When Loretta was seven months along in the first of their six pregnancies, the Lynns left Kentucky and relocated to the logging town of Custer, Washington.

The joys and sorrows of her first few years of marriage would serve as inspiration for Lynn’s music. Doolittle gave her a Harmony guitar in 1953 for $17 (which would be $172 today). Over the next three years, she strived to hone her guitar skills after teaching herself how to play.
