Did anyone get Ringo's autograph before the cut-off date?

Who's That Woman? The cat's mother?

[HonaloochieB]

No, she's a woman who understands, she's a woman who loves her man.

Or so I'm led to believe.

Autograph

By Richard Starkey and George Harrison

EV?RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE,

IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO.

BUT ALL I GOT IS AN AUTOGRAPH

AND I REALISE YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK ANYMORE.

I THOUGHT I?D MAKE IT THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY,

BUT I CAN'T MAKE IT

TILL YOU COME HOME AGAIN TO STAY-YI-YAY-YI-YAY.

I CAN'T GET USED TO LIVING HERE,

WHILE MY HEART IS BROKE, MY TEARS I CRIED FOR YOU.

I WANT YOU HERE TO HAVE AND HOLD,

AS THE YEARS GO BY AND WE GROW OLD AND GREY.

NOW YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU,

BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO.

I CAN'T GET USED TO LIVING HERE,

WHILE MY HEART IS BROKE, MY TEARS I CRIED FOR YOU.

I WANT YOU HERE TO HAVE AND HOLD,

AS THE YEARS GO BY AND WE GROW OLD AND GREY.

EV?RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE,

IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO.

BUT ALL I GOT IS AN AUTOGRAPH

AND I REALISE YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK ANYMORE.

EV?RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE,

IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO.

BUT ALL I GOT IS AN AUTOGRAPH

AND I REALISE YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK ANYMORE.

EV?RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE,

Seems that Ringo was a collector as well...

[HonaloochieB]

Tell you what TLS, it still bloody works. Why?

'Cause when Ringo laid it down all those years back, he knew at some point he'd stop signing autographs and this would be a potential song to allow someone to explain on his behalf whatagwan.

He was of course a photogapher for a while, was he not? Took the cover portraits of T Rex's Slider, did he not?

He could of course, could he not? Because he is above and beyond all else, a Beatle.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

He will ALWAYS remain,first and foremost,a Beatle. Hona.

[Jah Lush]

But he wasn't even the best photographer in the Beatles.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

...but he wooed the audiences on his "All-Starr" Tours....

I trust the more insightful of our viewers will note the clever play on words of "Starr/Starr".....its that type of vivid and fertile imagery that demonstrates that Ringo will... always be a Beatle.
