They were pioneers no doubt about it. That harmony - listen to old Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley tunes and you will hear where the harmony came from - referred to as that “high lonesome sound”. I listened to the Everly Brothers when they were popular (I was born in 1952) and then again with my daughter born in 1982. We had Gene Pitney, Everly Brothers, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline tapes interspersed with radio pop music from the 1980s, 90s and 2000s as our eclectic mix riding in the car together for many miles over the years.</p> Wake Up Little Suzie and Dream were my favorite Everly Bros tunes.

And kids are so misunderstood!!!</p> <p>That was the big hit at the parties in people’s basements about 120 years ago, when you’d sneak a little rum in that coke and get that hand a little closer to where it wasn’t supposed to be. And then, for the last, close dance, there would be “Dream,” also by the Everlys. </p> <p>And kids, don’t judge them on this reedy little sound over GooTube.</p> Sorry, it’s “Wake Up, Little Susie” that was their iconic song, and yet another in the long history of a song starting where you thought the kids had done something bad — like, you know, sex — and it turns out they had just fallen asleep, so they’re good kids but they have to explain it to their parents.

And kids, don’t judge them on this reedy little sound over GooTube.

I’m feeling well enough that some solid food — maybe one of those chewy bagels — sounds pretty good. Good luck on your next surgery.</p> Thanks, Marion.

My guy says I’m healing nicely and we’ve got the bottom half planned for July, on Friday the 13th. At least his name isn’t Freddy! It would seem that your surgery was more involved than mine, because my stitches were out in 10 days. Glad you’re doing well.</p> Retirin’, congratulations on being suture-free.
