“I learned a lot about loads of things from George and I actually considered him a friend. Whereas I didn't really know much about Bob, George could recite every syllable of everything that Bob had ever written. I don't know if Jeff held Bob in that kind of high esteem, but I certainly know he admired and respected him greatly. During the second album we were together every day for six weeks. During that whole period, the longest I ever heard Bob speak to me was on the last day. I was in the kitchen and heard somebody calling my name: ‘Richard, Richard! Hey man, it's been great working with you. We've got to do it again, y'know.’ That was the most he said to me throughout the entire six weeks. [...] I engineered all of the second album [Traveling Wilburys Vol 3], which was done without Roy Orbison. I got to meet Roy during the process of finishing the first one and we worked on some of the tracks for [his 1989 comeback album] Mystery Girl. That was just incredible. So was working on albums with Duane Eddy and Del Shannon. As for Tom, I didn't meet him until we started the second Wilburys album and evidently I didn't annoy him. He really wanted Jeff to be his co-producer, and by then Jeff and I were kind of a package deal, working well together.” - Richard Dodd (engineer), Sound on Sound, February 2014 “That was a lot of fun. They’d have the tracks already cut, so I would go in there and put on parts for them and they would double everything that I did. So sometimes I’d put anywhere from 10 to 12 saxophones on a song and they would double everything. One time they had me sit on a toilet and play my soprano sax out into the hallway and the microphone would be down at the end of the hall. I thought they were joking with me, when they told me to go sit on the toilet and play my soprano. [There was] just crazy stuff like that.” - Jim Horn, Pop Dose, April 19, 2013 (x)

“This beautiful man, born about now even though he always celebrated on Feb 25th. It was war time and clocks went back an hour for lights out or blackout blinds down, so it was 24th and 25th. Pisces, duality, elusive, wonderful. Happy Birthday George.”
