The crossover moment was filmed at the Grand Ole Opry and featured more than just the comedic stylings of The Carol Burnett Show and the familiar hits of a mainstream country star."

Carol's co-star Vicki Lawrence and Dolly played dueling grannies on the Hannah Montana show for a few seasons. Their rivalry over who was more important to Miley (and Elvis) made some great scripts.

This type of musical expertise is what was missing at the CMA awards Nov 2021!

Carol Burnett is a comic genius who is one of the few to share the same stage as Dolly Parton and not be completely upstaged (Dolly never tries to do that, it's just her natural star power). During this same era, she also appeared with opera superstar Beverly Sills as well. She can truly put herself in any situation and make it funny.

The world is better because this exists!

These were the best of days of TV and life!

Dolly's tour last year performed at The Santa Barbara Bowl. She is a magnificent troubadour & my teenage GRANDAUGHTERS loved her & her music.

This is the American culture that I want to see. It's so rich and fun.

My husband bought me a beautiful Seagull guitar ,,when I began picking on his late brothers guitar ,, I took lessons but ,,I feel ya Carol ,, I cant play it ,,but it was the best gift I had ever received,, I still have it ,, just a fun lil fact of my life ,, music being picked is a mystery to me I cant get my hands to cord ,,if I strum ,, or if I strum right I cant cord ,, this is on my playlist after Dolly's Me n lil Andy and Coat of many colors,, u gotta have something to make u laugh after hearing those 2 classics,,luv u Dolly and Carol both bring back such happy memories of easier times more simple ,, days,, when u knew your nieghbors,, and u had extended family consisting of many aunts n uncles ,,an of Grandma n my Grandpa ,, ty both for bringing a smile to my face in the hard days of pandemic,,just any time u need a smile
