This followed their 1957 hit “Wake Up Little Susie.” The songs were written by the prolific duo of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The legendary Chet Atkins played the guitar for The Everly Brothers on both singles. The Everly Brothers were known as an American rock duo and as pioneers of country rock.

August is hydrant flushing month here in the Village. Beginning August 8, 2022, we will be performing our routine hydrant flushing.
During this process there may be a slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains. Households experiencing this should not be alarmed. The water will clear up once it is run for a short time.
Should you experience rusty colored water, we suggest you run the cold water from the faucet nearest to the water meter to flush the service.

Celtic legend Bill Russell is arguably the most valuable player ever in NBA history, and perhaps even in all of team sports.
He died Sunday at age 88 following the deaths of Celtic legend teammates Tom Heinsohn, John Havlicek and Sam Jones in recent years. Only the almost 94 year old Bob Cousy has outlived them all.
