Very sad. I knew their music as a kid, because my old man was a huge fan. But not as much as my Uncle Ray. His parties were great, because you knew once the Everly Brothers came on, the party had kicked up a gear. What that meant for me and my cousins was it’s hit the streets for a bit of knock and run fun, cause the adults were having to much fun.
Sadly my Uncle Ray is doing it tough in palliative care down in Wollongong with lung cancer. I sent him a text today, just reminding him of this time in the 70’s, and how much fun the Everly brothers gave to us kids, as well as him.
