Dolly Parton in Paídi Ó Sé's Pub

I use to teach reading to children and adults in a part of Appalachia that was(is) desperately poor, as part of a volunteer teaching program . Several times during my time there, we received boxes of books from Dolly Parton. How she found out about us, I'll never know. She is an amazing person.

[@Gressil_Dawn_of_Ur_Mom]

Whereabouts?

[@zaplocked]

​@@psn64sat63 This was discussed last year on twitter pretty extensively from folk who actually worked the program - most non profits who participate in her program have to pay for the books - her program is basically the same as a book of the month club where her org is negotiating bulk book printing deals with manufacturers. Her organization is not literally buying these books and sending them to the end user, there is a multitude of in between non profits that are picking up the slack (and the bill) to sign up people and deliver these. The existence of this program has in fact been used to justify States' lack of funding into their own literacy programs.

We are more than proud of her, I’m East Tennesseean, she’s our HERO! That’s why we started a petition to remove Nathan Bedford Forrest’s statues and have them replaced with Dolly statues. She wouldn’t have it, though, wanted money to be spent where it mattered.

Congrats to Steve Cooney for being a perfect accompanist. Dolly was once asked if she was offended by dumb blond jokes. She said she wasn't because she knew she wasn't dumb and she knew she wasn't blond.

Such a sweetheart to sing for her fans even while she's on vacation! She genuinely cares about her fans and she's got such a big, wonderful heart and personality! Love this lady to pieces! (=

@Angry Shamrock It hasn't been proven. What are you on about? I dont' even like Biden and what you're saying is rubbish.

[@christianpatriot125]

Angry Shamrock I’m afraid that most people live in their own bubble and are being told ad nausium that there is no evidence to say that. There are none so blind as those who will not see. We have the same problem with the virus. If people don’t hear the truth from their trusted media they will believe the lie they do.

[@christianpatriot125]

Gallowglass It’s been proven to Angry Shamrock. Since no court has examined the evidence you can’t say he’s wrong. I believe fraud is inevitable when you use machine counting. You have to have clear and obvious oversight or human nature will inevitably lead to fraud. Especially when the choice is a binary one. Anyway, would you agree that Dolly should have that shirt framed and hanging next to her platinum records in Dollywood. She has the captain’s shirt of an 8 time World Football Champion. Correction 9 time champion. He won the All-Ireland as a coach too.

[@royroyston8480]

Dolly is fabulous and the guitar player is great. Paidí O’Sé deserves huge credit for making this happen though. It’s incredible when you think about it. One of the world’s great country singers (probably the greatest) and he convinced her to come to a tiny pub in Dún Chaoin. You were some man Paidí. Greatly missed.

[@christianpatriot125]

Roy Royston you’re forgetting that he was one of the world’s greatest footballers. It was her honour as much as his

[@johnjames6620]

When you have enormous talent, you don't need lighting, dancing and gimmicks. There are people that have better voices than Dolly, but not too many that sing better than her. She conveys humility, pathos, caring and so many virtues in her utterances. An infectious laugh. I demeanor that makes people around her feel good and special. And humility personified.

[@Fireglo]

If you're singing in a pub of course you don't need lighting and dancing. If you're putting on a massive show you kinda do.

[@jamesdolan4042]

I am from Ireland, but don't live there now. As a former Gaelic football player It was not lost on me the really great gift that Paudi O Se generously gave to Dolly Parton. He wore that jersey with pride in 1995, and it would have been of enormous sentimental and emotional value to him. It's value has much more significance in my opinion than Dolly singing Coat of many Colors. Don't get me wrong I love the hugely talented Dolly. To Paudi, rest in peace.

[@christianpatriot125]

James Dolan More valuable than Tom Brady’s Super Bowl MVP shirt!

[@jamesdolan4042]

@@christianpatriot125 Since the GAA are an amateur organisation the monetary value of Paudi O'Se's shirt is not a consideration here. However, the sentimental value of the shirt, I am certain for Paudi was beyond priceless, and all the more so because he was a native Irish speaker and captained the Kerry team that year. Having watched the Patriots all these years when Tom Brady was quarterback I would definitely say a Super Bowl, MVP shirt worn by him would have a priceless sentimental value. In this instance I would have no clue as to it's monetary value, that is if a monetary value should be attached to these things..

Such a pure mountain voice, you can hear it in every note she sings, and I'm sure all the Irish folks there that night heard their ancestors' influence in that music as well, their( and the Scot's) cousins across the pond created country music with the instruments they brought with them, it was about ALL they brought. They built cabins and stills in those mountains, the Germans and English came and set up breweries, and to this day, Americans drink WAY more hard liquor and beer than wine, it's not even close. Fun fact.
