Kenny D. and David R. -- for those of us who have not heard the joke, we would be much obliged if you would be so kind as to provide us with the punch line  |

Actually, Dolly's version of 'Mule Skinner Blues' (aka 'Blue Yodel # [somethin-or-other]') is one of the best versions I've ever heard. |

Dolly fired me after I had worked for her for three or four months...and I STILL think she is one of the best singers and writers ever!Her first few albums on RCA are really great...I didn't care for the more pop-style stuff,but I understand why she did it... |

Put Dolly Parton on stage with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone and she will mezmorize an audience with her stories and music (she's obviously a beautiful woman also). Shania Twain? I don't think so. Not even in the same ball park as far as real country music is concerned. Dolly IS country. Cage match? hmmmmmm....

Steve, Sounds like there might be an interesting story behind Dolly firing you. Care to relate it? RB |

Sure,RB...that gig involved playing steel,electric,acoustic,and dobro...if you were the steel player!Playing acoustic guitar has never been my strong point,and I was required to play unaccompanied acoustic guitar (Merle Travis style)while Dolly talked before singing "Applejack"...this often went on for quite a while...I sounded like a broken washing machine on this particular point of the show-I think I did OK on the other instruments,but the acoustic duty was definitely the most important for that chair.Being young and impetuous,I thought I could handle it-I was wrong...that was 15 years ago!I wouldn't even attempt it now...anyway,that's what happened,as far as I could tell...that's my story,and I'm sticking to it...

Steve -- sounds like it wasn't all "milk" and honey  But, at least you "milked" the situation for all it was worth And, sounds like you're not crying over spilt "milk" (if there was any). |

As I previously said, if Dolly Parton married Salvador Dali, she'd be Dolly Dali. Well if afterwards she opened up a delicatesson that was open every day, it would be the Dolly Dali Daily Deli. ------------------ |

Of course, her delivery pickup truck would be the Dolly Dali's Daily Delhi Deli dually. And her table place mats would be a Dolly Dali's Daily Delhi Deli doily. And her... oh, never mind. ------------------ |

Ok, after all these years, I am going to confess: I bought Dolly a pair of hose once AT HER REQUEST! The circumstances were this: We were a warm up band at a street festival in Newport, TN right after she had her first hit song. She was the "local girl makes good". She had a pick-up band playing for her right after we did the warm up. They were all busy doing some last minute rehearsal in an abandoned store that was being used as a back stage. The stage was an 18 wheeler, flat bed truck. She got a run in her hose and looked at me and asked me if I would mind going up to the drugstore to see if they had the size and color of hose she needed. Off I went, got the hose, then returned them to her. I never got to see her put them on, though, darn it. That is my claim to fame concerning Dolly Parton. Shortly after that, she moved to Nashville, joined Porter Waggoner, and the rest is history. I wish now I had asked for the old hose. Would probably bring a small fortune on eBay! |

Of course, you might dully note, that which others have indeed duly noted, i.e., that she uses Dolly Dali's Daily Delhi Deli doilies. |

Dollywood was featured on the Travel Channel a few nights ago. Did I hear right, she has two thousand employees? This thing draws 1.2 million guests a year and is growing. I had no idea this thing was that big. At two thousand employees, what kind of payroll would that be? |

Tom Olson...if you ever meet Dolly's husband, ask him how he got those stretch marks around his mouth.  ------------------ |

Ya know I hate to encourage bad behavior... I did see the Travel Channel special the other day, and Dollywood is quite a place indeed. If I worked there the name of the place would be much more appropriate. And Yes, it is "Comb", and it would be for lice. "I set out to look for you for days un-numbered, with a pair tweezers and some A 200.." I noticed a couple of things about "Dollywood". It was just kind of subtle in the "training college". A strange trance-like friendliness. I get the idea that there is not much room there for "people like me"... I did kind of like Dolly's outfit on the special. It had a couple visual "temperature sensors" built in. How clever. I wonder where "The Dungeon" is in Dollywood. I always wonder that wherever I am... EJL |
