Like a lot of guys my age (63) I'm carrying a little extra, shall we say, baggage. My old Army uniforms have mysteriously shrunk to the point where I can't get into them anymore. But I do keep an eye…

Mom's just get it. On the premiere episode of Dolly Parton's What Would Dolly Do? Radio on Apple Music 1 a while back, her radio show with Apple Music, the country queen dished about her favorite looks, fashion moments, and everything else related to her 2023 book Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones. And one of the funniest moments came when she talked about how many of the mothers in her town growing up thought she was a "bad influence" because she liked to wear "too much makeup." Dolly pointed out that, ironically, their daughters were the ones out running around with boys and getting in trouble, noting that she was "pretty innocent in that respect": "I was [teasing] my hair, my family's hair, because I had a knack for that. But I was wearing too much makeup, and a lot of the mothers in school thought that I was a bad influence on some of their girls, thinking I was too cheap, a little too this, too that. And their daughters were the ones that were making all the trouble, running with the boys and all that. And I was actually pretty innocent in that respect." She continued, saying that even though her mom wasn't always a fan of how she dressed, she'd help her with it by adding padding to her shirts and dresses so she could "push her boobs up" and fill it out, so to speak. Dolly says her mom would tell her she better not tell her dad she did that, but she ultimately understand it was more about the creativity and building a "look" than anything else, so she did it... and Dolly's iconic look was born, when she was probably even too young to be looking that way: "Well, my mama was my grandpa's daughter and my grandpa was a preacher, so Mama was more flexible than Grandpa… because Mama, she understood that I was just trying to be myself… So Mama was the one that would kind of, if I would say, 'Hey, Mama, when you sew this little thing, put a little padding so I can push my boobs up just a little.' Mama would say, 'Well, you better not tell your daddy I did that.' Mama trusted me too. She knew that I was a singer and I was creative and that I was different. And so she tried to keep me in check as much as she could. But she did understand." Dolly didn't specify how young she was at the time, but I have to imagine she was a teenager or in her early 20's if her mom was still making her clothes (and if it was before she had her signature chest area). It's a funny, but really sweet, memory between mother and daughter and probably something many of us can relate to. I mean, I think a lot of us girls have had times where our moms helped us out in some way that only a woman could understand, and swore to never tell dad, because sometimes they just don't get it, ya know? And once again, Dolly was right about her signature look... she's always known exactly who she is, which is what I love so much about her. Her mama understood better than anyone that it was just part of her look, which was part of a much bigger vision, and she was going to do so much more good for the world if she could just get them to pay attention long enough. Obviously, they pulled it off and we're all better for it. She's been a queen since day one: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7ZvOwWvB24/

What a duo. Over the weekend, Wyatt Flores made his headlining Ryman Auditorium debut- topping off an incredible 2024. The "Welcome To The Plains" singer had a standout year, and closing it out by playing the original Grand Ole Opry house is one helluva way to close out his stellar year. And he closed it out with a bang. "Ryman you’ve been a dream of mine for so long and I can’t believe we have another night of playing! Thank you to everyone who came for night one and making it such a special night! Thank you to Lance Roark for kicking the show off with a bang, and thank you to The Great Divide for being one of my biggest influences in music and my heroes in life. I truly wish I could fully put into words the feelings I was having standing on that stage. Night two is happening soon. I’m ready to go back to church. Love y’all so much. See you soon!" https://www.instagram.com/p/DDkmtntxgqD/?img_index=5 While Flores lit up the stage from start to finish, he also brought out some special guests to help him burn it down. Kicking things off with The Castellows, the group performed their single "Sober Sundays." Later in the evening, Flores surprised guests again, bringing out Charles Wesley Godwin for what would be a standout moment from the night. Instead of performing one of Flores' songs together, given they do not have a single together, they opted for an all-time classic- "The Jealous Kind." Last year, Godwin released a stunning cover of the Christ Knight single as part of his Live From The Church EP, and fans quickly fell in love with his rendition of the song. Later in the year, Flores and CWG were on the road together and shared a video of them strumming the track in a green room.  “'The Jealous Kind' by Chris Knight. Wyatt Flores and I had a little free time before last week’s show in Spokane. Enjoy!” The duet quickly became one of my personal favorites. Everything about their acoustic take on the track is near perfection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=RuSexj9egAI&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE I have been keeping my fingers and toes crossed that one day, we will get this version from Flores and CWG on streaming platforms. While that wish is still on the wishlist, we did get another stellar performance of this song from The Ryman. The moment was genuinely full circle as CWG had Wyatt Flores open up for him during his headlining debut, and so Wyatt was tipping his hat in thanks toward the West Virginia native inviting him on stage to sing with him. "I can't say I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him letting us open up the stage for him last year. So thank you, Charles, wherever you are, brother."  Wyatt Flores sang the first verse, and Charles Wesley Godwin joined him for the second verse. The two were having a ball on stage, belting the words and jumping around during the song's bridge. It was a moment of pure joy, and watching it, you see two musicians who genuinely love what they do, supporting each other in their dreams. This one is well worth the watch. Fire it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77r_aG9sl_k
