INTERESTING PIECE OF TRIVIA ON 'YOU NEVER KNOW'

"Here's an interesting piece of trivia for all of Darryl's fans that might also be fans of the country group SHENANDOAH.



The song 'You Never Know' was written about Shenandoah's bass player Ralph Ezell who had just died 4 days earlier. Shenandoah drummer, Mike McGuire is one of the writers of this song.



Ralph flew to South Dakota to play a gig at a casino with another band and died while there in his hotel room. Saddened after hearing the news, Mike and co-writers Billy Ryan and Jimmy Yeary wrote 'You Never Know' as a tribute to their fallen friend and brother. So when the song starts out with "He kissed his wife at gate number five, headed on another red-eye flight", that was the inspiration.



For anyone that has lost a loved one, whether it be a sister, a brother, a father or a mother, or even just a friend, this song will for sure pull at your heart strings. Hold your bic lighters up high!!"

Absolutely worth adding to any collection

"From the opening strains of "Honky Tonk Life" this is a good time cd with some fun stuff, some serious stuff and the laugh out loud good time of "Don't Show Up". There's the romantic laid back "Tequila On Ice", the perceptive "Slow Dancin' With a Memory" and the powerful closing song "You Never Know." From start to finish, good writing, good delivery and a celebration befitting the title - indeed it "Sounds Like Life." Whether kicking back in the evening or listening in the car - worth buying!"
