Music That's Good For Your Health?
Fans often remark about the pleasant memories and nostalgia the Precisions evoke with their special
brand of vintage rock music. But, did you know that nostalgia, like listening to music from your past, is
good you?
Nostalgia can ward off loneliness and anxiety. Though often triggered by isolation and life changes, it
offers relief by bringing to mind "cherished experiences that assure us we are valued people who
have meaningful lives," says psychologist Clay Routledge of North Dakota State University. Such
reminiscences are remarkably similar across cultures, centering on being with friends at weddings,
holidays or other special moments. The ability to call up a fond memory to maintain physiological
comfort may even be an evolutionary adaption.

Phil Everly - We Will Miss You
There are few classic rock artists who have not in some way been influenced by the Everly Brothers.
The Precisions, with their emphasis on tight, warm harmony are decidedly among those artists, and
are saddened by the death of Phil Everly (below left), who with his older brother Don, carried the close
traditional harmonies of country into rock 'n roll.
With songs like "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bye Bye Love," "Cathy's Clown,"All I Have to Do Is Dream"
and "When Will I Be Loved?", the Everly Brothers were consistent hit makers in the 1950's and early
1960's. They won over country, pop and even R&B listeners with a combination of clean-cut vocals
and a rock ability strum and twang of their guitars.
They were also the models for the next generation of rock vocal harmonies for the Beatles, Linda
Rondstadt, Simon and Garfunkel and many others who recorded their songs and tried to emulate their
precise, ringing vocal alchemy. The Everly Brothers were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in its first year, 1986.
"I always thought I'd be the first one to go," Don Everly wrote in a statement. "The world might be
mourning an Everly Brother, but I'm mourning my brother Phil."
Don, the Precisions also mourn the loss of a brother . . . Thank you Phil, and Don for making the
world of music a better place for all generations.
