All I Have to Do Is Dream
Saturday 9: All I Have to Do Is Dream (1958)
Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
1) Did you dream last night?
1) Did you dream last night?
Of course. Do I remember the dreams? Of course not. I never do.
2) In this song, The Everly Brothers dream of kissing "lips of wine." Do you prefer red or white wine?

I like sparkling wines, like prosecco and champagne.
3) In 1975, Rolling Stone ranked Phil and Don #1 on their list of the greatest duos of all time. Name another musical twosome.
Simon and Garfunkel.
4) Mike Love has acknowledged the influence The Everly Brothers had on The Beach Boys' harmonies. What's your favorite Beach Boys song?
5) The pressure of touring took its toll on the Everly Brothers' personal relationship, and those stresses spilled onto the stage. They once had a fight in front their audience that ended with Phil smashing his guitar and storming off. Have you ever busted something in anger?
No, but I have known people who have.
6) One of Don's friends was author/storyteller Garrison Keillor and that's how the Everly Brothers came to perform on Keillor's radio program, A Prairie Home Companion. Do you often listen to the radio or to podcasts?

Alexa, play some Billy Joel...
7) The brothers chose to live in different cities and held opposite views on politics. Don said, "Everything is different about us, except when we sing." Do you have siblings? If so, are you more alike or different?
I have three sisters.
8) In 1958, the year this song was a hit, Americans were doing the Cuban dance, the cha-cha-cha. Do you ever dance or sing when you're home alone?

Shh, don't tell, but yes...
9) Random question -- Do you believe we each get one true love?
No.

I usually just ask Alexa to play something, too. I have a favorites list and she seems to know I prefer 1970s and 1980s music.

Oh! I wish I could drink sparkling wine! It sounds so elegant.

I've GOT to find my Dot. It's around here somewhere, I just can't remember where. I don't talk to it though (weirds me out). I just sling stuff from Amazon music to it from my phone.
ReplyDelete#2 I had my first glass of prosecco last month a couple took me out to dinner for a belated birthday present.
ReplyDeleteSo, does that mean they were the first to smash a guitar on stage? Because we all know that became a thing.
