Hey all you hosses out there! I haven't signed in for a while now, I have been
busy on my page that I just started, and it is really been a job I tell you! I
would just like to really commend Per for the wonderful and glorious page he
is putting on here! I don't think we really all understand the hard work it
takes to put on a page, and I tell you, it's a chore! Per has done an excellent
job, and I will in no way, shape or form ever be able to do the justice to my
site that he has done with his, I am just starting out and learning but I tell
you again, it's a chore, but I think in the end it will be well worth it! I
invite you all to visit my page and tell me what you think, my page is
different, I do have it about Patsy, but I have also included two other
singers, that I am sort of stuck on also, the Cline is the all time favorite,
but I thought these other 2 deserved some credit also, because they too lost
their lives in a plane crash, at the peak of their careers and I feel like
they should be recognized also!!! So drop by and visit, and Per, I have linked
your site on mine, I have also linked Amber's and Guy's, and would like to
also say that I am just so excited that we can all come together and recognize
these people that made a difference in the world of music, and I like the fact
that so many of us love these artists, not only for there music but for who
they are also!
Anyway, I need to also mention, I did back in February, send in
to become a member of the Patsy Cline fan club, and just when I thought they
had forgotten me, they sent me the info to get signed up, so if anyone else
has sent it, take some advice from me, be patient! They will send the info
back to you, it just takes awhile, but I did receive it and included was the
entry form and a short letter from Mel Dick. The membership fee is $12.00 per
person or $20.00 per couple. With this fee you receive: A membership card, an
8 X 10 b/w photo, intoductory letter from Julie Fudge, a special gift, letters
from staff welcoming you and quarterly newsletters. Also posters, shirts, hats,
photos, etc. are available to members from time to time at special prices. I
could not get over all the stuff you get just for joining, and it did my old
heart good to know that they have set up such a wonderful fan club to honor
Patsy! I am sending my entry in as fast as I can! I encourage you also, if you
haven't yet become a member of the club please do so, I think it's a wonderful
way to interact with people about Patsy and get to know people from Virginia,
and her family and help them pay tribute to such a wonderful lady.
Also, I would like to say I saw the Country Weekly article on the induction of the
Hall of Fame members and would like to add that I too was very shocked to read
that Harlan Howard is just now being inducted! I couldn't believe it, I thought
he would've been inducted the minute "I Fall to Pieces" went to number 1! I
think Harlan is a very talented and gifted person, he has wrote alot of popular
records and is very well known in the industry, and I just think it a shame
that he just now is getting the recognition he deserved a long time ago, oh
well, I guess better late than never!

I know it isn't Friday yet (my usual sign-in day), but I just saw some new
Patsy video material & had to express my joy! It was a brief clip shown on
"Yesterday & Today" this evening! The episode is "Country Radio", and is a
*must-see* clip for all PC lovers, she is just... just... Patsy!! Dontcha just
love to see her all sweet 'n demure with her hands folded in her lap, all
ladylike? Did y'all see this show!? Wonderful!

I think Patsy Cline was one of the best femal singers that has ever came out.
I loved her movie "Sweet Dreams" until the end when she died.

You mean Harland Howard is _just now_ being inducted into the Country Music
Hall of Fame? What a shame. Harland deserved this honor a long time ago! BTW,
I asked the clerk at my local Wal-Mart about the new Patsy Cline album and he
looked at me as if I was nuts (which I am!). But as I explained about how a
"live" album was being released, he got really excited. Maybe this album will
blow the others off the charts!

I have a question that's sorta kinda Patsy related. Does anyone know who
originally sung "When my Dreamboat..." that Patsy sings on the Cimarron
release due out next week? Also, (sorta kinda Patsy related), has anyone heard
that Mandy Barnett has left her recording label? I heard it through the
grapevine, and I was just wondering if it was true and what might have
happened.

The Countdown Continues: Just eight more days. Mark, the Cimarron Ballroom is
(or was) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The MCA Nashville/Live at the Cimarron Ballroom
homepage (check my earlier posting or the News page for Link) states this was
Patsy's very first concert after the 1961 car accident. The concert is being
released on CD 36 years to the day after it was recorded. It will be hard for
us to remember when we listen to this album that on the night of July 29,
1961, Patsy's greatest songs were not yet recorded, and in some cases, not
even written. The sessions that produced "Crazy" were still a few weeks away.
The Patsy Cline we will hear is a woman at the threshold of her greatest
triumphs, with the world at her feet and everything to live for. It should be
a truly memorable experience for every Patsy Cline fan.

