By popular demand, I'm trotting out British singer-songwriter Bryan Ferry's stirring, downright hair-raising rendition of the Everly Brothers' song "The Price of Love" to spark your synapses and shake your complacency on what might otherwise be a sedate Sunday.Actually, the demand was more of a request from estimable MOGger ivylander who recently laid down a noteworthy post on Don and Phil Ever...
