And Dolly is very smart. She never gave up any if the rights to her songs. That's why she now has the money to dole out for her "Imagination Library" (free books for children). And you want to talk about humble beginnings?

Oddly enough, it was my Ukrainian grandparents who fostered my love of old style country and western music. We used to watch "Hee-Haw" together and laugh our fool heads off. Nobody can pick a banjo like Roy Clark. And we loved those old Andy Griffith episodes where Andy would invite the mountain folk over for a kick-ass jam.

Oh sorry. This was about WillIE. Helluva songwriter :-)