I am a huge Patsy Cline fan. I am very interested in joining her fan club. I
would appreciate any helpful information as to how. This information about
Patsy is so interesting. Thanks to all of those who have worked so hard to
provide this for all of us. I look forward to learning more and more about the
wonderful woman named Patsy Cline!!!

Hey Folks, Note my new aol screen name. You all can send me email to this name
or the other one that is listed in all my previous book entries. I'm a tellin'
ya, I just can't wait for the new CD. What a fabulous birthday present it will
make, even if I did have to wait on it. The only question I have is where was
this Cimmaron Ballroom? For some reason I think it was the Vegas show, but
then I also remember that was at the Merry Mint Casino. If anyone can set me
straight I would appreciate it. That's all I have for now. I'll be loving you,
Always. Mark

Hi again everyone -- Last night (Sun 7/20) went to see "Always, Patsy Cline"
in Chicago, with Alice Kirwan in the lead role. Great, great show. Kirwan's
voice is terrific. This production was almost as good as the Nashville original
with Mandy Barnett. I've just put up a "page 2" on my Patsy Cline site, so
please stop by if you haven't been there in awhile. Thanks again to Per (for
the inspiration), and to Jimmy and Amber and the others who've signed my
guestbook and given encouragement. Eight days and counting till the Cimarron
album!

According to the current issue of Country Weekly, two of Patsy's pals will
join her this September as members of the Country Music Hall of Fame: Brenda
Lee and Harlan Howard. I'm very happy for both of them. Maybe the show a clip
of Patsy singing "I Fall To Pieces" in Harlan's tribute just as they did for
Willie when they showed a clip of "Crazy". Regarding SOW: "Blue Moon of
Kentucky" is outstanding. I like both the original version, and the overdub
that was done for "Sweet Dreams". She swings on one, and rocks on the other.
As far as the fluffed line in "Sweet Dreams", I'm sure Owen Bradley created
that in the studio, by having the player skip or something. Now, it's my turn.
Nine, count 'em, nine days until we can hear Patsy Cline in concert. Talk
about "When My Dreamboat Comes Home". This is something I could only imagine
ever happening, being born 7 1/2 years after Patsy's death. Thanks to whoever
had the sense to record this for posterity.

There was an important date in Patsy history last week!
On 7-15-61 "I Fall to Pieces" was Patsy's first number one!
I just heard on the Opry that "Greatest Hits" has now sold
8 million! Patsy will bet out Shania and Garth in sales for one album.
Cath, I like your idea. As a matter of fact I sent a picture of Mae
Axton and me into Country Music Mag. It is on the newstand now.

Hi. I had an idea for a new page, if anyone out there is able to help. Per has
given me the go-ahead to mention it on the guestbook. If anybody has a picture
of themselves either with another fan or in a place that is somehow related to
Patsy, why not send a copy of it to Per so we can have our own Hall of Fame on
the site? I could be a sort of on-site fan club, albeit an unofficial one, and
would make the site a little more personal (if that's possible). Lisa, SOW
sounds pretty good to me!!! As usual. Cath

Since a good thought is rare with me these days, I thought that I'd share this
one with you folks and the jewel of this is that this is Patsy related. Since
Patsy enjoyed swingin' bands, I thought that it woulda been awesome if she and
Buck Owens could have toured. I believe that she would have liked that band
because it was one of the swingingest bands of the 60s. I think that the Cline
would have blended well with the hoss of the bands. Just a thought... let me
know what you think. Wade

Ok it is my turn on the count down - 10 days!
S.O.W. Being from Ky, "Blue Moon" is a favorite. Always a crowd pleaser at the
"Patsy" shows/tributes. The kinescope is one of my favorite. Wade, you're right
about "Foolin' Round". In 10 days will have another version.
Ok I found something for ya'll to do after you sign off. Call 1-888-CMT-VOTE
to register your ballot for your favorite video. Patsy has had 3 of them:
"Blue Moon of KY", "Sweet Dreams" and "Crazy" (from the box collection promo).
So go vote for one or 3. Many people have asked about Labor Day in Winchester,
Linda Cunningham
has the schedule on her page. You must be a member to attend
the luncheon and picnic. TV news: TNN will repeat "Yesterday and Today" on

