Phil Everly died today. I saw the obit on the web, and one of their songs came on in the background- Cathy's Clown. Hadn't heard that one in- decades- and got a flood of childhood memories. My mom was a teenager when I was born, and my dad barely 21, and the Everly Brothers' music was always playing on the radio back then. All through the sixtys and seventies people covered their music. It's easy to forget how influential they were, but they were one of the earliest influences for so many who came later.
