@rockhall ELO and Olivia Newton-John

[Jim Leach @jimleach]

@rockhall Flew to L.A. twice to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO live. Worth every penny.

[Jim Leach @jimleach]

@RayLong @chicagotribune Congrats, Ray. Enjoy some well deserved R&R.

[Jim Leach @jimleach]

@classic_film Jeff Lynne of ELO. Brilliant songwriter and an incredible craftsman as a producer. His music transports me. Everyone from the Beatles to Brian Wilson to Tom Petty wanted to work with him. True genius.

[Jim Leach @jimleach]

@classic_film I love Sound of Music. I even got to play the Captain in a local production years ago, with my daughter as one of the von Trapp kids, so it will always have a special place in my heart. But for sheer perfect entertainment, start to finish, it’s almost impossible to top Singin’…

@JustAMomNamedMM The Beatles version of Twist and Shout

[Jim Leach @jimleach]

@20th_Centurygal Full Moon Fever, and it's not even close. Brilliant album. Every song is a classic.