Hey Folks, Well I sure am glad to be back. After 2 weeks without a system, my
new PC arrived yesterday. I thought I would die if I didn't get to visit this
site. It was hard, let me tell you. Anyway, you all can wish me a happy 21st
birthday (7/14). I am so excited to hear all about Camden and the neat things
that happened there. And I can't wait to go out and buy the new CD for my
birthday. I decided to waive all rights to a present until the 29th when I
could go to a live Patsy concert. I can't wait, what a thrill it will be.
Until then that's all I know. Talk to ya'll again real soon. I'll be loving
you, Always. Mark

Once again I have to sing the praises of this awesome website. Visiting this
site has become a part of my daily routine. My song of the week is "Foolin'
'Round". I've been listening to Buck Owens this week and realize that Patsy
did an excellent cover on Buck's 1961 hit. I dig the way she ends the song by
talking it out-that's just the bomb. I'm gonna be standing guard at the music
section of Wal-Mart when the waking hour of the 29th rolls around. It's almost
as if Patsy's coming to town. See you dogies later and remember to shake a leg
and let your hair down. Bye!

Countin' down, dogies, just 11 days 'til ecstasy! We're gonna shake, rattle 'n
roll when our Dreamboat comes home with Stupid Cupid! The Boppin' Computer
Database hereby announces that the Official Random Song 'o the Week is: "Blue
Moon of Kentucky", Session #27, February 5, 1963. Once again, I prefer the
hepped-up version created for the film. But Patsy really got to let loose on
this one, and I bet it was sure swingin' to see her perform it live! Other
opinions on this one? PS When Jessica as Patsy is singing this song at the
dance, how *did* they make her fluff the song?

My parents played Patst Cline music from the time I was born (1956). I have
loved her music as long as I can remember. "Crazy" (of course), "Sweet Dreams",
"Walkin After Midnight", "I Fall To Pieces", and "Back in Baby's Arms" are
among my favorites. Thank you, Patsy, for the wonderful music. Thank you for
this wonderful web page!

I just saw Gail Bliss perform at The Horsehoe Tavern last night. (Ms. Bliss
performed the title role in the hit musical "Patsy!" here in Toronto last
year, which I saw twice, front row). She performed new songs from her
yet-to-be-released album, but for her encore she did a rendition of "Crazy"
that brought the capacity crowd to its feet. I'm a Gen-Xer and therefore never
got the chance to see Ms. Cline perform, but now I feel like I have gotten a
rough idea what it must have been like. Are there any visitors to this page
who actually saw Ms. Cline perform? Met her? Called "hoss" by her? Please
share your stories with the next generation of CD-carrying fans!

This is the very FIRST time I have logged onto the Internet, and the first
thing I wanted to do was see if there was any information on my favorite
female singer. I first heard her music in 1963, and the name of the song was
"Sweet Dreams". Since then I have been collecting as much as I could regarding
her and her music. I remember the stabbing I got in my heart when I heard the
news of her death. I never met her, but she still has a place in my heart. It
is wonderful to see so many people still think of her... I will be
"bookmarking" this place as I do plan on returning to it frequently, and maybe
sometime will join in the "chat". Thanks to those of you who have put such a
big effort into bringing her back to life for me.

Patsy fan, love her her music... and wish to be a Patsy Cline imitator... I
have been told by many older people that I look very much like her and thanks
to the pics in your site. I now know that I do and have better abilities now
to copy the hair and makeup styles that she used. This is a wonderful site!

Patsy Cline is definitely the greatest female singer ever. As
a matter of fact I am distantly related to her. (8th cousin)
I am pleased to see that there are so many people that love
Patsy and her music as much as I do. But I am only 12 and never
got to be around when she was making her music. But I feel
that she is still making her music, but this time in heaven.
I don't have a website or anything but I plan to in the future.
Although for anyone who reads this and would like to discuss
Patsy or any other artist please write to me at 337 1/2 N.Walnnut St.
Van Wert, OH. I will positively write back! (and would stay in touch).

