Tennessee until I come to Nashville. But I had an
uncle stationed in the Air Force in Lake Charles, Louisiana,
and there was a little recording studio across the street
from where he lived, and he found out about it
and sent some money from me and my grandma to
come up there and make a record, and that's how
it comes about.

You know what, Dolly, we never did talk about Dolly
(20:09):
Parton's weaknesses. I didn't think we was going to what
are your weaknesses, Dolly?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well, I have many of them. I just don't care
to get into food for one, jewelry for another, sad
stories for another.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Sad story. I mean, let me ask you a question,
because I know it has happened to a lot of entertainers.
I can think of one specifically. Think of several who
made a lot of money and then they became victims
of every sad story they heard that people would come
around them with a sad story and they'd shell out.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Text reader used to say about Ernest Tubs, and Ernest
has been through three fortunes, and Ernest has been a
very generous man in his life. I wondered if this
were happening to you, Dolly, if you don't want to
talk about it more, or to entertainers.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, yeah, it happens all the time, and I
don't I wouldn't particularly care to get into any particular thing,
but it does happen because people find you out. They
know what kind of person you are. They know if
you're a soft touch, if you're soft hearted and all that.
But I have had to learn to a degree who
believe in? Who not to believe?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Does this happen to other entertainers?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You know? Yeah, it's happened to different ones that I know,
and it's happened to me, oh softly. But I love
to help, and I do, but I try to, you know,
figure out what it would really help somebody instead of
just hurting me.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You want to bring on this next fella we were
talking about him.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
This is the zodiac maniac.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well he's pretty into astrology.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I just kidding. I just made that up myself. Anyway,
