Honky Tonk Angels

My first endeavor into autograph collecting was collecting autographed CD inserts (and album and cassette before CD's). With the upcoming country music awards I thought it would be fun to go back & show you one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

FLASHBACK - DOLLY PARTON, LORETTA LYNN & TAMMY WYNETTE

Tammy Wynette - In Person Date: N/A, Loretta Lynn - In Person Date: N/A, Dolly Parton - In Person Date:N/A. Tammy was the first person I got to sign this cover. I had the chance to see her in concert (and meet her) three times. She was so nice and kind to me. If you've ever heard of people talking about meeting someone and feel like you've been friends forever, that was Tammy each time I met her. She was so incredible and I miss her a lot. Loretta was the next person I got to sign this after a show in Wisconsin Dells, WI. She was very kind and funny. I've had the chance to meet her a few times and you can always count on her to entertain you - regardless if it's singing or just telling a story. As you can see I've met Dolly Parton a few times, but Dolly's signature on this insert came before any of those times. I had sent it to my friend Trudie (who was working at the label Dolly was recording for at the time), and she kept this in her desk for months until Dolly came into the office and got her to sign it for me. I do remember this was after Tammy had passed away and Trudie was nervous holding onto it for me for that reason. But thanks to Trudie I was able to complete the cover. Not only is this an awesome piece in my collection but a great CD that I highly recommend. Each one take turns on the lead vocals of a song, with the others providing harmony. My favorite song on the album is one featuring Dolly on lead, called "Sitting On The Front Porch Swing".