PATSY CLINE is one of the best country singers I have ever heard. I even
believe that she is one of the best today out of all the talented singers in
the world. She gave us a voice that can never be forgotten and she will always
have a great impact on my life. I've loved her since the first time my grandma
introduced me to her music. She will always be the best in my own mind.

Hi everyone. If you've tried to access my Patsy site in the last day or two
and had problems, please try again now. For awhile the server was down for
maintenance, and then I had it down myself while re-designing it. I've changed
it a little, so if you've taken a look before, please look again. I've made
the pictures smaller so everything will load faster, and I've corrected the
mistakes in the links. My thanks to Amber for putting a link to my page on her
great site. I also have an identical site at

I'd like to contact Per Jonsson. I'm the author of the original 1981 Patsy
biography and the updated 1993 HONKY TONK ANGEL now in paperback. I read
through the site and was stunned that nary a mention is ever made of my book
by anyone! It's been selling for 18 years now and has the Louise Seger
interviews that made her famous and are the basis for the revue "ALWAYS PATSY
CLINE". It's my book that has been adapted for an upcoming Broadway musical
with a cast of 20. The collector's edition of my book has 48 pages of photos,
some of which you are using uncredited. I'd at least like to think if you use
my photos you might credit the photographer and the book! I'D LIKE TO DO A
FEATURE AND CHAT WITH YOU. Regards, Ellis Nassour

Comment: I have given the photographers (or the archives) credit in most cases,
but I admit that I may have overlooked it here and there... But this can, and
will, be corrected. I will also name the source from which I got the picture.
And I have mentioned the book on the main page, below the biography section,
giving you credit for supplied information. And your book is also mentioned
several times here in the guestbook, by myself and others. /Per
Lisa! Welcome home, pet. We missed you. SOW is one of my faves... she gived it
a certain je ne sais quoi. Oops, gone all continental again. Only 16 days to
go till the Cimarron Ballroom is released. It's amazing that Patsy is *still*
giving us new material. I bet it goes platinum in no time!!! A bientot, Cath

Howdy! Back from a week of horseback riding in Colorado & got a new red cowboy
hat too! Wild event: driving thru Illinois, I heard PC on the radio for the
1st time, I Fall 2 Pieces, and we'd just passed Cline Avenue! Talk about!
Lotsa new stuff here at the site, Per, lookin' great! Welcome to David Guy,
who expressed his PC sentiments so eloquently. Jimmy, thanks again for your
updates & tales of your exciting adventures for those of us who can't join
you! And Bill, honey, my dream duet was already done: Patsy harmonizing with
herself! Regarding Song of the Week, I adore 7 Lonely Days, but I do prefer the arrangement created for the movie. Hey, I still say that the most frequently used words in PC lyrics are "blue" and "true!"

Hi all, Well, I've gone and put up a Patsy Cline tribute of my own
here. Of course,
it's not a match for this great site, nor is it intended to be. Please
have a look and drop me an e-mail with your comments. I know
there are still some problems with it. The counter isn't working

Whoa, have I been busy this week! Thursday went over to Louisville, Ky to the
Actors Theater for their production of "Always Patsy Cline". This was really
different because they did it "in the round". This is were the stage is in the
center of the room and seats are all around the stage. Only sat 300 or so. The
two actresses did a great job of moving around the stage so all of the audience
got to see the show. If you can get by and see the show do go. It is an unique
experience and wonderful tribute. The show runs till Aug 10, '97. At the show
I had material from my collection on display that the patrons could see.
Everyone loved it and was amazed. Thanks to the PR department I did my first
TV interview Monday. It was really exciting. They could not make it the nite
of the show that I attended and decided to come to my house. They wanted to
meet a super collector and fan. The even shot me while I was on this page!
July 16-18 The Galleria in Louisville Ky will have Patsy Cline Days. I will be
there Friday if anyone can stop by. Last nite Mandy Barnett was in my hometown
for a show! She put on a great show as usual. Me and Julie Jones (fellow fan
cluber) got to go backstage (which was a alley) and meet Mandy! She was so
nice and we got hang out and chat for about 20 min. Per, she does not have
access to the Internet. I had printed your pages before the show. I took them
and gave them to her. She was thrilled and really like your page. TV news: I
have seen a preview for this Tues 7-15, of "Yesterday and Today". I beleive it
is a repeat. It is called the ladies of country music. It will feature Patsy.
So if you missed the first time around catch this time. Always, Jimmy

