Funnily enough, the venerable Dolly Parton played to a massive crowd at Glastonbury the other weekend and has become big news here almost overnight. She is all over the radio and news and I caught my daughter singing JOLENE the other day. She had no clue who Dolly was and I had to inform her that the old girl has been warbling for the last 100 years or so.....

My old man loved her and Tammy Wynette. Used to play their records loads when I was a youngster!!

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Dolly is very talented lady; singer, song-writer, actress, instrumentalist. AND, she's been married to the same guy for 48 years.

You'll enjoy this, MC. It's from a few weeks ago when Fallon took the show to Florida.

Several of us have enjoyed CW over several decades. I remember it growing up n Pittsburgh, songs such as Crazy by Patsy Kline (I'll never forget the Duz laundry soap commercials with Dolly and Porter). There are so many through those decades and I have to pay homage to the legends such as Hank Williams and Ray Price. But mostly, it's the 70s singers for me. During that decade Patsy Ann and I glided across the floor to Loretta Lynn and Ronnie Milsap ... Madonne! There are so many.

As I said above, I love a lot of these performers. I was running through some videos, though, and I'm pretty sure that if you put all the female country singers on the same stage in their primes and let them battle it out, Juice Newton would be the last girl standing:

Thanks PB. I love that guy. I saw him live way back around 1976 at the Westchester Theater in Tarrytown (its no longer there). He was the opening act for David Bromberg. We were saying, "who is this guy Jimmy Buffett (pronounced bu-fay). This was before Margaritaville was a hit. He was great...and the rest is history.

Swamp rock. It's rock music, infused with varying amounts of blues, folk and country. CCRis a northern California band that always sounded Southern. The Allman Brothers are another groupthat does Southern Rock, but might have more of a country influence than CCR.


The Allman brothers are a great band to see live and Happy Birthday!
