This past month, we lost a true music icon, and she left one last lesson for every music teacher on her way out. Did you catch what it was?

One line of Dolly Parton’s kept turning up everywhere in the days after she passed which is the reason this episode exists.

It also dragged up a memory I’d rather forget. A concert years ago where I got so deep into logistics that I nearly missed the entire point of being there! 

I won’t spoil what Dolly actually said, or what happened at that concert. But if you’ve ever felt like the hard stuff eats up all your attention while the good stuff slips by unnoticed, you’ll want to hear this episode.

Click play now, because by the end, you’ll have her exact words, my 3am confession, and one 10 second habit that I now use so it never slips by unnoticed again. 

Enjoy & let me know your thoughts!