I may be a genuine exception to this guestbook. I am a fan of heavy metal and
hard rock music almost exclusively, but even I can attest to the fact that
Patsy is simply a magnificent singer. Her voice is absolutely fantastic. You
can always identify a great singer when the music is a backup to the voice
instead of the singer just being one more insturment. Great songs... how about
"TURN THE CARDS SLOWLY", "THREE CIGARETTES IN AN ASHTRAY", "SOUTH OF THE BORDER
(down Mexico way)".

I'll go with "Lovesick Blues" as the song of the week also. I love that song!
It's the greatest. Patsy really gives that song movement. My daughter is
learning the song "Crazy". She's 2-years-old, by the time she's 3 (in a couple
of months) she'll have that song memorized. She picks up words to songs so
easily. Well, keep up the good work everyone! Always Kathy

Hi all you hosses out there! Per, the memory game is the greatest! My song of
the week is "Lovesick Blues" recorded in 1960 session 11 I think (pulling that
from the top of my head :)) I like the way she rocks the Hank Williams
standard. That song along with "Stop Look and Listen" would fit in really
well with today's country radio. It just has that dance appeal to it. Also I
have a new e-mail address: wsettle@hotmail.com Bye!

I was only introduced to the music of Patsy Cline about
three years ago, during a visit to "The Golden Guitar" in
Tamworth, New South Wales (the heart of country music in Australia).
I just had to know who the woman was with that amazing voice!
("Walking after midnight" was playing at the time).
It is such a privilege to listen to her beautiful voice,
especially as so many of the songs seem to mirror ups and
downs in my own life.
We are all so lucky that through her recordings we can still
listen to her amazing voice, and be inspired by her spirit.

I began collecting original Patsy Cline records when I was 15. That was
17 years ago. I have made several trips to Nashville, and purchased my first
5 Patsy 45 EP's at The Lawrence Bros. Western store in Nashville. Over the
years I have accumulated nearly every Decca 45 release, every Decca album and
many of the off-labels released in the 60's and 70's. My collecting wound down
several years ago when I had found nearly everything I was looking for. I still
need her first and third Coral 45 release and I have every 45 EP with cover
EXCEPT "Levin' On Your Mind". If anyone knows where I might be able to find
this, I have several items I would be willing to trade. Great website, by the
way. I am working late tonight and stumbled across it. Oh - and for those of
you who are recent Patsy Cline fans, let me tell you this... The thrill is
still the same when out of the blue she comes on the radio, it still gives you
chills when she takes her last breath at the end of "Faded Love", and it still
pisses you off that "Why Can't He Be You" and "That's How A Heartache Begins"
were not hits in her lifetime; even after almost 20 years. My phone is
614-298-8435 if anyone can help.

I have now installed a game called "The Patsy Cline Memory Game". A rather
severe limitation in the game, is that you must have Netscape v3.x to
run it. It will not function properly under Netscape v4.x, because the result
page after the game is never shown (but I hope that this will be fixed in the
near future), and it will not work at all under current versions of MS Internet
Explorer. If you want do download Netscape v3.x, click

Can anyone please enlighten me on the matter of when Patsy's parents really
got married? In the Ellis Nassour biography it says that they, according to
Hensley's diary, were married in 1929, about three years before Patsy was
born, but in Mark Bego's biography (which I, by the way, got as a gift from
Lisa Flood (thanks, Lisa!)), it says that they were married just six
days before Patsy was born... This is very confusing, to say the least...
I have Nassour's version in my biography text on the main page, simply because
I read his book first... But which version is correct? Your host:

some info to the Winchester Star in Patsy's hometown. If I hear of an article
I'll let ya know. I have heard that the NY papers have done some reviews on
the show in NY. I don't have titles and dates. Someone is sending me copies.

If she had lived, in my opinion, she would have been greater than "Streisand",
"Garland", or even someone like Mabel Mercer. As it is, she's (technically)
the greatest female "pop" singer ever.

