All They Have To Do Is Dream

Phil, Bill Harlan, Tommy Payne, and Don c. 1949 in a band. From the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

This is not a photo you see often. It’s on Bill Harlan’s page on the Rockabilly Hall of Fame site. There is a photo, apparently from the same day, in Roger White’s biography of the Everly Brothers.

Phil almost looks too small too be able to play that bass, and based on the finger position, I’m hazarding a guess that he doesn’t. The photo in the White book shows him holding a guitar.

Like lots of pre-teens and teenagers for decades gone by, they can dream of the day that they will have their own band.
