We love you, Dolly!!!
She's a dynamo that never stops going! We have long admired Dolly for the multitude of things she has done over the course of her lifetime. In addition to the many lasting chapters of music she's created in her sixty-plus year career, Dolly is a lifelong humanitarian, heading a variety of social causes, including the founding of her Imagination Library club for children, which bestows free books to help boost literacy by creating a love of reading for kids in the USA and around the world.
(According to the www.imaginationlibrary.com/ website, as of today, she has given a total of 304,538,420 books to children!)
Dolly has always expressed her love of the autumn season and Halloween, it being her favorite time of the year. Growing up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee has left her with a treasure trove of memories and experiences, many of which were fashioned into her songs. One song that truly sticks out as special pertains to an extraordinary, eccentric old woman she knew of in her tiny mountain town; that of a seer, a healing woman... or, as she was known in the area, "an old witchy woman."
It's called "These Old Bones" and is featured in this issue, along with a link to a very special video that Dolly did just for Autumn Brilliance.

We still have copies available, but in a very limited quantity. Today, in honor of her 80th birthday, we are offering this fabulous issue at a reduced price! *
