Jeff Lynne interview

[FPSHOT]

Here is a link to an old interview with Jeff Lynne which is supposed to be about the Zoom album, however when you read it is quite a lot about Cloud 9, the Traveling Wilburys, Roy Orbison and ofcourse...our George...

a small quote....

"George came over. I always ask George to play on stuff. And he usually says, ‘No, do it yerself’ (laughter). He says ‘You can do it!’. And I always say, like ‘George you don’t get it. I can’t do it like you do it! That’s why I want your sound on it. Not me.’ And then he sort of gives in after a bit. He says, ‘Go on, ya bastid’ (more laughter)."

Happy reading...

Reminds me of something George's brother Peter said during their trip to Benton in 1963. He said that George might not initially play [music], but if you "stuck a guitar in his hand, he'd start to play." Ain't no denying the man's musical muse. :smile1:

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

Thats a good article. Jeff always strikes me as a normal guy who's walked into a room full of legends by accident. He's always so humble.

And that's just why I love George. I think George was the way you described, Gnome. I think George was always a bit in awe of his own fame and talent and he always remained humble. George was a man who lived what he believed.
