Speaker 1 (03:48):
That's our guest star of the week, our pretty girl
of the week, Miss Dolly Parton, was getting happy now, Dolly,
I'm trying to keep this story in some sort of
chronological order. We talked earlier about your leaving the porter
Wagoner show. You formed your own show, went out and
(04:10):
got yourself a band, and you didn't have to go
too far, did you?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I didn't. We call ourselves a traveling family band
for a good reason, because all the boys in my
band are my Ken folks, except my guitar man. He's
a Pennsylvania boy. His name is Bill Ririck. But my
brother Randy plays bass and fronts of show. My cousin
Dwight plays drums and sings harmony with me. Randy sings
(04:34):
harmony with me too. And the steel player is another cousin.
His name's Sidney Spiva. And we're all from East Tennessee
except Bill from Pennsylvania. Well, there's only four musicians right now.
But my uncle Luisans is my road manager. He travels
with me, and at first I had an uncle that
was driving my bus and so and my baby brother
(04:56):
travels with us. He works pictures. His name's Floyd.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Part okay, and all parts.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, Dwatt is named Pucket the drummer. His last name
is Pucket.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And Spiva there on your mama's side, Yeah, okay, your
mama Pucket. No, well, this is going to get very confused.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, well the drummer is my mama's sister's boy. Okay,
and she was married to a Pucket.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now, don't you ask me that I'm loving to get
mixed up.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
All right, I'll ask you this. So I'm just gonna
do a little arithmetic. You've got how many brothers and sisters?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There's twelve of us, all right, six girls and six
boys in their family.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
All right. Now, your daddy is one of how many thirteen?
He's one of thirteen. Your mama is one of how
many nine? So and your mama? Good night? Of the cousins,
you could have your mother and father together have nineteen
brothers and sisters. Do they all have big families?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, they all do. In fact, I got a set
of double not double, first cousins, first second cousins, my
daddy's Wait a minute, now, my daddy's brother married my
mama's aunt, which makes that that that bunch of kids
my first.

into something that would mix me up.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You know what I have to do after this show
is over, I'll have to sit down, and we're recording
this on tape. I'll have to sit down and play
the tape over and over to figure out what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I told you my daddy's brother married my mama's aunt,
which means that my my daddy's brother's kids are my
first second.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Why, rap, does everybody in your family have a lot
of kids?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No? I don't. We don't have that many kids in
our family. My brother, my brother's, two of my brothers
have wait a minute, rap, you get me on this family.

Why this cold source splits open.
Speaker 12 (10:26):
Camphophonique stops that pain. It lubricates and softens cold sores
and fever blisters to help prevent painful cracking. Gently penetrates
into an under sores to help them heal quickly. I'd
like that camphophonique for cold sores and fever blisters stops
pain fast and helps speed healing.

them all on the record.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Good Day, we wouldn't have had a kitchen big naughty
gets in it.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Bobby Bear and family was singing in the kitchen. I think,
by all right, you should introduce the next record.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Right, This is a song that I'm really proud of. Brath.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I wrote this.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, I wrote the songs called Kentucky Gambler. And Merle
Haggard heard the song because we've been working some show
dates with him and I was playing some of my
new songs and he liked the song and he asked
me to pick the guitar on his session. I did,
but I mean, you can't hear me picking on this,
but it was just a big honor for him to
ask me to do it. So I feel very close
(16:55):
to this record.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
When you were on this show, you may not remember this.
You were on this show two years ago. You sang
the song you and your guitar.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I remember when I said new songs, I mean songs
that I never had recorded before.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All right, shall we listen to Marl Haggard?
Speaker 9 (17:19):
I wanted more from life than four kids and a wife.
Went a job in a dark Kentucky mine, a twenty
acre farm, the shaggy house in barn. That's all I
had and all I left behind but a gambling I
(17:39):
was lucky, and so I left Kentucky and left behind
my woman and my kids into the gay casino and
Eva's town of Marino. This Kentucky gown, we're planning to
get rich quick, Kentucky gown.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You're a woman in Kentucky.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Yeah, And who's gonna be the one to give her
everything she needs? Kentucky gammer, ranger cheerman in Kentucky. Hey,
who's gonna keep them fit and keep them shoes on
their feet? They're at the gambler's paradise. Lady. Luck was
(18:23):
on my side, and this Kentucky gambler played just right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Heah.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
I wanted everything I played, really thought I had it made.
But I should have quit and gone on home that night.
But when you love cream back dollar, sorrows always found
the fall on Renald's dreams faded in the knee on
Amber and lady, look, she'll eat you'll, she'll stay a
(18:51):
wild and then she's gone. You better gone home, Kentucky Gambler.
But a gambler never seems to stop until he loses
all he's got. And with the money hungry fever I
played on, I played till I'd lost all at one,
and I was right back where I started from. Then
(19:12):
I started wanting to go home.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
And Tucky Gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
When I run out, somebody else walked in, and Tucky
Gambler looks like you re big. And it seems to
me a gambler loses much more than he wins, much
more than he wins.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's Merle Haggard with Dolly Parton's tune Kentucky Gambler.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Together, time, time to spend, enjoy line, get up, then
you get together. Well, the good times are.
Speaker 11 (20:05):
Again together with you, together with friends cover.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
The next time you're dining out, get together.
Speaker 13 (20:16):

