The Muhlenburg County Music Museum was open when I returned and tourism director Dr. Freddie Mayes was ready for visitors. There are quite a few musicians other than the Everlys represented here. They include Merle Travis, Warren Oats, and Mose Rager. Even John Prine has a section. He isn't from here but he sure put Muhlenburg County on the musical map. A collection of almost every Everly Brothers record ever made was willed to the museum by lady in California. Just watching the 1953 AMI jukebox put a 45 on the turntable is a real treat. Of course, so is listening to it. I was talking with Dr. Mayes when I punched up "Cathy's Clown" from 1960 and remarked that someday I intended to find out who the drummer was on that recording. Before I left, Mayes had located a write-up on the recording session which included the identity of the drummer. I have always been fascinated by the song's drum part which was unlike anything I had heard at the time. I was not alone, of course. Others were fascinated as well and that creative drum pattern certainly contributed to the song's success. Buddy Harmon was the answer to my fifty-six year old question.

Phil Everly is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery at the north edge of town. His guitar playing father, Ike, is next to him. Margaret, his mother lives on at ninety-six.
