General Discussion

I was a Junior in high school and saw them live in New Orleans with my two best friends. It was Heaven!!! What a thrill! The noise, the fun, the energy! We were all young together.

After the show, while waiting for our ride home (didn't have a license!), a random police car came up and motioned me to the window. He handed me a piece of paper. It was Ringo's autograph! He must have been security and thought he would get a charge out of our reaction!

Many years later, when going through some items at our late mother's home, my youngest brother told me he came across a small folded piece of paper. It was the autograph! When he carefully unfolded it and saw who it was, he told me he almost fainted! LOL!

Here's what all this means to me, as I turn 79 at the end of this month. Of course, I miss Paul's sweet vocals, but actually, I DON'T GIVE A CRAP HOW HE SINGS! To see him still active, healthy, vibrant, kind, moral, and caring at this point in his life means so much more. He is part of music history and part of my own. I feel blessed to still be able to see his face and see him holding his left-handed bass guitar.

BTW, two years ago I saw Ringo and his All Star Band where I currently live here in Western Colorado! His car passed close enough that he could wave to me and my daughter (who bought the tickets), like 8 feet away! It was a great concert, and Ringo's voice has not been overused, so it has held up well. May he and Paul tour and play forever!
