[da man]

Showing my age, but this one really hurts. Back before my voice went even further South than it already was, I could sing all the Everly Brothers' harmony parts. OK, I tried, at least.

Hope Don's doing OK.

Owensboro's own.

Other O'boro notables: Florence Henderson, Rex Chapman.

And home to the last public hangin' execution in the United States.

Got into a fight one night at the Boiler Room.

That's all I got.

I saw the Everly Brothers on the Simon & Garfunkel reunion tour 10 years ago. Their voices were still great.
One of my band mates and I were trying to sing the Everly Brothers harmony just the other night. We failed.
This is a really great BBC documentary

RIP to one of the most influential Rock & Rollers of all-time.

 

[Shoeless Joe]

Knoxville is where the Everlys did most of their growing up and where they got noticed by Chet Atkins.

RIP

All I Have To Do Is Dream is my favorite Everly Brothers song. And yes, their harmony was outstanding.

RIP Phil

 

[Versatile]

They were the type of music you could play when your grandmother was around.

 

[I Should Coco]

These words from the Everly Brothers always makes me smile:

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie

And they sang those words with such great harmony.

RIP, Phil.
