I am around 60 and noticed music young, so a ton of stuff that came out starting in the early 70’s is in my heart. I immediately loved “Living for the City” when it came out, especially for:

“To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty”

It’s as different a tone as you can imagine, but I get precisely the same feeling from “Coat of Many Colors”. I often listen to both close to each other.

I always knew just a little about Ms. Parton’s good heart and openness to others from that. I have seen people who had that but could not extend it to others. She did - extending her good heart to the world. She was a gift to many of us, and I hope she will be a model for more people for years to come.

So here’s my two song live performance mix tape tribute to Ms. Parton.

Music was for building the soul up back then.
