THE BIG BEAT Continued from page 66 We Dare Any Other Eye Make-up to Make This Swim Test! guitars slung over their shoulders. The girls surrounded them, waving their blue souvenir programs and ballpoint pens. Don and Phil grinned and obliged with autographs. Both boys were wearing blue blazers edged with cool white piping, striped ties and neat-fitting Oxford grey pants. “Darn,” lamented Sue, “I wish I had my Brownie camera with me.” Don, 21, the older of the Everly Brothers, chuckled. “I bet backstage looks weird to you, but to Phil and me it’s practically home. It has been ever since I was eight and he was six and we started touring with our folks.” “Gee, you fellows dress so great,” Kathy was saying to Phil, who’s 19, “my steady dresses like a mess! How do I get him to dress like you?” “You can lead a horse to water, as we used to say in Kentucky,” Phil answered in his quick way of speaking, “but you can’t make him drink.” Don’s usually the quieter of the two, but today he was feeling talkative. “Only one way,” Don offered. “Power of suggestion. It usually works. Make your guy think it’s his idea instead of telling him he doesn’t know what he’s doing. That’s the way my wife wins me over every time.” Debbie sighed, “Gee, I could stand here all day listening to you.” “Later on,” Phil said, “we’re going to have a backstage jam session. Why don’t you all come?” “Who, us?” the three girls cried out. “Yeah. You might get a kick out of it. Right now, I’m hungry,” Phil continued. “I’m going to the cafeteria across the street. How about you, Don?” Don nodded. “Phil’s the big eater but I wouldn’t mind a good piece of steak and some French fried potatoes myself.” “Maybe apple pie a la mode for dessert,” Phil added. For a moment, the three girls seemed rooted there, only their eyes moved to i follow Phil and Don. Debbie came out of the daze first. She spotted Jimmy Clanton, in a pebble-grey silk suit, picking out notes on a battered upright piano in a corner. “Girls!” Debbie commanded, and Kathy and Sue rallied to Jimmy’s side. “Autographs, please,” Sue asked. Jimmy looked startled. “Gee,” he said. “You kids are even backstage. This is the greatest turnout I’ve ever seen anywhere for the Big Beat.” Tall, chubby-faced and with bright dark eyes, eighteen-year-old Jimmy Clanton spoke with a soothing Louisiana drawl. He ran his fingers over his long brownish hair, glinting with gold from the glittery backstage lights. “Where d’you ever get that haircut, Jimmy.'”' Sue questioned in a timid voice. “We all flipped!” “Funny you ask,” Jimmy said, shaking his head from side to side, “because, you know, a bunch of barbers have called me up about it. Lots of guys seem to want the same trim. Some of the Brooklyn barbers even came out here for a close-up inspection. The haircut’s called a Balboa, only my girlfriend used to call it The Waterfall. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because the front part falls over like Niagara. What do you think?” “Oh, Jimmy,” Kathy interrupted with a long sigh, “we’re just crazy about your haircut, and gosh, we’re crazy for your song, ‘Just a Dream.’ Did you really write it yourself?” “Sure did,” Jimmy said. “I wrote it when I was suffering from a broken heart. My girlfriend and I stopped going together, PERMANENT DARKENER FOR LASHES AND BROWS You can swim, walk in the rain, weep at the movies, and keep that “bornbeautiful” look, witlt“Dark-Eyes” . . . avoids looking “featureless” at the beach.
