The Official Electric Light Orchestra Site

this is something that always amazes me about musicians.. i wonder, when macca or lynne were creating the songs, how they noted down their ideas? you know.. without reading /writing music, how do you write down how something sounds?.. also when your library is soooo extensive, how do you remember what a tune goes like.. bearing in mind, your not just thinking of the lead guitar... you've got the bass and the percussion too to plan..
