Dottie remembered being
in the studio with Don...
"Oh,
this was such a thrill to sing with this man. I loved singing with Don Gibson, let me tell you.
It's one of the highlights of my life. He's one of the best singers,
especially on a country song.
"One thing I remember about those sessions is that I kept
blowing my takes. I am such a fan of Don's that as soon as he'd start
humming or whistling - he whistles with as much soul as most people sing
with.
And he'd start
doing that and
I'd forget where
I was - as far
as coming back
in on my part.
I'm standing
there just
listening to
him. It
was fun."
