This week, we remember the one and only Dolly Parton. Dolly used her musical success to help others. She started the Imagination Library, a free book program for children that included some of her favorites, like the "Little Engine that Could." And, Dolly’s kindness touched people from all walks of life.
The live show is sold out, but thanks to West Virginia Public Broadcasting and VuHaus you can experience this Sunday’s Mountain Stage, with guest-host Kathy Mattea, from anywhere.
The show starts at 7 p.m. on Sunday. Just come back to this post or point your browser to MountainStage.org or VuHaus.com to watch along.
