It’s a very sad day in Nashville as we mourn the loss of the incomparable Dolly Parton. She means so much to this city, and she lived so much life in her 80 years.

It feels strange to talk about anything else right now, but Dolly always reminded us to look for the light and the sparkle, and I do have some good things to share with you. So, in her honor, let’s carry a little of her kindness, joy, and generosity forward.
