An incredible, heartwarming look into Ringo Starr's childhood! In this October 2021 Master Class, Ringo pays tribute to his stepfather, whom he calls "the best man in the world" and his greatest musical influence.
Ringo shares that his stepdad, who loved big band music like Glenn Miller, never criticized the rock Ringo played, but instead introduced him to drummers like Cozy Cole. This exposure taught Ringo to love the tom-toms, a trait that defines his drumming style today, which he humorously admits means "I can't play straight!" A beautiful story of support and musical discovery.
