Dingo was the drummer of The Beagles.
This picture predates that.
Here we can see that Pete Nest was still in the group.
Thanks, mojofilter!

oddly enough (but I'm French), when I used to listen to "Free As A Bird" John's home piano demo at the Dakota (the take 1) I heard John introducing the song "Free... as a boid".
Could it be "boid" that John is saying before starting to play this song. This could make a sense with the verse "home, home and dry".

"Boid" is pronunciation of "bird" with an accent from a certain part of New York City. It was John that I quoted in the thread title.
Think of Archie Bunker's accent as portrayed by Carroll O'Connor, or Bugs Bunny by Mel Blanc. In that dialect, the sound of "oi" and "ir / er" are swapped. "Oil" becomes "earl," and "bird" becomes "boid."
