@TwiHusband I love this whole album. One of my faves.
@codeWhisperer ELO was my all-time fave band. I loved "Fire On High."
@codeWhisperer War of the Worlds. #sigh
@codeWhisperer Oh, you poor deprived soul. War of the Worlds the rock opera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YwFvmnbj3E&list=PLFV_pTSMduaURY4rVeOeWDCIWcgdAW7PZ
@TwiHusband Ah. I know about that (and it is on my playlist, but that is Jeff Wayne, correct?)
@codeWhisperer Yep, by Lynne and the band had a piece of it.
@codeWhisperer I was startled the first time I heard Bevan did percussion for it.
@TwiHusband I did not know that. I've looked for info on that but could not find anything.
@codeWhisperer 70's and 80's produced a hell of a lot of music and collaborations that few people remember.
@TwiHusband BTW, definitely NOT not attempting to argue with you, I'd be THRILLED to learn that Jeff Lynne had something to do with that album. π
I also found this:
http://www.jefflynnesongs.com/notjeff.htm
which states that Lynne has no connection, but I guess one can never be too sure about things unless they were actually involved in the project(s). Also, I am unsure who Robert Porter is , so no telling. π
@codeWhisperer Interesting. Urban legend maybe? If it is, I'll bow to superior information.
I grew up thinking that a parsec was the distance between our sun and Alpha Centauri. I learned today that it's not.
@TwiHusband Who knows? Since Lynne is still around and kicking I guess we could ask him. π
Ah parsec, yeah that's a tricky one. Both Astronomical Unit (A.U.) and "parsec" are Earth-specific distances, so if we want to join the galactic (and extra-galactic) society we should really use more universal measurements. At least in this universe.
@codeWhisperer Likely the Federation will have some other equally arbitrary unit of measure.

@TwiHusband
In any event, I do agree with you that Wayne's War of the Worlds is also a great album, and I do often have it playing in the background when I am coding. π
@codeWhisperer "Thunderchild".
@TwiHusband Not sure I understand this one... did he perform on the War of the Worlds soundtrack?
