    I did see that Ziggy - what a freak accident. I didn't connect it with ELO.
    TIME - my all time favourite album. I think it sounds as good today as it did then and I still give it a regular play. I'll give it a special play in remembrance.

    Sad that.

    I've a lot of old LPs which I never play, I've checked and amongst them there's three ELO LPs, "Face the Music," "A New World Record" and the double album; "Out of the Blue."
    Can't say I've played any of them in the last 20-25 years and then not played that often when they were new, as I notice they are "in as new condition" but then I used to copy records onto tape to play in my car.
    Of course Mike Edwards wasn't on any of these recordings.

    But I've always liked this tune.

    The weather was horrible here today.
    Time to get on with the painting that needs done in the house.
    Played ELO- TIME - my favourite album and did a bit of painting,
    It was all sad - but sweet.
    I loved - and still love - that band. TIME - my all time favourite album.
    What a freak accident and how sad.
    My sincere condolences to family and friends.
    Please just accept my tribute for pleasure given.
