In celebration of Ringo Starr’s 70th birthday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be displaying his gold-plated snare drum in a special exhibit honoring the musician’s birthday.  On loan from Ringo Starr, it was originally presented to him by the Ludwig Drum Company during The Beatles’ 1964 visit to Chicago when the legendary rock group, in which Mr. Starr was the drummer, was on its first tour of the United States.  The exhibit will be on view from July 7th through December 2010 in the Museum’s second-floor Musical Instruments Galleries.  Visit www.metmuseum.org/ for more information.