got yourself a band, and you didn't have to go
too far, did you?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I didn't. We call ourselves a traveling family band
for a good reason, because all the boys in my
band are my Ken folks, except my guitar man. He's
a Pennsylvania boy. His name is Bill Ririck. But my
brother Randy plays bass and fronts of show. My cousin
Dwight plays drums and sings harmony with me. Randy sings
(04:34):
harmony with me too. And the steel player is another cousin.
His name's Sidney Spiva. And we're all from East Tennessee
except Bill from Pennsylvania. Well, there's only four musicians right now.
But my uncle Luisans is my road manager. He travels
with me, and at first I had an uncle that
was driving my bus and so and my baby brother

and she was married to a Pucket.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:25):

Why this cold source splits open.

Camphophonique stops that pain. It lubricates and softens cold sores
and fever blisters to help prevent painful cracking. Gently penetrates
into an under sores to help them heal quickly. I'd
like that camphophonique for cold sores and fever blisters stops
pain fast and helps speed healing.

them all on the record.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Good Day, we wouldn't have had a kitchen big naughty
gets in it.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Bobby Bear and family was singing in the kitchen. I think,
by all right, you should introduce the next record.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Right, This is a song that I'm really proud of. Brath.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I wrote this.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, I wrote the songs called Kentucky Gambler. And Merle
Haggard heard the song because we've been working some show
dates with him and I was playing some of my
new songs and he liked the song and he asked
me to pick the guitar on his session. I did,
but I mean, you can't hear me picking on this,
but it was just a big honor for him to
ask me to do it. So I feel very close
(16:55):
to this record.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
When you were on this show, you may not remember this.
You were on this show two years ago. You sang
the song you and your guitar.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I remember when I said new songs, I mean songs
that I never had recorded before.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
All right, shall we listen to Marl Haggard?
Speaker 9 (17:19):
I wanted more from life than four kids and a wife.
Went a job in a dark Kentucky mine, a twenty
acre farm, the shaggy house in barn. That's all I
had and all I left behind but a gambling I
(17:39):
was lucky, and so I left Kentucky and left behind
my woman and my kids into the gay casino and
Eva's town of Marino. This Kentucky gown, we're planning to
get rich quick, Kentucky gown.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You're a woman in Kentucky.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Yeah, And who's gonna be the one to give her
everything she needs? Kentucky gammer, ranger cheerman in Kentucky. Hey,
who's gonna keep them fit and keep them shoes on
their feet? They're at the gambler's paradise. Lady. Luck was
(18:23):
on my side, and this Kentucky gambler played just right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Heah.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
I wanted everything I played, really thought I had it made.
But I should have quit and gone on home that night.
But when you love cream back dollar, sorrows always found
the fall on Renald's dreams faded in the knee on
Amber and lady, look, she'll eat you'll, she'll stay a
(18:51):
wild and then she's gone. You better gone home, Kentucky Gambler.
But a gambler never seems to stop until he loses
all he's got. And with the money hungry fever I
played on, I played till I'd lost all at one,
and I was right back where I started from. Then
(19:12):
I started wanting to go home.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
And Tucky Gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in Kentucky.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
When I run out, somebody else walked in, and Tucky
Gambler looks like you re big. And it seems to
me a gambler loses much more than he wins, much
more than he wins.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's Merle Haggard with Dolly Parton's tune Kentucky Gambler.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Together, time, time to spend, enjoy line, get up, then
you get together. Well, the good times are.
