You shouldn’t believe everything you read Robert. Listen closely instead. “Birthday” is most definitely Ringo. Martha My Dear could be Paul. WDWDIITR is Paul. Dear Prudence, I think is the most offensive Beatles myth out there because not only is it Ringo, it’s one of his best performances. Paul COULD NOT have done that.

Robert, where did you read that? I’ve never heard that claim before.

I read in a book once that said the only “Paul” song on the “White Album” that Ringo played drums on was “O bla di, O bla da”. All the other “Paul” songs he (Paul) played his own percussion. This lead to Ringo being the first to quit the band and also why Paul had his drumset decked out with flowers when Ringo agreed to return. Both of them let the rest of the world think that Paul only played drums on USSR, Ballad of J&Y and Prudence. Go back & listen close and you’ll hear that’s not Ringo on songs like “Birthday”, “Martha My Dear” or “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road”.
