About 5 years ago I taught a young traveller girl with a notorious surname, she was tough enough to reach on anything that wasn’t maths, hadn’t much interest in literacy
So e of the kids were into country music so one day I played ‘coat of many colours’
This girl hadn’t been into music much but she listened to the song and then got me to play it again a few more times, it really resonated with her
Dolly became the hook that I used to push her on, she did a brilliant project on Dolly later that year, big old style poster effort.
Brilliant songwriter and you feel she was an absolute sweetheart, beautiful woman too
RIP
