1) In this song, Ringo stumbles upon a photograph that reminds him of a lost love. Are there any photos displayed in the room you’re in right now?

No. But there are several pieces of art made from photographs. I have several pieces Man Child #3 did of photos of my now-passed dad, as well as some of the hubs and I.

2) While there are approximately 180 published songs credited to Lennon-McCartney, this is the only song written by Harrison-Starr. When you think of Ringo’s old band, the Beatles, what’s the first song that comes to mind?

It’s always Blackbird or Hey Jude. But Blackbird is one of my favorites, so that’s the video you get!

3) George and Ringo wrote this song while on a yacht in the South of France. They, and their wives, had just attended Mick Jagger’s wedding to Bianca in Saint Tropez and decided to take a little holiday together. What are your vacation plans for 2025?

Not a one! Maybe a staycation at some point.

4) At 5’8, Ringo was the shortest Beatle and the only one with blue eyes. How tall are you? What’s your eye color?

5’3″ on a good day with mostly green eyes.

5) Ringo gave his first wife, Maureen, a one-of-a-kind birthday gift. Frank Sinatra recorded “The Lady Is a Tramp” with special lyrics, written just for her. Do you have anything that’s personalized? (It could be a monogram on a scarf, it doesn’t have to be as cool as a gift from Frank Sinatra.)

I have a star! My husband had a star named for me a few years ago. I love that!

6) Ringo appeared as Mr. Conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine. He recorded the narration for the entire first season in just a week. Tell us what you did last week.

I wrote, I edited, I crocheted, I read a lot. Lather, rinse, repeat!

7) As a boy in Liverpool, Ringo loved watching American westerns. Do you like cowboy movies/shows?

I watched a lot of them growing up, as my grandfather was into them. But not so much now. Just not my thing, usually.

8) In 1973, when this song was a hit, former President Lyndon Johnson died. Who was President when you were a kid?

From birth in 1970 to 1988, when I became a legal adult… Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan x2, George H.W. Bush.

9) Random question: When you woke up this morning, did you know the day and date (before looking at your phone)?

Yup. Even though it was bright and early at 0545.
