I’m calling this one, “Please Don’t Take My Man.”

Snapshot #76
A reliable source told us that this home belongs to a well-known country singer, so I called it, “Hello Dolly!”
Dolly, Jolene, and Pentatonix: At Long Last, Love
I absolutely hated the song Jolene when it was released in 1974. I mimicked Dolly’s voice, bleating out, rather than belting out, the lyrics about a woman in danger of losing her man to the much lovelier Jolene. And what kind of crazy, made up name was Jolene anyway? (My apologies to all the actual women I now know who bear that moniker.)
But the tune slowly grew on me over the decades. While I didn’t actually like the song, I didn’t despise it anymore either. If the strains of Jolene began playing on a country oldies station I didn’t automatically switch to an alternate channel.
And now there’s this lovely acapella version of the song featuring Dolly Parton and Pentatonix. Pardon me while I sing along.
Peace, people!
