Join Date: Jul 2007 | Cduck, what d`you think about this. My mother saw the pre-famous Beatles at Handsworth Plaza, Birmingham. The band that she co-managed with my late father, called The Silhouettes, were on the other side of the revolving stage setting up whilst The Beatles played. She remembers asking: "Is their name `The Beatless`? Well they are a very good band, but they are beatless, they need to change that drummer!" So you see, she pre-empted George Martin, who told John Paul and George exactly the same thing. By the way, those Silhouettes were a cla** act who decided to pack it in when the Beatles and many other British bands finally achieved national fame. They, sadly, believed that their Thunder had been stolen, became too down-hearted, so called it a day. Mom begged them to carry on, but to no avail. When Ringo joined the Beatles permanently, having "sat in" with them on many occasions when Pete Best was ill, it was a cue for a Legend.

In that case, I'd like to thank your mother for putting the finishing touches on the greatest band to have ever made music by recommending a personnel change.  
Music - the answer to everything
 PEACE!
