Ms. Dolly Parton
was my first kiss:
-------------------------------
So, I like to tell this story, in the past, under a different, humorous angle, and I am not making
her passing about me, but it's worth sharing:; So, the summer before '9-to-5'came out, 1980,Dolly was at Six Flags Mid-America, performing outdoors, I 9 I think. She came off-stage, saw shy boy me w/my mom, 3rd row, and playing the part of the PG temptress playing to the moment, and planted a big kiss on my cheek. The crowd roared, a guy admirably slapped me on my back, and she did it again, then went back on stage, pointed out red-faced me, and asked the audience to applaud for her "boyfriend".
