    Hey Joe, very nice!  Has a really catchy bluesy feel to it.  Was about to say it kind of reminds me of later Eagles, and then I notice Joe Walsh is featured.  Maybe just coincidence.  It also reminds me of MLTs own Waiting for The Waiter’s bluesy feel too. It’s hard to believe Ringo turned 80; in the video he looks decades younger with a youthful shine.  Hope he will just go like that for a long, long time.

    Hey Jung, Glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you Ringo looks great for 80 and he still can play those skins. I think he has aged well. He looks younger than Paul.  And Paul is two years younger. I really like the picture of George on the wall. I just guessing this was done at Ringo place since there were some of Ringo’s art all around.

    Yeah I would guess it is Ringo’s place, as he has interesting art work all over the wall as well as a retro jukebox, star covered guitar etc…  At 3:00 mark you can see a glimpse of a Bob Dylan portrait on the wall.  The background setting with all the Beatles art work adds to the video.

    Joe, here is a cool video about Ringo’s drumming.  World’s great drummers salute Ringo!   It’s not about blistering speed and theatrics.  “He has that magic touch”

    Thanks Jung for sharing that. The strange thing with Ringo and Keith Moon. They were both

    left handed and play on a right handed drum kit. It’s sort like flipping a right handed guitar upside down to play left handed.

     

    I think I might have posted this not sure. This is a good one too.

    Yea I played again and saw Dylan. I like the Gibson SG with the stars on it. There was also a black acoustic guitar with Ringo’s face on it. Some cool stuff.  Well bed time for me my friend.

    Hey Joe, yeah a great video by Sina about Ringo.  She provides a nice breakdown of Ringo’s unique drumming.  She said “Ringo was about taste, tone, musicality, and feeling, not speed.”

    Here is another good one produced recently about Ringo and why he is considered a genius.  They point out he had a knack for coming up with the perfect drum rhythm for every Beatles song that was completely unique and iconic.   As soon as they played the drumming rhythm in Come Together, I could immediately recognize it.

    Jung, Really enjoyed this. Basically the same as  Sina but with a sense of humor.  But he is right.

    Ringo is a genius on drums. He just doesn’t play drums he really listen and analyze the best beat possible for the song. He was as important to the Beatles success and the other three.

    Just ask Pete Best..   Plus Ringo has the best personality  of all the Beatles. Peace and Love.

    Ringo is always in my top three drummers of all time.  Along with Buddy Rich and Keith Moon.  Now Rich and Moon were mad men. Ringo is a timing drummer and is at the other end of the spectrum. Living proof less is better.  And like you said yesterday he looks and plays amazing for 80.   God did Bless Ringo…
