HAHAHA Which two of you put stars on my blogs?! Are you or were you teachers? What qualifies as a 5 star versus a 4 or 3 star blog?? Is it the content of my blog, is my prose lacking a certain amount of positive outlook, or is it even my lack of ability in using comma's correctly?

But this particular morning is a little different. Tom Allen of KOKE is taking time to remember Phil Everly, who passed away last week following a long career providing great harmony with his brother, Don (who still survives)....
