Former Beatles drummer stays in tune

As the live beat of Beatles classics begins bouncing off the walls of the Elks Lodge, a man with a grey moustache stands before his drum set and speaks up in a Liverpool lilt.

"Let’s take you back," he tells the crowd, "to the days when I used to play with a bunch of guys by the names of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison ..."

Ringo Starr’s playing the Elks club? No.

Meet Pete Best, the drummer booted from the band just before Beatlemania exploded. John, Paul, George and new guy Ringo went on to become voices of a generation, musical and cultural history.
