Cease: by name
Moderately Ginchy: See Dirty Loops

Beet: A totally pure voice. Like an opera singer.

llanwydd: and a fantastic lineup
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Gee Mom, isn't that bridge built yet?"
Rufus_T_Firetween: llanwydd: travelling wilburys was a fantastic sound << You can sure hear Lynne's ELO production
johan amadeus myjetski: if you'd asked me if i thought dylan, petty, & harrison could ever be in the same band (never mind orbison!), i'd have said you were crazy to even think that was possible
Beet: Truly amazing.
