She is the Queen of Country Music to me. I had the pleasure of doing an interview with her several years ago and to this day that interview  is my most cherished conversation with any country music star. Sweet, kind, humble and genuine, what an amazing lady. Loretta and I discussed gardening, another passion of hers and I am pleased to say that we can now have a little bit of Loretta in our own gardens.
