Song writing is a ritual forDolly Parton.
When she’s ready, it’s time to pack.
The country music legend doesn’t actually know how to read sheet music, saysSouthern Living.
That doesn’t stop her from playing all the instruments that suit her fancy.
It’s a trait that runs in her family, who raised her on church music.
Which musical instruments can you catch Parton performing with?
Maybe you saw her in 2019 onThe Tonight Showwith Jimmy Fallon.
“I did!”
she insisted, “Because they make noise and they sound like a typewriter to me.”
Fallon was delighted, “I’m shocked,” he replied.
“9 to 5” wasn’t the only song Parton wrote with the help of her manicure.
What else does Parton use her impossibly long nails for?
