The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs
Dudley’s book gives great insight into why so many people around the world love Dolly Parton. While Dolly is one of the biggest superstars, she has never forgotten who she is and where she came from and the faith that anchors her life. GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE, Bill Haslam, and First Lady Crissy Haslam Three amazing strands of stories are woven into this fabu- lous book, The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs. The thread of biography speaks of a fascinating woman whom we tend to think we know, but whom I admire even more when seeing her through the lens of faith. The thread of memoir shared through the author’s blending of his own life story with Dolly’s is a gift of hope and connection. And the final thread, that of devotional, invites us to more. Faith- based questions at the end of each chapter take us deeper into our own stories, while the prayers remind us that it was Dolly’s faith that has taken her to the heights she’s attained, as she humbly acknowledges. Reading this book reminded me of my own faith journey and the gift of story told through music, words, and life. I love this book! You will too! JANE KIRKPATRICK, award- winning author of All She Left Behind The Faith of Dolly Parton is a little book filled with big dreams! Dudley Delffs weaves together his unique spiritual journey with the wonder and wisdom of Dolly Parton’s with a heartwarming result. I was uplifted by the inspirational gifts of both and delighted by the author’s humor and the 9780310352921_FaithDollyParton_int_HC.indd 1 4/6/18 11:31 AM joy hidden in the stories of Dolly’s life.

Buck Owens Obituary
Obituary of Buck Owens: March 27, 2006 By: Dave Hoekstra Buck Owens was more than a voice in country music. He was an American metaphor for the clarion of possibility after The Grapes of Wrath migration to California. Alvin Edgar "Buck" Owens was a honky-tonk singer, a TV star -- best known for his role in "Hee-Haw" -- and an entrepreneur who owned radio and television stations in Bakersfield, Calif. He was a good soul, one who would fly from Bakersfield to Portland, Ore., as he did in March 2005 to surprise compatriot Merle Haggard, who was opening for Bob Dylan. The depth of the moment was understood. With Mr. Owens standing stage right in a resplendent brown and black cowboy jacket, Dylan took a chance on Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home." Mr. Owens died Saturday at home in Bakersfield. He was 76. On Sunday, CMT.com reported the cause of death as a heart attack. He grew old, but his songs never became tired. In recent years he stopped touring outside of California, but he still managed to capture a new generation of fans that included Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle and the Bottle Rockets. In the late 1990s, John Soss of Chicago's Jam Productions held an annual Buck Owens birthday party at Schubas that featured artists as diverse as soul singers Otis Clay and Mavis Staples, and country-rocker Jon Langford. Mr. Owens crossed borders he never would have dreamed of as a child when he headed west with his sharecropper parents from the Red River Valley near Sherman, Texas.

Linda Martell, A.K.A
The Clerk’s Black History Series Debra DeBerry Clerk of Superior Court DeKalb County Linda(June 4, Martell 1941 -) Linda Martell, a.k.a. Thelma Bynem, was born June 4, 1941 in Leesville, South Carolina. One of five children, she began singing at the age of five and learned to cook for her family by the age of seven. She sang with a gospel church group with three of her bothers and later formed a trio called The Anglos with one of her sisters and a cousin; they performed at local clubs in the late 1950’s. She married in 1960 and the couple had three children. She changed her name at the suggestion of a local DJ who said she needed a better stage name. The DJ suggested she looked like a “Linda” - and Linda Martell and the Anglos were born. They released their first single in 1962, “A Little Tear (Was Falling From My Eyes)” on the Fire record label based in New York. Unfortunately, the single was never promoted and didn’t sell. They also recorded two more singles with no real financial return for their effort. Around 1966, Linda and her husband attended an Otis Redding concert in South Carolina. At one point during the evening, Otis, who had been paying particular attention to Linda, shocked the crowd (and her husband) by kissing Linda during the performance. Otis later asked Linda to go on the road with him, but her husband opined against it, fearing he would lose his wife to the popular singer. As fate would have it, Otis Redding died one year later in a plane crash while traveling on tour.

Baldwin Haney Essay For
The Singing on the Mountain By Dave Haney and Lisa Baldwin This essay was composed for the project Worth 1,000 Words: Essays on the Photos of Hugh Morton, made possible in part by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Hugh Morton Collection of Photographs and Films is held by the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives, Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Haney is the former Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and Professor of English and Appalachian Studies at Appalachian State University (now Provost at Black Hills State University in South Dakota), as well as a musician and author on topics of philosophy, literature, and bluegrass music. Lisa Baldwin is a recent graduate of the MA program in Appalachian Studies at Appalachian State University, has taught elementary school for 30 years, is the founder of “Learning Through Song,” a music education program, and is a musician and songwriter who performs with Dave Haney and others. Although our current understanding of traditional music festivals is shaped by the folk and bluegrass festivals that blossomed in the 1960s, both secular and religious traditional music had been performed in large outdoor settings in the Blue Ridge Mountains much earlier. Many of the largest of these events had inauspicious beginnings. On the secular side, the Annual Old Fiddler’s Convention in Galax, Virginia, according to the convention’s official web site, was started in 1935 by Moose Lodge #733 in order to raise funds and preserve regional musical traditions, and has since grown to one of the world’s largest fiddler’s conventions.

It's More Than Positive Thinking
It's More than Positive Thinking Scriptures: Isaiah 11 Matthew 3-1:12 Romans 5:4-13 Date: December 8, 2013 Second Sunday of Advent Preaching: Rev. Dr. W. Clifford Houston Interim Pastor I’m going to tell you a secret. I grew up in the South, watching a variety show called Hee Haw. The show was centered around country music and Southern culture. It took place in an imaginary county called Kornfield County, which was just as corny as it sounds. Buck Owens and Roy Clark co-hosted the show, but my two favorites were Grady Nutt and Archie Campbell. Archie owned a barber shop. Each week Roy would go to Archie to get his hair cut, and Archie would tell him some good and bad news. Let me read a portion one of Archie’s routines with Roy. Imagine the two men talking back and forth. Archie first. [Bear with me … Only take minute. Roy walks into barbershop …] Archie: Hey Roy, I guess you heard about my terrible misfortune. Roy: No, Archie, what happened? Archie: Well, my great uncle died. Roy: Oh that's bad! Archie: No that's good! Roy: How come? Archie: Well, when he died, he left me 50,000 dollars. Roy: Oh that's good! Archie: No that's bad! Roy: How come? Archie: When the Internal Revenue got through with it, all I had left was 25,000 dollars. Roy: That's bad. Archie: No that's good. Roy: How come? Archie: Well Roy, I took the $25,000, bought me an airplane, and I learned to fly.
