Bye Bye Love

  I will not let another day go by without mentioning the death of Phil Everly.
  ( Do you think he parents really only used one L in Phil??)
 Music is indeed my favorite language, and The Everly Brothers started me on this journey.
 I was all of five, when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957. ( I thought I was grown even then!)
 (and I was boy crazy, at a very young age!) I loved Phil Everly. I learned all of the words to their songs, and would sing constantly, in the yard, in the house, in the car. Mom would stop the neighbors and have me sing for them, I was an Everly brother savant!
  Just think, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream..... Dream......Dream....Dream!! These words I could remember, then I would belt out, I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine and the neighbors would smile, and grab their kids!!! Here he comes, that's Cathy's Clown....was my swing set song, I would be soaring so high, and just sing that one line.
   By the early sixties I had moved on, but I would never forget my Everly Brothers. Just this past weekend, I could be heard from Jacksonville and back to Atlanta, singing my heart out.
 Oh Phil, I hope you lived a good life. I do know one little girl, that you carried her heart with you.
 Bye Bye Love
 I think I'm gonna die
