One of my most favorite moments in all of Get Back and something you'd never know only listening to the tapes (as rewarding an experience that is, especially in other ways), is when Ringo hangs up his kid's drawing by his drums. Bravo to Michael Lindsay-Hogg for capturing this. Deeply humanizing

Ringo Starr, famous in his own right, before the Beatles, as the drummer for Rory Storm & the Hurricanes. 1961

IMPORTANT: ringo packed his little terrycloth top from miami 1964 into his little suitcase (or maybe maureen did) and wore it on his holiday in trinidad and tobago in 1966 🥺

“We were kind of used to it. We’re working-class guys, and if you come up against posh people, you figure they are gonna look down on you, but you know what? We didn’t give a flying f---! They were working in an embassy, we were on the road rocking!”

Paul McCartney
Beatles ‘64

And now realized their name "Dr. Feelgood" may come from other Hurricanes song called the same.
Crazy man crazy, like Rory says.

Just discovered a group did a cover of a Rory Storm and The Hurricanes' song in 1975.
Sadly, if you search who the song is from, the name of this band comes up and not The Hurricanes. Sad news.

On this day, after it was discovered that George Harrison was under 18, German police authorities deported him from Hamburg.
John, Paul, Stu and Pete will continue to play as a four-piece at the Kaiserkeller as George travels back to Liverpool by himself.

Rory and The Hurricanes in France, May of 1962. The girl is Vicky Woods, a temporal addition to the band because they needed some "eye-candy" for their shows.
This time Lou Walters is temporarily replaced by Bobby Thompson on bass.

Ringo in chair

They were the only band I'd go and watch in Liverpool [..]It was the monsteral move of a lifetime, it was like 'How dare they throw Pete out!' Because I was well known there, half of the audience were for me. There was two chants going on-‘Pete forever, Ringo never!' & ‘Ringo forever, Pete never!'
