The Everley Bros., one of which just passed a week or so back, did some 
truly phenomenal work before you were a gleam in Daddies eye.  I am sure 
you can find some poorly recorded videos on youtube.  They even had a tv 
show, till they got into a spat, live on tv, and one of them walked off the 
set, and they never sang together again.  And the planet is musically 
poorer because of it.

Cheers, Gene
