  1. From the set of the "Ringo" special ("Ognir Ratts"). Ringo with co-stars Vincent Price, Carrie Fisher and John Ritter.

    1. You are correct. If I hadn't been away when I had this scheduled to post, I would have added that info. I had just shared two stories about the Ognir Ratts TV special and found this shot while I was searching for photos. I'd never seen it before.

    2. Thanks, Sara. Interestingly, I met Ringo for the first time in Dallas on April 12, 1978 while he was in town to promote this TV special. This was was long before the current "meet and greets" -- when it was tough to meet a Beatle. Three friends and I followed him from a restaurant (where a private party was taking place) out to D/FW International airport and pulled up right behind his limo. No one else was around, so we had his attention privately for a good five minutes. Hilary Gerrard was with him. This was before John died, so there was no fear of fans. He also signed for us which, of course, he no longer does. Super nice guy. Unfortunately, no one thought to bring a camera!
