FAMOUS GRAVES-Visiting The Everly Brothers Home Town, Monument & Museum Exhibit In Central City, KY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Today, my travels back in time take me to the famous grave site of singer Phil Everly, at Rose Hill Cemetery, in Central City, Kentucky. This is the Everly Brother's home town and I also visit their Everly Brothers monument and the Central City Tourism music museum, where director Freddie Mayes gives me a tour and introduces me to a few other local natives who made it big, including James Best, Merle Travis, Jim Walker and John Prine.
I spent the night at the Super 8 hotel in Central City and also give you a tour of my room and share my review of the hotel and room, in case you're planning a visit.
Thanks for joining me on another nostalgic road trip down memory lane.

My mom use to play, which is a song I love, "All I Have To Do" I hope that correct...well the dream song!
I remember the Everly Brothers and their songs.
I am 70 years old. I have loved the Everly Brothers music my entire life. This visit is important to me and I am SO grateful you shared this visit with us all!! 🤗🙂
Mom Everly is 99, that's great! Two of my favorite singers! And I'm happy you enjoyed your visit to my home state of Kentucky.
it was wonderful!
Very nice, wonderful music legends and thank you for taking us along. You are very good at telling everyone the details.🌻
Thank you Steve! That was extremely interesting. I’m a big Everly Brothers fan and I once shook Phil’s hand at the Wisconsin Dells.
how cool!
I loved their harmony. Let it be me...
I love this song from them forgotten the title of the song Please Mr Conductor don't get me off this train must get home to kiss mama gòodbye b4 God takes her away
Yep The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly wow the good old days when music was music. Wonderful tour & of the museum. Thank you
I loved all their songs know the words. They looked so much alike they could be twins. I am grateful for the past times music and artists. Great times and memories. I would not trade for anything. Thank you again
Love the Everly brothers. My fav song is Wake Up Little Susie
I'm a big Everly Brothers fan! Cathy's Clown is my favorite, but I love all their music. Thank you for another wonderful trip down memory lane! 🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶
also one of my favorites. thanks, kat!
Rest in Eternal Peace Don and Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers. 🙏⚰😭
"That's Old Fashioned" was my favorite song by them as well as "Let it be Me"
The Everly Brothers had some great songs. Great video!
Phil was a lovely man and such a talented musician.
Ike was Phil and Don’s father. When the Everly’s broke up in 1973, they infamously did not speak to one another for about ten years. They only got together at their fathers funeral. Phil and Don’s mother Margaret turned 100, and is in great health considering her age.
Thanks for paying respects I am sure he is smiling up in heaven.
thanks for sharing that with us, sadie!
Memory Lane Trips With Steve My pleasure and thank you for sharing your journey to Phil’s resting place.
Another cool walk!! Always enjoy them..I really liked the Everly Brothers..stay safe. Love n hugs..
Thank you for this upload Steve, love this tour you are making. I see a very personal America through your eyes and camera. And I wanna thank the Everly brothers for their music, rip Phil.
My brother always played the records of Don & Phil. I became a fan also. They had so many songs it is difficult to just name one. On their CD EB 84 their voices had matured to even better blend and harmony.
Great vlog Steve. Rip Phil.
Denise Graves. Yeah, their harmonizing later on was unbelievable!
I agree, their 80´s material is awesome, I especialy love the album EB 84 from 1984.
The Everly Brothers were certainly a wonderful act and I'm not surprised that so many other acts were influenced by them. Freddie Mayes certainly seems like a really nice guy. The thing about road trips is not only the great places you go but the great people that you meet. Thanks again Steve.
so true. Freddie was great and lots of other people along the way have been too.
GREAT VIDEO I GREW UP WITH THEM STILL LISTEN TO THEM THEIR MUSIC LIVES ON HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY AND BE SAFE, CATHY'S CLOWN MY FAVORITE SAW THEM IN CONCERT HERE IN PITTSBURGH YEARS BACK. VERY NICE TOWN, VERY QUAINT. HEY I AM A SENIOR TOO I LOVE IT. I WILL BE GOING TO GATLENBURG THIS SEPT FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I HEAR IT IS GREAT THE COUNTRYSIDE IS BEAUTIFUL
wow, so lucky! and yes, another one of my favorites. thanks, harolyn!
