RIP Phil Everly
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Phil Everly
I'm sorry to hear that. I was just listening to Crying in the Rain yesterday on Music Choice Solid Gold Oldies. Very enjoyable. They were huge favorites of Rose Jean and Rose Marie, two of my mentors when I was in grade school and they were in high school. They were our cheerleader coaches.
"Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" -- that's what they listened to.

This really hurts. I'm glad I got to see the Brothers a couple times after they rebanded; they weren't talking to each other for years.

Re: RIP Phil Everly
x 100Their harmonies influenced pretty much everyone in the "second generation" of rock & roll, including a very profound influence on John & Paul.
Nancy & I saw them a few years ago when they toured with Simon & Garfunkel. When they sang "Let It Be Me", I had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat the size of a grapefruit. Those 70 year-old dudes still sounded like the teenagers they were when they first came to prominence. Initially, we had debated paying the $180 per ticket for the show, but as I asked my wife (with the tears running down her face) "glad we spent the money?", she answered "worth every penny".
I have never regretted the expenditure..even more so now.
