Photograph

It's supposed to rain a lot on Saturday. Since this is Thursday, I have no idea except for what the weatherman says and along the coast he is usually not on the money got out seaside area.

Thursday, as I was writing this, eas very windy though.

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Photograph (1973)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?    Hear it here.

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?    Yes. Photos of great grands, grands, parents, dog, sons and daughter.. Yup, there are photos in this room on one of the bookshelves.

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?    "Michelle"

 

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?     

I don't have plans for a vacation.  I live in a vacation area anyway.   Years back a friend of mine went to the Bahamas.  I asked her how it was there.  She said, "It's New Jersey with a palm tree thrown in."

 

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?

Last time my height was measured for my spinal exam I was a bit over 5'5".  My eyes are green.

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 personalized hanging ornament and a key chain. A long while ago a friend made me a drawing personalized with  "Chana-Banana" written on it.     

 

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.

The weather was stormy and windy.     I was home doing honey things and reading and drinking tea.

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

 Yes.  I like to watch them on YouTube, and TV as re-runs.   I like the old TV shows and the old movies.

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

 The president when I was old enough to know about such things was JFK

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

Yes.     I don't stay close to my phone at all.   I usually keep the 5G and wifi turned off.   I hate how everyone  is addicted to their phone.   They answer it when at dinner, visiting someone, in a store, in the car.   Any place they happen to be the phone comes first. 

Yes, its a real addiction and its not normal.
