Thread Name: In appreciation of Dolly Parton
Subject: RE: In appreciation of Dolly Parton
In DWR's post there was mention of Dolly's concert at the Sevierville High School in 1970. I was a woodcarver at Silver Dollar City, Tennessee (which became Dollywood) a year or two later) in the mid-seventies and was in the sixth or seventh row at the High School for one of those benefit concerts. Dolly had the whole band on stage and put on one heck of a show. I don't know how long those benefits continued but it was not a one shot deal. One thing that amazed me was how Dolly played guitar with two inch fingernails.
