Hi, Violet. Hi Ryan. HI. Hi. OK, so, I talked to you backstage. You're five years old, and we didn't really talk about why you love Dolly Parton so much. What is it about Dolly Parton? Because she has a beautiful voice and she gives books to kids in need. Yeah, that's really call that she does that. So she started because Dolly sends these books out, right? Yeah, Dolly's Imagination Library. It's her philanthropic program. I believe you have to qualify if you live in a school district that's like, a lower income school districts or, I'm not sure exactly what the qualifier is. But they send you a free book every month. Some of Violet's favorite books have come from Dolly. And there's a little photograph of Dolly Parton on the back page of every book that she sends. And Violet's whole life, we've talked about, this is a book from Dolly. Dolly sent you this book. And so she sort of just took an interest to her. And I'm a musician and so I started playing some Dolly Parton songs for Violet, and she's just sort of fallen in love with her, so. Dolly's a lovable person. She really is, I think everybody loves Dolly Parton. What do you know about Dolly's life, Violet? That she, her mama made a coat for her. A coat of many colors for her. Yes. And she wore it to school and all the kids laughed at her. And then Dolly Parton told her friends, but her friends couldn't understand it. Right. Well, sometimes the friends don't understand it and yet Dolly was right, right? Yeah. She helped fund Moderna with the COVID-19 vaccine, that's pretty cool right? Did you learn about that? Did you know that? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. OK. And you're singing Jolene today, what is that song about? Tell me what Jolene is about. Jolene is about a girl named Jolene and she wanted to take Dolly's man. Yeah, she tried to take Dolly's man. That's right. All right, well, do you want to perform now? Mhm. I can't wait. OK. Thanks, Violet. [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC - DOLLY PARTON, "JOLENE"] Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I'm begging of you, please don't take my man. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Please don't take him just because you can. Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair, with ivory skin, and eyes of emerald green. Your smile is like a breathe of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain, and I cannot compete with you, Jolene. He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep from crying, when he calls your name, Jolene. And I can easily understand how you could easily take my man, but you don't know what he means to me, Jolene. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I'm begging of you, please don't take my man. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Please don't take him just because you can. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] All right, we have something for Violet when we come back. We'll be back. So that was really good. I love that song and I love you singing that song. So, you love Dolly Parton. Do you know about Dollywood? Have you heard about Dollywood? Mhm. Yeah. Have you been there? No. No? Well, you know what's going to happen now is our friends at Shutterfly, because they really love celebrating this moment with you, they want to send you and your family on an all expenses paid vacation to Dollywood in Tennessee. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
