"Dolly Parton is without a doubt one of the most polite, friendly and welcoming human beings I have ever met. I was catering backstage at one of her concerts. My job was to prepare the buffet for the backstage guests and basically be invisible. She entered the room and greeted everybody like they were family. Then she saw me and my coworker and said, "Aw, come on over here. We're all family here!" She made herself an equal to everybody in the room.

Daryl Hall was a cool guy. Gave us all autographed tshirts. John Oates not so much. Their crew let us (backstage caterers) watch the show from the wings.

Melissa Etheridge was awesome. Super friendly to the backstage crew."
