It’s really good.

“Wilburys”: Good stuff. Del Shannon was supposed to be in the band, but he killed himself.

Jeff Lynne is immensely talented. “ELO”: John Lennon said if The Beatles hadn’t broken up, that’s what they would have sounded like going forward.

I saw a Beatles tribute band called “Rain” a few years ago. Outside of “Paul” being right handed, it looked & sounded like 1964-1970.

About 25 years ago, a then-local used record store had a green Hofner Bass for sale for $125. I was going to buy it, but the neck was so banana-ed. I still should have bought it, just as a decoration.

RE Rain:
I remember them as well. GOod show.

You should have bought the Hofner; the neck can be straightened (there’s a truss rod inside the neck center that yu can adjust with an Allen wrench). Failing adjsutment, you can replace the neck.

They’re nice instruments.
