| | Stella Parton is AWESOME!!! Alot of people know her as Dolly Parton's little sister, who just also happens to be a singer, but she is more than that. She is nice.
Most people already know about this, but oh well, who cares, I'm telling this story again.
At Dukesfest (the totally awesome celebration of the totally awesome show The Dukes Of Hazzard) I was standing in line to meet Catherine Bach (the totally rockin Daisy Duke!), when I heard singing, the song was I Wanna Hold You In My Dreams Tonight, a song by Stella Parton. It didnt sound like the radio, it was too loud, but at the same time I wasnt sure. So my mom held my place, while I went out. I ran to the stage, and saw Stella, and ran back, yelling "Its her, its her its really her!" I grabbed my autograph book and a pen, and ran back out to the stage and stood in front watching. She started talking about a song that was a HUGE hit for her in the 70's, and started in on Danger Of A Stranger (I have got to find the ringtone for that). I started singing along, and by the time she was done, she was smiling right at me because she saw me singing along.
Then I walked up to the stage and asked for her autograph, and she said "After this medly" So I stepped back, and she got a guy, who I think is her husband, up on the stage and sang "I'm Not That Good At Goodbye" and once again I was singing along, and once again, she saw me. I ama huge fan of her music. So this time, she started up one of my favorites, Standard Lie Number One. She saw me singing and waved me up. I thought she was gonna sign my autograph book, but instead, she sat me down on the staged and crouched beside me, and held the mike between us, and I was singing with Stella Parton!!! It was awesome!!! So we got done, and she asked me my name, and I told her "Michelle". A few minutes later, my mom comes rushing out of the line, and I start to go up to Stella to ask if I can have my picture taken with her, and she says "Come on up here Michelle, lets get that book of yours signed" So I got my book signed, and my picture with her, and I got to sing with her!!! It was amazing, just so totally awesome!
She asked me a little later if I wanted to sing the next song with her, but I didnt know it, so I couldnt, and I had to get my spot in Catherine Bach's line again.
Anyway, she was really cool and really awesome, and I recommend anyone who gets the chance to see her to GO! She is really cool, and you'll be passing up a huge opportunity not seeing her. She is just as good a singer as her sister, and they both have their own unique styles, and I have about 15-18 songs of hers on my computer, and anyone that wants them just email me!!!! |
