fun fact: the guitar played in the theme is played by vic flick, and you can find him on an episode of pawn stars selling the very guitar used to play it.
Ringo was only 9 years older than David Janson (Jaxon) who played the boy Charlie. His birthday is March 30,1950 and this scene was filmed early March 1964 making him almost 14 and Ringo was 23. The guitar in the background was played by Vic Flick. ☺
What Ringo has brought to the band is the comedic aspect which has made the Beatles what they are. If they'd been a cool rock band just like any other of the bunch they wouldn't have been as successful as they eventually were. It made this supernatural band human. The hunanisation of the band was Ringo's biggest achievement.
Ringo at 23 when this was filmed was only 9 years older than actor David Jaxon (Janson) who played Charlie and was just turning 14 March 30,1964 a few weeks after this scene was filmed.
Whenever I get to the end, I feel this wave of sadness like when the sun goes down on the last day of summer vacation or when you say goodbye to a friend you won’t see again for a long while.
I return to the movie, and this video specifically, to just block out this crazy world and surround myself with the great emotional and musical vibes. I'm 66 and a drummer - Ringos drumming and feel for the music was perfect - magical. In my opinion part of what made the Beatles music so special was 1. The song writing 2. Their three part harmonies 3. Ringo's drumming!... of course all those hours spent playing in Germany (Pete Best too), Cavern Club, etc so they were musically so tight was another special ingredient.... thank you, thank you George, Ringo, John, and Paul
To be honest, when the camera fell into the water, I started yelling because I felt sorry for the camera. But I love Ringo I love "I hard day's night"!
This has been my favorite scene since first seeing the film in 1964. I'm 67 now, and watching it brings tears to my eyes. I've always wanted to go retrace the steps of Ringo's walk...preferably with Ringo!
That's Vic Flick on guitar. He did most of the studio work for the Beatles before 1966. Bernard Purdy and Ronnie Verrell did all of the drum work. Starky is a lizard musician at best. They named him Ringo Starr because our Luciferian overlords are Saturn worshippers!
Mr. Starr is and always will be the conductor. I pounded out and finessed his tunes, playfully and skillfully on a beautiful Remington upright. My mum loved it. You have no idea. Kept her alive for months. She had a great voice and even better rhythm. Born in 1925, she got you, loved you, and the joy you have brought to us is immeasurable. God bless, dear one. Thank you, Ringo.
