RINGO STARR

A John Lennon full length interview for a men's magazine was on United States newsstands right up to about the time he died. That piece was the thing that convinced me Lennon, one of the world's great trash talkers, nonetheless really admired Ringo Starr. While this is nothing like an exact quote, the spirit of what Lennon said was this. When Ringo joined The Beatles, he was already a big star in our hometown. Between his music and his acting, Ringo was going to make it big with or without The Beatles. There was more. Ringo had great organizational skills. We saw it yesterday. All around the world he had Ringo Starr "Peace and Love" birthday celebrations. In the time I have been with Facebook, I've never seen anything like it, not even following the death of the great Brian Wilson. One post after another post after another in Ringo's honor. Face it, the world loves Ringo Starr.

My favorite passage in this video short is Ringo telling about watching The Beatles from a front seat at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, and requesting songs. Ringo may have been the ultimate Beatles fan.

Hamburg damals: Protest gegen die Schließung des Star-Clubs

Wegen zahlloser Eskapaden wurde dem berühmten Musikclub, in dem auch die Beatles spielten, im Juni 1964 die Konzession entzogen.

EDDIE FONTAINE
"NOTHIN' SHAKIN' (BUT THE LEAVES ON THE TREES)"
Mastodon Post

Eddie Fontaine - Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves On the Trees)
from Restless! Reckless! And Reviled! Untamed Youth, The Original Rebels Of Rock And Roll by Famous Flames

https://famousflames.bandcamp.com/track/nothin-shakin-but-the-leaves-on-the-trees

"Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Trees)" is a real classic rock 'n' roll oldie. The Beatles (Paul McCartney, it seems to me) used to perform this song at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, in the band's formative years.

Eddie Fontaine was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, which is the nearest large city to here.

My digital download copy gives Fontaine's name as Eddy Fontaine.
