Please indulge me.

I have never published a short essay. To the contrary, I have had to divide most of them into more than one part because I ran out of internet before I could finish the essay. So, please indulge me, just this once, in a simple musical interlude to accompany this story:

Id love to see if this is true or not. Love Dolly!
