in 2004, I visited a restaurant in Missouri that she owned (she wasn't there at the time, unfortunately). the food was ok, but there was a professional rope and whip expert in the lobby, entertaining people for free. you could hold a playing card between your hands, stand 20 feet away, and he'd chop it in half with his whip. he could grab items from the balcony with a rope and safely pull them down to the ground floor where he was standing. absolute mastery at his craft.

I always think of that dude when someone mentions Dolly Parton.
