Ringo Starr, the greatest drummer in the history of Rock and Roll, turns a young 69 today, Tuesday, July 7th.  There is a terrific article marking the occasion  in Monday’s USA Today, written by our friend Dennis Diken of The Smithereens. We can’t wait until the The Beatles remastered catalogue comes out (09-09-09)  so we can hear the backbeat of the band even clearer than ever before. Happy Birthday, Ringo.

Peace and Love.
