"Rockin'" by Dolly Parton. (Awesome Live at the R&R Hall of Fame induction)

Anything Ms. Parton does is OK by me because there's an equally big heart behind those boobs. I'm sure there were many who dispraised her membership in the "House That Rock Built". It appears Dolly anticipated that when she took the stage at the induction ceremony in 2022.

This put a smile on my face that I hope lasts my whole Sunday.
