7 reasons the world loves Dolly Parton (The Washington Post)

The country music superstar, who turns 77 this week, has fans for more reasons than her singing.

So she made her own guitar from an old mandolin and rusty piano strings, and performed on the porch for her siblings (and a few pigs). She’s a successful business executive. She’s not afraid to tell it like it is or wear what she likes: sparkly clothes and sky-high heels. She’s a hard worker. “Dolly has new song ideas all the time, like when she’s cooking, or traveling in her bus, and even in the bathtub,” says Lydia Hamessley, music professor at Hamilton College in New York and author of “Unlikely Angel: The Songs of Dolly Parton.” “She keeps paper and a pen in every room to jot down new lyrics, and she sings her melodies into a cassette tape recorder.” She’s a gifted songwriter.
