Gone Fishing

By David Farrell

We are ‘gone fishing’ this Monday and won’t be returning to your in-box before Wednesday, September 4. Our plans are varied as summer’s official close comes with the end of the ‘Ex’ and the imminence of kids going back to school. The air is becoming nippy early a.m. and the hours of daylight are shortening, telling us all that fall and winter are fast approaching. Please, we encourage, play it safe, huddle with family, and have a blast this long weekend that also plays before our upcoming federal election.


Cheers: The FYI team

Dolly Parton, One of Country Music’s Biggest & Brightest Icons, Dies at 80

Parton was one of the most influential songwriters to hit Nashville -- or the world.

Dolly Parton, the extraordinarily versatile singer and songwriter who built up her artistic credibility and commercial fortunes in both country and pop music over more than half a century, has died in Nashville on Tuesday (Aug. 25) at the age of 80.

Parton had been mostly out of sight eye for the past year following a struggle with unspecified health issues that forced the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter to curtail public appearances and postpone, then cancel her planned 2025 Las Vegas residency. Her death came 17 months after the passing of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, who died on March 3, 2025 at age 82.
