The answer no,
Dolly Parton, does not own Dollywoood. Dolly is in a partnership, with the Herchend Family Entertainment. They pay her for the use of her name. Herchend also owns, Dixie Stampede, Silver Dollar City ( Branson MI.) Herchend bought the original Silver Dollar City, Wich is now present day Dollywood. : )
Dolly decided to make Dollywood, her amusement park in Pigeon Forge, TN because it was one of her dreams, and she thought it would help create jobs and boost the economy of her hometown. Dollywood employees a few thousand people from the area. Also, the park preserves the history of the Smoky Mountains.

It's called Dollywood! ;)
As of 2009, Dolly Parton's net worth is around $900 to $950 Million. Dolly has been on the top of her game for years and is a legend. Dolly also owns the rights to her songs and has written nearly every song she has ever released. Dolly also owns and operates her own theme park called DollyWood. She is very down to earth. Dolly is very charitable. She remembers that she was born in a one room shack in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, and she has never forgotten that and that makes her one of America's greatest singing stars and her spirit and legend will be around for years and years to come.

The song is titled Here You Come Again, and it doesn't have a special meaning for Dolly (she did not write the song) however, it could potentially have a meaning intended by the songwriter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnOU89u58L8
Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton both come to mind instantly. Loretta was from a poor mining community in Kentucky and Dolly from a poor mountain community in Tennessee. There are many more with similar backgrounds as well.
Dolly Parton has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the charts. Infact she has had more number 1 songs than any Female singer in history. This is another reason why she is regarded by many as the greatest Female singer of all time. She is also the only singer in history to have had a triple number 1 hit. That song was I will always love you. Some of the other songs that she has had number 1 hits with are. 9 to 5, Jolene, Here you come again, Islands in the streem and Coat of many colours. She is also the only singer to have had atleast a top 10 hit in each of the last 5 decades. There really is no other singer like her and it is very unlikely that there ever will be.
Dolly Parton is credited with saying this quote. It is a message about persevering through challenging times in order to experience the rewards and beauty that can come afterward.

The scientific activity is cloning. Ian Wilmut and his coworkers in Scotland named the sheep born in their clone tests "Dolly". She was the first successfully cloned mammal, in 1996.
It could be "Ah Leah"by Donnie Iris, or "Here You Come Again" by Dolly Parton

She was a mentor during the David Archuleta season, on a week where the contestants were made to pick one of Parton's songs to perform. Among those picked were Jolene, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and Smokey Mountain Memories.

John did many tours through Australia, Examples of ones are his first one in 1957, 1973, and 1985. I got a recording from there in 1973 and 1985, nothing from 1957 though sadly. Email me at: mch0707@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions.
