RIP Dolly Parton

 Although Music Maven isn't generally known as a Country Music savant, we have always felt a spark when it came to Dolly Parton.  Our head of security has loved her since he was a small child when she was with Porter Wagoner.  Parton's passing has created an interference that hasn't been seen since Elvis Presley's passing in the month of August in 1977.  

There is something magnetic about these remarkable talents that glow brighter than the sun or the moon.  When Presley passed the Music Maven was on her way to Laguna Beach with her husband and our head of security.  All of the sudden the weather went from sunny and blue sky to darn near a hurricane.  In the midst of this news bulletin on the radio announces that Presley has crossed over.

Today here at ground zero we were experiencing major ethernet issues and were trying to cope by finding work arounds with no luck.  There were important documents to get out and it just couldn't be done.  We were so emotionally drained and then from Facebook  comes the announcement that Country Music's Queen Dolly Parton has crossed over.  

Michael Jackson had that same energy and like Parton was a known philanthropist.  The master of energy is Nikola Tesla who was a master Inventor, Scientist and Engineer understood how energy works. Look it up.

These ultra talented individuals have a core of energy that reaches out to their audience.  It can be a good thing, it could be a bad thing or it could be a double edged sword.  Like moths attracted to a light, the fans are attracted to the energy. This can be a very hard thing to manage and Parton did that her philanthropic works such as her literacy for children until they are five at which point they get sweet letter from Parton wishing them a wonder-filled path.

How many millions of children under the age of five have benefitted from this program? Parton was involved in many projects that benefitted untold amounts of individuals.  Parton's physical spark may have dimmed but her music will live on as well as her philanthropy. 

One friend of ours took photos of her at a concert and her image is a glowing white figure...kind of like an angel but that is the energy his camera picked up. Parton is in the arms of the angels now and they are singing hallelujah.   

Rest In Peace Dolly Parton.
