OMGOODNESS!!! I'VE grown up with all of you 🙏 I'M still alive! Irma, Allen and Dolly been there and still love you. Irma, from Biloxi. Been thru Katrina and I saved My picture of you from the Jazz Fest and I saved it! Ms. Parton, I would not leave my very cold behind sitting on a freezing stadium bleacher. God told me to listen to you sing A Coat of Many Colors. Again, I was blessed. D'Iberille MS. I didn't leave you. I honor all of you 🙏. Listen to God. And I do. Thank you all for your talents and I'm so Blessed to have been there 💛🙏💓

I have lived the the French quarter for three decades and I never knew this cosmic collision of talent occurred. Now dont get me wrong, Dolly is my imaginary God Mother and my Gaurdian Movie Star but when Irma snatched that mic she blew it out the park. Wow. Beyond OG Legends.

LOL am sure he wasn't being disrespectful by spelling his name wrong lmao

[@mikeklein7931]

Disrespect is intentional. If someone thinks you accidentally disrespected them.then they need to get a grip

[@colt49ers97]
