“The thing about the Wilburys for me is—if we’d tried to plan it, or if anybody had said, let’s form this band and get these people in it—it would never happen, it’s impossible. It happened completely, just by magic, just by circumstance. Maybe there was a full moon that night or something like that. It was quite a magical little thing really.” - George Harrison
At the time, except for a couple of songs, I had the impression of a bunch of guys sitting around telling jokes but with lyrics. Possibly songs they wrote for fun but didn’t fit with their commercial albums. But here they were perfect for a light hearted fun gathering. So much talent they could make, Mary Had A Little Lamb sound good.
