'I'm seeing how people are remembering me. And that makes me feel very humble.'
Dolly Parton celebrated 50 years on the Grand Ole Opry this weekend, playing two sold-out shows on its iconic Nashville stage.
Her first time playing the Opry was actually 60 years ago at the Ryman Auditorium, when she was only 13."My daddy loved the Grand Ole Opry, so we had to listen to it back home, and me dreaming of being on it," she said before the show."The night that I actually became a member... was one of the highlights of my whole life, because it was a true dream of mine.
She also paid tribute to her mentor Porter Wagoner, inviting his longtime band member Buck Trent to join her on Porter's hit,"The Carroll County Accident." "I just have so many memories," Dolly reminisced."Watching the people backstage, and standing out there on that stage where all the great people stood, just thinking maybe someday I could be part of them.""You wonder how people will remember you when you're older," Dolly explained."And I'm older, and I'm seeing how people are remembering me. And that makes me feel very humble.
