Oh that look!

Ignore that silly caption nonsense and instead check out how that girl is looking at Ringo!   Wouldn't you have loved to have had the chance to look at one of the Beatles like that?

Smiling Ringo

Things seem a bit gloomy out there right now----so here is a smiling Ringo to brighten up everyone's day.

"Which one are you again?"

A snowy arrival

Train ride

Vending

I love this photo!  The girl sitting in the train seats just looked shocked.   She thought she was simply going to buy some swiss cheese on rye bread---not see John Lennon walking by. 

Ringo and Linda

Pictured here with Ringo is 9 year old Linda Binns who was from Richmond, Virginia.  She was returning on the train  home. from New York with her parents.  She spotted the Beatles on the train and decided that she wanted to get their autographs.   She needed Ringo's autograph and since she was a cute kid, the the press allowed her and her brother into the Beatles car.   She got to sit and chat with Ringo  When it was time for her to leave, she gave Ringo a kiss on the cheek because it was a polite thing to do!   You can read all of Linda's story in Garry Berman's great book, We're Going to See the Beatles!

Chatting her up on a train

I am not sure who this young lady is, but I do know that she is not Jane Asher as one new book says.  I believe she is one of the fans that was on the train to Washington D.C.

We Welcome the Beatles

Here is a photo of the Beatles (well I only spot 3 of them in the crowd, but you know John is in there somewhere) arriving by train to Washington D.C. in 1964.   Among the crowd of police and reporters and photographers, there are also some fans who were waiting to meet them that snowy day.  

Mr. Conductor

Here is Ringo signing an autograph for a train conductor (ironic since he will later in life play one on TV) on the train trip to Washington D.C. in 1964.
