“I'm from Tennessee originally and I lived in New York for the better part of my 20s. When I lived New York, Dolly was my connection to home. Right about the time that I was in New York, too is kind of where I want to say Dolly got her second wave and I was just so proud to claim her. When I would be homesick I would just sing at the top of my lungs in my Tennessee Mountain Home and so she's just been home for me.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Katie Sturdivant, Dolly Parton fan:
“She means a lot to Tennessee, but just in general, it's funny when they were playing all the songs on my way home. I knew every word and it's just my life. I'm 55 and grew up listening to her from then until now. We did the Imagination Library for my kids. And I mean, it's such a gift and she's hilarious too. You know, would always have a comeback. I don’t know if you saw the of course black… I appreciated her sense of humor. I don't know, she's just a legend.”
