I did not remember when I had made it but I know I have had it a LONG time. In doing some on-line research into when it might have been made I ran across a reference to a "Roy Wood" ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Lynne Lynne is one of the famous Birmingham musicians who came to the fore in the 60s. He began his career in Idle Race, where he was the chief song writer and one of the lead singers and guitarists. He was invited by Roy Wood to join the Move in '68, but wanted to take his chances with Idle Race first. However, when he was asked to join again, he did so in 1970. At the same time, Lynne and Wood harbored ideas to start a more experimental outfit, to "begin where "I am the Walrus" left off". This outfit turned out to be Electric Light Orchestra. Since there was too much talent for one group, Wood only stayed for one album, leaving Lynne to become the group's lead singer, guitarist and song-writer. ELO had a long string of hits during the 70s and early 80s snip ----------------------------------------------------------------- Is this the one and the same Roy as the above??? This seems to indicate that I have been enjoying his music with out knowing it for a LONG TIME. ELO ??? WOW! WOW! I was a big listener of their music when it was NEW. -- Paul Holmgren Hoosier Corps #33, L-6 2 57 300-C's in Indy
