I was told a story by the Mayor of Pittman Center, Tennessee. There was a busload of children from Sevierville that came to sing at the local school. One little girl was wearing a flour sack with holes cut for her skinny arms. She sang like a nitengale. It was October and cold. She had no coat. At the end of the performance, she got back on the bus and rode back to Sevierville. The Mayor asked who she was. "Well, that's Alva Lee Parton's girl." We know her today as Dolly Parton
