I must admit to not understanding most of their lyrics during the 1960s, but valued their harmony, especially, Words, I started a joke, First of May, MA, etc., but lost interest after they adapted to an international audience, but will never forget their, "Its only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away" Aloha!

Those 'words' were quite the lyrics, weren't they? Thanks for the reminder, Rico. Season's best!

LOVE IT Gershon especially as the Gibb Brothers were born on our little Isle of Man, in fact up until his death Robin still had a property over here. They are a national treasure and their music lives on - if you hear the track Ellan Vannin its all about the IOM:-) hugs Jan xx

Yes, yes! You may recall that you mentioned Ellan Vannin to me before, and I've checked it out. Wonderful. Thanks for weighing in on this one, Jan! :) gw

This was great! I do miss them, as other folk do. They were a very unique group with an even more unique sound that could blow any music lover away. Well penned.

You're so right. I play 'Stayin' Alive' to classes of international students from time to time , and they are blown away too. And these are hip 22 - 32 year olds from around the globe. ~ gw
