It was the summer of 1997. My friend Jose Acosta's father was doing some landscaping at a home in Malibu, CA. The owner came out & was about to introduce himself. Before he could, Mr. Acosta stopped him & said "Trust me, you don't need to introduce yourself. I know who you are". It turned out that Mr. Acosta's customer was none other than Ringo Starr.

Mr. Acosta asked Ringo for his autograph, & after Ringo consented, realized that he hadn't any paper to write on. He pulled out a $1.00 bill and Ringo signed it.

Later on, Mr. Acosta mentioned to Ringo that he wished he had a picture of this, as his son a Beatles Fan. Ringo excused himself & brought back a nice glossy for Mr. Acosta & signed it for him.

I asked my friend Jose if I could scan both the dollar bill & the glossy. He said yes. I told him that I would share it with the rest of the world over the internet.

So Ladies & Gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure:
