Maggie's Farm

Great americana --esp after lingering over the politics far too unhealthily long for any kind of decent afternoon mood.

Say, if Kentucky wins --you could post up these two favorite sons --the Everly Brothers.

This video is a treasure --the two kids --18 and 20 --are so shy and goofy answering the emcee's questions they're just little boys --then the emcee steps away saying okay, go ahead and sing, and the kids stand up and in an instant completely change into grown-up major league performers, singing "Bye Bye Love" --a BIG 1957 hit --just perfectly lick-for-lick as the record sounded.

Nice shot of that country audience, too --grandmas and grandpas on down to 8 and 10 years olds --all clearly there for the music.

What a great time that was. I was one of them audience youngsters' age in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the time, and remember my 3-years older sister just dissolving into a heap of blubbering hysteria over the Everly Brothers.

aw, man --good stuff --'bridge over' soooo fine. My youngest daughter just listened along with me --she nearly went teary-eyed.
