I first met burlesque dancer Truvy Trollop in San Francisco, California on the radio. We were both booked on a show, and hit it off so that we stayed in touch. When I found myself touring through Nashville, I asked if she would be up for an interview. She agreed, but only if we could record at her aunt’s house. Her aunt, I later found out, is country music LEGEND Dolly Parton. Slightly star-struck, sitting in Dolly’s guest home, I talked with Truvy about her work in burlesque and her own singing career.Â
