Modo atual:  encantado
Well I resisted for awhile but ended up going to ASCAP's music conference this past weekend and it ended up being a great time.  The one panelist that could have alone made the whole thing way worth it was former ELO singer/producer Jeff Lynne.  And this is not to discount how good the experience was as a whole. 

His stories, as I sat 20 feet away, sent me into inspiration mode.  I had a few tears in my eyes as he talked about his first meeting with George Harrison at George's house and how terrified Jeff was to meet his idol.  How even though Jeff was a massive international rock star, meeting Harrison gave him the willies. He was really scared and almost turned away when he got to the gates of his house.  Dave Edmunds, a fellow rock and roller was having dinner with Lynne when after three hours at the dinner table, Edmunds told Lynne that George asked him if Lynne would produce his new album. He wondered why he waited 'til the end of the dinner to tell him this. Probably worked out good as he would not have been able to eat.  So he went to meet George, they got in a boat that traveled around the grounds of his home and Lynne was told to not use his arms to steady the boat but rather to plant his bum.  They discussed many things and the rest was Wilbury, Beatles, Tom Petty production history. Other stories were told but I will only mention one more.  After everyone was asked to join The Traveling Wilbury's (Petty and Dylan etc.) and accepted, the one guy left to find was Roy Orbison.  George and Jeff found out where he was doing a show and afterwards, went backstage to meet with him.  Harrison simply said to Orbison, 'hey, would you like to join our group and he accepted after a short pause.  It was the beginning of a revival for Orbison and Lynne said he was so happy during this period shortly before he passed away.  Bye the way, in the room during this interview with Jeff was Dhani Harrison (George's son and twin). Jeff could be seen giving Dhani the thumbs up as he talked about his dad.
