I couldn't believe it at the beginning of the month when Ringo turned  7 0 !!! Good on him for still playing, singing & recording.  Smiley

Anyway, I just came across this & don't know if anyone else saw it? It's the "after encore" from Ringo's birthday concert. Supposedly, the rest of the All Star Band was in on it, but Ringo had no clue. I've read there were rumors floating around, so I'm thinking he knew. Anyway, if your video card will take it, change the video to 480p & full screen it - Paul serenading Ringo with "Birthday".

Thanks so much for posting this!  Ringo is my drummer son Robby's hero (one of mine, too!)!

You're quite welcome. : )

I just think it's pretty cool to see guys in their 60s & 70s still rocking. It gives me hope for my (truly) geriatric years.  Cheesy Every time I hear a rocker or rave up, I think I will always be a rocker - it's still my favorite for listening. Then I wonder if I'll slide into balladland & want to hear only sedate (as in sedative miming) music.

Nah. Gimme a screaming guitar, pounding bassline & crashing cymbals & I'm a happy girl again.  Wink

When Spirit's song "Nature's Way" was released, we were all dumbfounded to see some old bald guy (Ed Cassidy) playing drums (I was 15). After a while, we thought it was pretty cool, but it was still a shock to see someone "old" playing rock. It's still a shock, until I remember I'm not really in my 20s anymore - even if I'm still (permanently) 23 in my head.

Good info (and a sort of 6 Degrees of) on Ed Cassidy at: http://totonetwork.com/node/221149 Yup - that Toto.
