Paul McCartney to Jeff Lynne, according to Jeff Lyne – 2020 Flaming Pie Archive Collection book
The “Flaming Pie” sessions restarted in February 1996, again with Jeff Lynne. Here is how the work routine developed:
Paul would usually play me a new song on guitar or piano so I could learn it and play along with him. We decided to play a lot of lead and rhythm guitars in unison and we enjoyed the sound that we were making. Sometimes we would play old Beatles instruments like the harpsichord and the spinet. At the end of the session each day we would go back to Paul and Linda’s to listen to the day’s work and think of ideas for the next day. I loved Paul’s studio overlooking the sea. It was an inspiring place to record.
