girl's sweet dream.    Ahhhhh.   I digress. 
And what a song.  Love.  Love is the thing.

PEACE, LOVE, AND ROCK AND ROLL

Ringo Starr celebrated 75 years of age the old fashioned way, at a record store.   Peace and love was the day's theme.  (Always better than aging eyes and a drop belly!!)    story
