      Yes, she's done it to me too. Another beautiful event happened in interlocking Michigan in August of 2014. She's saying ghost in this house. And she was holding her fingers like the Yoga pose at the same time. Am I was while she was singing? We were in unity, it was heavenly.

      Alison Krauss has a perfect technique and great voice but Miley Cyrus gives way more sentiment to the song when she interprets it and has a beautiful voice too, just different. Obviously, Dolly is still the best, but I prefer Miley’s version compared to Alison’s.

    Love this song and really love Dolly. How anyone could post negative comments about her and her music is unimaginable to me. When you watch her interviews, she's so genuine,beautiful in every way. Alison, Susan and Cheryl did a fine rendition. At the end Alison looks like she's asking Dolly how it was...very sweet and respectful.