I watched the video because I'm a fan of the Everly Bothers and then fell in love with the town. It's nice to know there are still places like that in America. Thank you for this video.
i know. i felt the same way. thanks for sharing, Tod!
My Favorites Are Walk Right Back And Crying In The Rain And Bird Dog
Okay,I have to admit that you have officially become my favorite You Tuber...I love your videos so much! The respect you show to everyone you post about, your genuine love and passion for what you do makes your uploads all the more unique and interesting. You and this man called Jerry Skinner are the absolute best....I am so glad I found you and your channel. 💕💕💕💕💕
wow, that's really nice of you to say, lo! i really appreciate it.
No trees is to prevent roots and their problems with the graves. Nice vlog.
A few shrubs wouldn't hurt.
Thank you for finding the grave. You do a great job!
I loved Phil and Don. Great music that will last forever. Thank you Steve for these wonderful memories.
All you have to do is dream. Love that song by them
I loved Dream Dream Dream.. Remember seeing them quite a bit on the Ed Sullivan Show..
I like “Wake up little Susie”. Maybe because I have a sister Susan. Thanks again for your wonderful Videos.
a great song and name!
I love "on the wings of a nightingale" but as you said all their songs are great. Their voices match so well! Thanks for visiting Phil!
I always love their songs.
Fascinating video, Steve ... how wonderful that this small town has dedicated a Museum to music and the Everlys ---- and the man with passion for the music interviewed. The motel looks super after being lied to about FREE breakfasts in other motels. Incredible trip. The motel and town should be offering you big bucks for putting it on the map.
My daddy loved The Everly Brothers and would sing wake up little Susie! So of course that’s my favorite. I want to thank you again for an awesome video! I’m so enjoying them. 👏🏼❤️
thanks for sharing, dee!
Interesting little town .😊 So glad you found the grave sights. Great job ,Great vlog 👍
Bye, Bye Love, and All I Have To Do Is Dream.
❤️😎❤️😎❤️😎❤️😎
As always, thank you.
Oh!!! Let It Be Me.
Heck, all their songs were fantastic!
lol, I know. hard to pick just one.
Thanks Steve, for showing the town. Museum looks very interesting. And yes, yes, yes southern states are hot and humid...take care and stay hydrated.
John Prine is a VERY WORTHY STORYTO DO!!!!!! He passed away without the recognition he deserved!!!! It's sad he won't get the coverage he deserves!!
One thing I cam talk to
They were my first favorite group. Wonderful harmony. Cathy's clown (?). My memory isn't what it used to be but I think that was the name of the song. Put an umbrella in the car that you can take with you for the sun. They have those big golf umbrellas that would come in handy. Thanks so much for the tour. Safe journey.
I have a favorite cousin named Cathy and every time I heard that song, back in the '60s, I thought of her. also one of my favorites. love the umbrella idea. thanks, ntotr!
What a delight, you always visit some great cemeteries. Such history.
Thanks Steve for another good program-I appreciate all the time to take to share your efforts and the information about these famous persons.
thanks, sue!
Thank You Steve , Safe travels . All the hard work you put into doing all these Great Vlogs is very much appreciated 🌹
You seem to enjoy so many of the musical artists that I do, Steve. Sounds of my teenage years and twenties. I prefer their slow songs too. The museum looks amazing. Wish I could visit these interesting places you discover. Most enjoyable video.
Enjoyed this video, Steve. I love the Everly Brothers' music even though I wasn't yet born when they became popular. My favorite song if theirs is Walk Right Back.
I loved this Vlog very much like the Everly Brothers music. The museum was really interesting. But the thing I found the most interesting, when you scanned the last shot of the cemetery there was a grave with the last name of Hunt on it. I’m pretty sure that is one of my Dad’s good friends from his army years
I had no idea that was in Central City. Stopped there on my way to and from Nashville lots of time. Thanks for the great video.
Steve keep up the good work your videos are the best.
