There's a place..

This song is a perfect way to describe how Beatles music makes me feel. Any time I feel sad and blue, I just turn on one of their perfect songs, and all seems a bit better in my world. Enjoy this tribute to John and Paul from the vast youtube collection of homemade tribute videos.

The words you long to hear...

A current favorite. Ringo and Friends encourages you to rediscover "With the Beatles." There are some true treasures on that album, and it's a definite contrast with the later Beatles music. Sometimes it's nice to revisit the beginnings of our favorite lads from Liverpool as they came into their magical, mysterious sound. Enjoy John's "All I've Got To Do."

Instant Happiness

Feeling sad? I've got the cure.

Always surprising me...

I watched Alice in Wonderland (CBS TV production) pretty much once a week during my childhood, along with Peter Pan (Mary Martin). My parents still to this day talk about how I watched those movies over and over without tiring. It wasn't until today that I discovered something very exciting. My favorite Beatle was IN Alice in Wonderland! I couldn't believe it! All along I was watching Ringo and had no idea. Here, catch a glimpse of those beautiful blue eyes and melt-your-heart smile in a role that seems designed for our dear Ringo.
