Meanwhile, back in Music-ville &/or Liverpool...

I just watched this short interview with Ringo Starr, with Dan Rather (long-time U.S. national TV news host)...

I thought it sounded clickbait, but.... only the title is. An interesting reflection or two from the Beatle who joined the band.

Yes, towards the end of Beatles, life complicated things.... But Ringo's always just wanted to have fun, and seems to have done.
And "Life is good".

The Beatles - Now And Then - The Last Beatles Song

(Short Film)

Now and Then's eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.

One more from Playing for Change while I’m still enjoying the release of a new tune with John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin) doing an old standard about a flood. which he and the band covered on Led Zeppelin IV.

So the algorithm gods of YouTube - bad Google! - seem to weight my recent viewing of the new release. Here’s what they dealt me now: The Weight is Over.

The Weight

Robbie Robertson (from The Band) and some rhythm from Ringo (from The Beatles).
With some great musicians from all around the planet. #PlayingForChange

Happy Sun day /eve

One minute of Ringo/drum history. Shared actually in a post I saw about how to use TikTok effectively. Cute little bit.
Especially for drummers and/or those familiar with The Beatles. (Will we need to ask soon?) 🥁 🎶

This Day in Rock Music History - 22 Aug - Ringo Quits Beatles

  1. A sign of rising tensions among the Fab Four, Ringo Starr left The Beatles during The White Album recordings. In "Anthology", Ringo cited feeling he was an outsider and not playing the drums very well. But when he told John, and then Paul, about his feelings, each claimed himself as feeling the outsider! Ringo left for vacation in Sardinia with his family, where he subsequently wrote "Octopus's Garden". In the meantime in Ringo's absence, the band recorded "Back in the USSR" with McCarntney on drums and Lennon on bass. They also recorded "Dear Prudence". But soon the band sent Ringo a telegram, asking him to return. He arrived back on 3 Sep to find his drums decorated with flowers saying "Welcome Back Ringo", just in time to shoot the group video for "Hey Jude" and "Revolution".