Thanks Steve, that was a great video, and amazing museum also love little towns Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍🐨
Steve, i bet you didn't know during the EB career, they never performed one song in concert live that they recorded. The song was " Ebony Eyes" which was the B side of "Walk Right Back". The song is about death, specifically a plane crash that killed a girlfriend.
no, i didn't know that. thanks, ronald!
Thank you, thank you Steve-o for all of your hard work and dedication to the memory of so many people. I know this GPS issue must make you crazy. BUT!
You have thousands who appreciate your selfless effort.
Be happy, my friend!
thanks, steven.
Thanks for making these videos Steve, my Grandparents are buried in that cemetery about 100 yards from Phil's grave.
Thanks for sharing your grandparents memory with us Steven!
Thanks Steve and also for the hotel reviews during your road trip. Safe travels! We are enjoying the tour!
Awesome video Steve! I live a little over thirty miles from Central City. We went to the festival a couple of times back in the nineties. I wasn't an Everly Bros. fan until seeing them at the festival. To say that they were fantastic would be an understatement. I apologize for the horrible humidity you had to deal with. It doesn't normally get this humid this early in the summer but the times they are a changin'! Again,great video!
Thanks good tour Steve.👋👍😀
I love all of their songs 💕 to, every one of them
Looks like a awesome trip! Have fun, keep the videos coming! 😁, safe travels!
I remember them when I was 11 or twelve! Love them as they were so talented! Dream was my fav!
Absolutely loved the Everly brothers and still do .Most beautiful harmony . One of my favourite songs is Take a message to Mary and Ebony Eyes . Greetings from Australia.
thanks for watching from australia, mary!
When you die and are buried it seems you are soon forgotten. His grave seems like a lonely out of the way place. I was expecting a bigger memorial or at least some flowers around the stone. Seems that only after 7 years he is not remembered.
Thank you Steve for making this vlog!
Thank you Steve for this explore, much appreciated :)
Thank you Steve for sharing this video with us. I really enjoyed seeing the inside of the museum. Thanks for showing us around the area. Have a great evening.
My mom, dad and brother are buried not far from the Everly are. My mom spent her teen years growing up in Central
City Kentucky. We go to Central City every few years. We still have family there. Stayed at the motel 6 when we’re there for a family reunion. There’s a hotel across from this one that I have stayed at.
Thank You Steve you are doing a great Job on you road trip. I wish I could do what you are doing enjoy yourself and make lasting memories. Thanks again.
That was very cool Steve! I hope to visit that little town someday and visit that nice museum! Thank you!
it was worth the long trip and long detour. thanks bill. i'll be catching up on your vlogs when I get home. they look interesting, as always!
Steve, I remember how surprised I was when I discovered that the song 'Love Hurts' was originally by ''The Everly Brothers' and not 'Nazareth.'
lol, I know, I've noticed that that happens a lot with many songs. each generation only knows their version of many popular songs. thanks, jtx!
Thanks Steve for sharing The Everly Brothers history and Phil Everly's grave. My mom saw the Everly Brothers perform when they were younger.One of my many favorite songs is ,The Story Of Me,, from the record EB 84.
In the UK we love the Everly Brothers. Thank you for posting this interesting video
My dad loved them so much
Thank you for sharing, Steve. Thank you for your passion, your interest, your skill. We viewers gained an appreciation, increased our appreciation, along with you. What a pleasure to join you on this visit. You've captured the tiny cemetery, the museum, Central City so thoroughly, so beautifully. For me, an extended glimpse of the family plot is a touchstone; through your virtual visit I feel I've paid my respects to the music icons, and without spectacle, cost. imposition or offense to Don's next of kin, the Everly family By now I do hope Don is also there resting in peace beside the marked grave of his father whom he adored, so to his brother, Phil. Thank you for the service you provide, Steve, your contribution.
Oh the Everly brothers where great,loved all there music, that would be so great to visit the museum. I remember a song they used to sing when I was very young called Scarlett Ribbons so beautiful probably my favorite song of there's. As always another great video thank you Steve
I saw the Everly Brothers walking thru a casino hotel and wanted to meet them. My boyfriend at the time didn't want to be "embarrassed" so I didn't grab the opportunity. Wish I had now. Loved the Everly Brothers' music.
How neat!
