My real first introduction to a Beatle was when I was a kid and watched Ringo on "Shining Time Station" here in America, or "Thomas The Tank Engine" in England. I might be repeating a thread, but anyone else first introduced to Ringo this way?

I watched Shining Time Station when I was young too. The weird thing is that I was already into the Beatles and have seen pictures of Ringo on my dad's album covers.....but I never noticed that he was Mr. Conductor. then one day my dad was in the living room reading the newspaper while I was watching it and he heard his Ringo talking. he looked up from his paper and said "you know that's Ringo from the Beatles, right?"
my response? "No dad, that's Mr. Conductor." haha, gimme a break, I was like 7 years old at the time.
It's great...it sold...it's the bloody Beatles' White Album, shut up
You remind me of when I was young, and my parents wanted to see this movie because there was a certain actor in it. "But doesn't it spoil it," I asked, "if you realize this is a whole other guy and he's just pretending?"
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe. Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, Possessing and caressing me." "About a lucky man who made the grade" "I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you."
man I LOVED that show when I was little! I didn't really realize that it was Ringo until about 7 years back when I "re-discovered" the Beatles and was looking at some of my dad's albums. And at that it was originally played by George Carlin (I'm pretty sure...) I found a couple of clips on YouTube.
