I must confess that I don't know many of Ms. Parton's songs, only the usual "9 to 5" and "Islands in the Stream". However, while looking for something to watch last night, I stumbled upon "Dolly Parton: Live from London" on BBC Four.
I'm not ashamed to say that I watched the whole 80 minute concert, I actually quite enjoyed it. Some songs were better than others, and I particularly enjoyed the acapella version of "Do I cross your mind" by Ms. Parton and her band. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the show, an example of "Dollymania". Arguably, the best song of the night was "I will always love you", which was actually better than the Whitney Houston version, which, quite frankly, I feel ruined the beauty of the original recording.
I definitely think I'll be watching more of Ms. Parton's recordings, and I think I may buy a few of her albums.
I like puns. That's what she said.
