2. Dolly parton- Blue valley song bird
Blast you! Looky what ya done now :cry::cry:

;)
_______________________

http://youtube.com/watch?v=72h_AAiEa4g

She was born in a place called Blue Valley
At the foot of the Tennessee hills
With the blue birds and blue bells
And blue mountain water
And the sound of the Blue Whippoorwill
But there was no peace in the valley
Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man
Used and abused her mind and her body
So her mama said run while you can
So at fifteen she took to the highway
Belongings and guitar in hand
And she buried herself in her music
The one thing she did understand
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
Her voice has that high, lonesome sound
She hurts, and her songs are the best way to show it
So the Blue Valley songbird keeps traveling around
She hopes someday she will make it
And everyone says that she will
When she comes to town, crowds flock around
To see the girl from the Tennessee hills
She writes her letter back home to her mama
In care of the preacher in town
They're sacred to her so she reads them at church
And so her daddy cannot track her down

And she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby
Whenever she turns off the lights
She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy
From mem'ries and miseries and dreams gone awry

Blue dress, blue shoes, a blue Cadillac
A band dressed in blue by her side
Instruments tied to the top and the back
'Cause the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight

One nighters, honky tonks, years flying by
She never made it, but Lord knows she tries
Expressing the feelings she holds inside
And the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight
Oh the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight

And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet

7. I want the Soundtrack to that movie she starred in
One of my favorite songs in the world was in it, sung by Iris Dement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ArylRGWME

There is also a song I cannot remember in it that is about a love triangle where in the end one makes a fiddle out of one of the other's bones. Wish I could find it.

Have you ever seen the movie, Songcatcher? A must see.

:)

8. I've seen parts of the movie,
but not the whole thing. I loved the music I heard, though; and bought the soundtrack. http://www.amazon.com/Songcatcher-Music-Inspired-Motion-Picture/dp/B00005B50H

I also bought Songcatcher 2, which really has nothing to do with the movie; but I just love Doc Watson. :D

We were supposed to see Dolly in concert next month for the first time. Unforch, she had to postpone. When I first heard the news yesterday, I thought the tour was canceled and was heartbroken. I could go on about what Dolly means to me and mine, but that's a different day and a different post.

11. My sister was floored when we told her we were seeing Dolly in concert.

She just doesn't get her, like most people.

She does sing from her heart and her lyrics can hit home.

A month after 9/11 we caught her on Austin City Limits. She made us cry so much if I believed in angels I'd swear we were watching her on TV. And her humor is priceless.

10. I always liked that one too...
though my favorites are the ones where she's singing with just a guitar or a small bluegrass ensemble. Her voice has so much subtle beauty that gets lost in a band.
