Which 'Jolene' is which?
The Mint got its start back in 1862 as Jimmy Ryan's Saloon, which catered to the miners in Kokomo, a tiny town that's now buried in tailings outside of Leadville. A few years later, the building was moved to Frisco; in 1882, it landed in Dillon, when that town was booming as the Denver & Rio Grande railroad came into the valley. Eventually, the saloon became known as the Mint, a popular bar and bordello.
As Matthew Hays, a Mint bartender recalls, in the fall of 2021 a filmmaker came into the Mint for dinner, fell in love with the place, took a lot of pictures and sent them off to Parton."She signed off on it," Hays says."She loved the building." And while she didn't make it to Silverthorne for the filming because of COVID concerns, Destructo came in from California. Hays, who's been active in theater and stage work, was there for the filming, which he says was"surreal." It started about 3 p.m. and wrapped eight hours later.
After a close-up of the building, the video cuts to Destructo sitting in one of the historic booths as an enthusiastic dancer starts a two-step to the"Jolene" remix. She's soon joined by a cast of line dancers who came up from Denver for the filming, and create a boot-stomping show that shakes the old building.
Parton had picked a few Mint regulars out of the photos for parts, and two do a crazy dance up the stairs to the second level, once the brothel.
