    Saw her in January 2020. She played this song on an autoharp, but this one was absolutely COVERED in jewels. It was incredible.

      If you look closely, the one in the video is covered in something that sparkles, so it might be the same autoharp, but it is hard to see it clearly.

    Her autoharp technique is contingent on false nails... brilliant!

      @CN00_ 4 года назад +33

      Those aren't false nails those are her real nails. She has them overlayed but the length is her real natural nails. Btw she's the real deal picker she plays all her string instruments guitar/autoharp with just her fingers/nails and has the callouses to prove it. Makes me proud to be from the same part of the States as Miss Dolly.

      Dolly and Elvis both have an infinite repertoire of music covering a multitude of genres and they both sing a lot of gospel and they both are EXTREMELY talented musicians musical geniuses in their own rights. They're both from Tennessee and have a similar drawl to their voices and they both have a lot of love and generosity in their hearts. They embody pure love. I can definitely see the similarities.

    • @CN00_
      @CN00_ 4 года назад +2

      Yes she wrote it. Coat of many colors is based on a true story the story she's singing about is a personal experience that happened to her as a child. Listen to the lyrics and you'll see. Btw shes written roughly 2,000 songs throughout her lifetime and that's not just a random made up number that came straight from the horse's mouth she'll be the first one to tell you that. And she's got the proof to back it up as she's also an ace record keeper and collector she's saved and preserved EVERYTHING throughout her entire life much of it is in her museum and it's ALOT of stuff. She's one of the greatest most accomplished songwriters of the past century.

      The autoharp looks like a 15 chord Oscar Schmidt. Someone, probably a jeweler, got a hold of it. It is in tune. The autoharp was the beginning of her writing career in my opinion.

    I take my autoharp to small churches and sit on the back seat of the church. At the end of the service I ask if anyone wants to play it or look at it while I play it. So sometimes they tell me they don't have time, and sometimes they play the autoharp. I only go to each church once and I don't return. I find out how churches would treat Jesus. Harps cost $25,000.00 to $100,000.00 and lessons cost $100.00 a week for children who are studying harp. So children who can read the ABCs can read the autoharp and the guitar tabs and play without that $100.00 week in lessons.

      Charlotte Fairchild autoharp don't cost near 25,000 and especially not 100,000.00.
      I got mine for 100 and it's more than decent. Running price for a new one is 300...

    • @CharlotteFairchild
      @CharlotteFairchild 8 лет назад +1

      Right about that. A large standing harp is $25,000 to past $100,000. Meanwhile a great autoharp is $2,000.00 and a new one may be made in China and an old American autoharp that has been converted to 21 chords and new strings is $400 and a BETTER DEAL. You lucked out for $100. Your strings are old Jackson Catlett and they need changing! Strings cost about $100. I will look for a video of you playing! I have videos!

      You need to listen to the live album this came from, not a bootleg copy of an actual concert. This version doesn't sound anything like what was recorded in a studio. Do you realize how difficult it is to pull off a live concert in front of a live audience like she does. If you really do like Dolly Parton, you'd be buying the two DC set and enjoying the whole concert.
      NO ONE does a concert like Dolly. I think that the CD concert was done at Dollywood with the whole band playing and Allison Krause and Union Station.

    This song is a great exaggeration. Sure, she had a coat made of rags but so did many of the kids. I have on that was made during the depression. It was common for girls to have a coat quilt coats. Dolly does not tell you that it was made just like a quilt and was warm, pretty, and acceptable by the other girls. BECAREFUL OF WHAT YOU HEAR, READ AND BELEIVE.
