Even in the earlier days of less sophisticated songwriting,Ringo held his own in shining manner.As the tunes became more difficulet to drum to as in the cases of "Rain" and "Strawberry Fields",his skills rose to newer more fascinating heights.Of course,some credit must be given to Messrs. Lennon and McCartney,who did direct Richie on what they expected from him in more specific terms as the music grew more ethereal.Mr. Starr put the drummer on the rock and roll map.Before the Beatles came along,few cared who did drums for Elvis or the Four Seasons.After,many began to more fully appreciate a sticksman's role in a great band......

A Day In The Life...the one song every drummer wished he could drum half as well, or to have been there to see it all unfold! Donovan and a few other select friends were...how lucky!!
Ringo is in one of those "places" that musicians rarely enter but always strive for...drumming nirvana.
