Ringo met The Beatles first time in Hamburg 1961. The Beatles liked him and his weird but harmless humor and obviously he was a lot better drummer then Pete Best that time. So the plan to get Pete out of the band derives from year 1961, when Ringo joined temporarly The Beatles when they played as Wally's back-up group in the recording house of Hamburg railway station. After Hamburg Ringo had gave up his welder trainee job and was many years unemployed sitting his idle days in Cavern, Jacaranda or in the office of Mersey Beat. Those days Ringo, who had always adored the wild west started to develop the idea about moving to America.
