I Have Something to Say

Ringo Starr,(Richard Starkey) is releasing yet another solo album. He has songs written by each of the other Beatles members in this one.

In an early interview John Lennon was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. John replied, "He isn't even the best drummer in the band."

MY GRANDAD was the best drummer who ever lived, despite only having biscuit tins for a drum kit and two rolling pins for sticks. Although he had a poor sense of timing and rhythm, he compensated with a heavy handed playing style and practised enthusiastically for 18 hours a day. My Nan didn't appreciate his skills, however, and after 50 years of pounding, she stabbed him in the throat in 1985.
