Jolene (33 R.P.M) - click for .mp3

Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.

Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner.  And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence.

The sweetest scene.  Dr. Lucien [in-denial] Blake: “The thing about Jean is…… (I’ve always loved her and considered her home).”

“Jack’s gone, eh?”

“Yes.”

“He’ll come back.”

“Nah, I”m not so sure about that.

“We can’t give up on them can we? They’ll always be our children. And when he does decide to come back, well - he’ll always be welcome here.”

“This isn’t his home, Lucien.”

“It’s your home, Jean. This- this is your home. That means it’s his home too.”

Bold!Shelagh makes an appearance. A small little thing to bring some smiles on a Monday.

In case anybody missed it when Sister Winifred was on her warpath, sheaths are condoms.

I was tagged by @lovetheturners in a post about the first line of a work in progress -

“Shelagh had known cold winters as a child growing up in Scotland and had vivid memories of the winter of 47 when the lack of coal made things extremely difficult but this was something else altogether.“

This gave me the incentive to finally finish the story. 

I hope you like it.

Apparently the original upload cannot be viewed in some countries and I’ve had several requests to put it up elsewhere.
