The Everly Brothers-Who Knew?!

We went to a very nice wedding in a beautiful location this weekend, the Country Club Inn in Rangeley, Maine.  My partner's coworker got married (Third times the charm, fingers crossed. Six times if you add in the bride's previous marriages as well).

They had the band Aztec Two Step perform a private, intimate concert for us.  I had heard of the group before but never "heard" them.  They did a rendition of The Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me".  I was near sobbing about halfway into the first stanza.  I am still perplexed as to why.  I was just overcome with this pang of nostalgia...my folks, simpler times, true love and devotion. The sky was awash with the setting sun, we were all in this great Maine lodge, the ceremony had been simple, but honest, and the location was, in a word- stunning.

Oh, yeah...it had been open bar for about three hours.
