Los Angeles - Drumming up interest in Ringo

FORMER Beatles drummer Ringo Starr put snapshots of his musical and creative life on display in a new exhibition, "Ringo: Peace & Love," which opened on June 11 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.

Starr, 72, was on hand at the exhibition opening, which offers an in-depth look at his career as he rose to fame with The Beatles.

Highlights include Starr's Ludwig drum kit, used during The Beatles' appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show," and the outfit he wore during the era of the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, between 1966 and 1967.

Nearly 50 years after The Beatles first arrived in the US, Starr said he still keeps busy and is currently working on adapting The Beatles' song "Octopus's Garden" into a children's picture book.

The "Ringo: Peace & Love," exhibition runs until next March.
