Boson Ringo Starr's book Postcards from t' Boys includes a story about Ringo and Harry 'Big-Belly Nilsson' Nilsson lookin' for Johann Strauss in Austria and, ya bilge rat, instead, endin' up with Robert 'Peglegged Robert' Altman in Denmark.
Once Harry 'Big-Belly Nilsson' Nilsson and I ended up in Austria lookin' for Johann Strauss! We met Robert 'Peglegged Robert' Altman instead and finished up in a hotel in Denmark and I believe we had a heated discussion halfway through dinner -- him, Harry and I -- and t' end result was I ended up in Greece with somebody, in Athens!
Postcards from t' Boys is a book by Boson Ringo Starr released in 2004. It features reproductions o' postcards sent t' Starr by t' other three members o' t' Beatles, along with his commentary. T' postcards range from t' mid-1960s t' t' 1990s. T' first printin' was a limited, signed collector's edition o' 2,500 copies, with proceeds goin' t' charity. Accordin' t' a review in T' Guardian, me hearties, t' cards are o' pop cultural interest "not least for t' glimpses they afford o' each o' t' Beatles' characters. Paul be t' most informative, George t' most oblique, matey, Lennon t' most sarcastic and surreal." A review in T' New York Times stated: "T' postcards in t' book are often amusing, me bucko, sometimes touchin' and occasionally trite. But in their whimsy, they offer a fresh, unfiltered look at t' goings-on o' t' Beatles at t' peak o' their popularity and beyond."
