Everly Brothers Tribute Episode

The songs of The Everly Brothers are permanently burned into my brain from long family road trips while growing up.  All seven of us would pile into the car and drive to Florida every summer.  These songs were the soundtrack to those times.

There's no talking in this episode (lucky you), just the timeless songs of the great Everly Brothers.  Enjoy!