I live in Hudson North Carolina a small little town. James Best lived in Hickory North Carolina which is about 18 miles away. I once saw him at a restaurant and I asked him if he was James Best he was so nice he invited my husband and I to sit and talk with him. He was in the Air Force as was my husband they both were stationed at Charleston Air Force Base in Charleston SC. James about 10 years before my husband. I couldn’t believe how nice he was. He even did his Roscoe laugh for us. He told us he was a cousin to the Everly brothers.
that's really nice to hear. thanks for sharing this with us, lois!
Also did you know that actor James Best from The Dukes of Hazzard was the Everly Brothers cousin
Freddie mentioned it, but I had to edit out so much or my video would have been an hour long :-) thanks for mentioning it here, though, danny!
How cool! Thanks for sharing!
My sister and I attended an Everly Brothers concert in Canada in 1991. We were in our mid twenties and we were by far the youngest people there.
lol, i'm sure it was awesome.
Thanks for another fine video Steve.
Cheers !
Memorial day weekend Steve.
Hard to choose an Everly Brothers song that’s my favorite but if I had to narrow it down I would think Cathy’s clown would definitely be up there.🎤
one of my favorites, too. thanks for sharing, maryann!
"When Will I Be Loved" 🎤🎧🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸!
Yup, Phil write that song about his first wife Jackie.
I like the song all I have to do is dream by
The everly brothers. I’m listening to them.
Thanks for the tour steve👍👋👩🦰
one of my favorites, too. thanks, lora!
Went to an Everly Brothers concert in about 1985 with my older sister and a friend. It was terrific. Afterwards we stopped in a pub for a drink and Phil Everly and one of his band members asked to join us. Don was in his room. He was quite heavy at that time. Phil was slender. We talked and they wanted to go out dancing. I was willing, but my sister was uncomfortable with it because of her husband and my crazy girlfriend said she had to go to work early. Later she asked, "why did I do that? It was a once in a lifetime opportunity". Oh well. I was sad when I knew the duo was no more. Favorite song, All I have to do is dream, crying in the rain and many more. I like the slow songs better as well. Remember the TV show? That had to be early 70's.
wow, what great timing and what a great moment. thanks for sharing this with us, cynthia! and i can't believe it, but i think i missed their summer tv show :-(
I'm from Liverpool England.I was brought up on there great music.l love them.rip lads all are love from Liverpool.God bless you.
I remember my father used to play their songs in a casette tape...I love the harmony in "Like Strangers"...great video as always.
Thanks Ferdinand 👍
This is one video I really have to see. I love Don & Phil. I will watch the video later today. Thanks Steve!!
You are lucky to have clear weather; albeit hot and humid. So. Cal. is cool and overcast with even a small amount of rain. As you probably know, the Everly Brothers held the record for Number One hits for a duo until Hall and Oates surpassed them. Your commentary and video presentation of the hotel rooms is very informative and greatly appreciated. Stay safe.
I didn't know that. kind of ironic. I loved the everly brothers and hall and oats are my least favorite group of all time :-) now that I know this, I like them even less :-) thanks, pc!
Thank you Steve, this is my hometown and still live here today! Wonderful memories
Thanks once again Steve for bringing this musical history our way, and sometimes you really have your worked cut out for you and we appreciate that which you do. Have a great week, Graceland is getting closer!
I visited graceland about a week ago. loved it. long story, but i'm not uploading these videos in order. i'll be uploading it soon, though. thanks, dan!
I did not know that, but looking forward-Cheers!
Loved hearing the brothers sing.
Their concerts were great. Thank you for sharing.
More favorites of mine, Steve, the Everlys. The cemetery looks much like some of the larger ones in my own state, although some have shade trees, and, of course, some do not. Good showl, your visiting Phil's resting place, though, and the center about them, and the others.
I actually got to see The Everly Brothers with, (believe it or not ) Simon and Garfunkel!!! They were the surprise guests on the “Old Friend’s “ tour in the very early 2000’s ! What a privilege!!!
i'm so jealous. love simon and garfunkel, too! that must have been awesome. thanks for sharing that, lm!
The oldest brother, Don will be 82 this year.
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. YOU HAVE A PEACEFUL
VOICE.
