Didn't know Johnny Cash put Dolly onstage at the Grand Ole Opry. He gave her a few mins of his set in 1959. He brought on 'a little girl from East Tennessee... whose daddy is listening on the radio' & said everyone there would be mad if she didn't play. She got three encores.

Be smart. Get vaccinated. Protecting yourself should not have a political party.

Anita Brookner was, of course, a significant art historian & teacher of art history - she said she wrote novels because she wondered how they worked, & the only way to figure it out was do it.
