Great to know that you're still alive!

PM me, let me know what's going on with you.

Things are good here. Looks like there's going to be a full Five-Eight reunion on the 14th of November. Sean's coming down. Should be fun.

Glad to hear there will be an 'original and still the best' reunion of Five-Eight.

I'll PM to catch up.

i voted not crap. he is exceptional when it comes to capturing the "triumphant" feel of drumming, like when he comes in and out with the booming fills of "long long long"

but i must say, "while my guitar gently weeps" has got to be his worst drum performance, and one of the worst ever.

that doesn't matter so much though, i think he's very not crap overall.

Now that James Brown has stopped touring Ringo Starr is the one concert my parents will still get dressed up and go to when he comes into town, for that alone not crap.

Ringo is the total antithesis of crap!

Very, very solid, innovative sound, doesn't waste a stroke and supports the songs perfectly. The fills on "A Day in the Life" are a perfect example of his brilliance.

Also analysis of the recording sessions show that rarely if ever was a take stopped because of Ringo messing up.

He also is the most humble of the Beatles and his voice is so bad its good. He also gets points for staying clear of the drama and collaborating with all of the Beatles post break-up
