The lunchtime serenade was part of an event for the country music icon's Imagination Library, a book gifting program for young children.

The governor himself was quite giggly as he listened to Parton speak. The Imagination Library here in Delaware is now statewide. As a little girl in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Parton was raised in a home that didn’t have many books.

It was just always my belief — and I think millions of other people out there too — always thought the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was just set up for the greatest people in the rock ‘n’ roll business, and I just didn’t feel like I really measured up to that and I don’t want to take anything away from the people that have worked so hard. And I appreciate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame people for staying there with me.
