JOLENE BY EMMA REYNOLDS QUARANTINE SINGING CIRCLE #145

Hello all,

Welcome to August, Country Music Month.

"Jolene" is a song written and performed by American country music artist Dolly Parton. It was produced by Bob Ferguson and recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee on May 22, 1973. It was released on October 15, 1973, by RCA Victor, as the first single and title track from her album of the same name.

According to Parton, the song was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married. In an interview, she also revealed that Jolene's name and appearance are based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph. During an interview on The Bobby Bones Show in 2018, Dolly Parton revealed that she wrote "Jolene" on the same day that she wrote "I Will Always Love You".

Over 18 months ago, we introduced our Quarantine Singing Circle - an alternative way to keep all of our program participants and supporters engaged, in-community and feeling less isolated, while spreading some joy and fun at the same time.

Here is what we had to cancel and pivot:
ROCK FOR VETS
BARBARA ALPERT SINGING CIRCLE
AMERICAN GOLD STAR MANOR VOICES
VILLAGES AT CABRILLO VILLAGE JAM
DRUM CIRLCE AT THE VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

Did you hear the intro/outro music, let’s thank Rick Roche, Navy Vietnam Veteran from Baltimore and Rock For Vets member.
