I met her backstage after my friend and I got offstage after the 1st show. She was getting ready to play the 3rd show while Ricky Skaggs was out playing the 2nd one. There was no real dressing room and no make-up person, so she was putting on her own makeup herself and combing out her hair. Her band was sitting around talking and tuning up. She made the comment that she bet my friend and I thought she looked totally different without her makeup, which she definitely did. She was still pretty, but just looked a lot different. She was as nice as she could be and I've always admired how she has handled her struggles in life.