Hey everyone, SOW; This one was on my first Patsy tape I bought. Sometimes I
think it would be a neat concept to put all the songs that have the words
"walkin'", "dream", "crazy" onto one compilation. Could be a very interesting
title! I have sent Per some pictures from Camden. If you would like copies
please email me. Also, if you're in the Louisville KY area, Actors Theatre
will be premiering their version of "Always Patsy Cline" July 10. I will be
there, please stop by and say hello. Always Jimmy, 7-5-97.
PS. I notice some people are asking about Labor Day Weekend in VA. I have
spoken with Julie Armel of the Chamber of Commerce and asked her to put some

Regarding the Songs of the Week: "Lovin' In Vain" is one of Patsy's best
performances. Full of energy. We can hear how much she loved up-tempo numbers,
especially this particular song. "Walkin' Dream" is one of my favorite
recordings from the Four-Star era. Again, an up-tempo number, showcasing the
Cline's energy and vocal prowess. What it must have been like to see and hear
her perform these songs on stage. The available radio transcriptions of "LIV"
and "WD" are the rare exception of the studio performance besting the live one.
I hope everyone has had a chance to make their "request". Thanks to Lisa and
Per for giving us this opportunity. How about including some dream duets? I,
for one, would love to hear true duets between Patsy & Jim Reeves. Since it
was rare for artists to cross labels in those days, who on Decca at the time
could have sung with the Cline? Roy Drusky comes to mind, but who else? Let's
hear your thoughts. Until next time.

Howdy buckaroos! I know it ain't Friday yet, but I'm leaving for a Colorado
vacation, and thought I'd better post the Random Song of the Week before I
skedaddle. The database has selected "Walkin' Dream", Session 8, Song #2,
12-13-57. I wasn't crazy about this one at first, but it has grown on me
because of The Singer's infectious energy. Glad to hear of the good times in
Camden, I guess I have no choice but to join y'all next year! Now, y'all be
good while Mama's gone -- keep Per busy, and don't stop listening to Patsy!
P.S. The songs y'all are adding to the Songs Page are *fantastic*!!

Hi. Just wanted to say thanks for the additional stories on the
"A Fan is Born" page. They are all great!
Keep on sending them in. It's amazing how so
many people seem to have heard Patsy's voice fleetingly on TV or radio and in
those short seconds she has stayed with them. Even if you do not think your
story is particularly interesting, I can assure you it is! Kristy, well done
on your scholarship; I hope you do well at college. Which one are you going
to? And to study what? Let us know. Ta ta for now, Cath

I wish that PowWow for Macintosh would come out because I would love to chat
about Patsy. I'm deprived from downloading PowWow. I am unable to get it. Well
I'll just have to keep reading the guestbook to see what everyone has to say.
Either that or some of you will have to e-mail me to fill me in on all the
chatting that has gone on. Sign with y'all later. Kathy

Well, it seems to me from reading over this guestbook that I missed a big hoot
in Camden! You don't know how much I know that and I really wish I could've
been there!! I would've loved it!! But when you're a mother of three there's
not much time you can get away on such trips! I love to hear about everything
that happened in Camden, it sounds like everything went great! I'm glad you
mentioned this site at Camden, I think that was a very honorable thing to do,
because Per has worked so hard and this is the best Patsy site on the web and
I think it's good that more Patsy fans can visit this site if they didn't know
about it before!
Did anyone take any pictures while in Camden? If so, I will
pay the postage to send them to Per and get them up on the site, I think it
would be great to be able to see the event of honoring Patsy 34 years after
the plane crash! I wish I could see it now! But I know that's just something
that will have to wait. Per, I'm glad you mentioned the chat line. I would like
to encourage everyone to get PowWow 32, it is free of charge and it is really
a great way to learn to meet others and plus we all get to talk together at
the same time about Patsy! It's like talking on the phone only it won't cost
near as much and we'll be typing instead of talking! Other than that it is
fun!
I have several chat programs and they are really easy to use, they come
with help features in case you get stuck but believe me you won't get stuck
because it's not that hard, so please let's all try to get PowWow 32 and let
Per know on this guestbook if you prefer Saturday or Sunday and the time for
the area in which you are in. I think this is a great idea and a chance for us
all to express even more our thoughts and feelings about the Cline and our
love for her and her music. So let's all get PowWow. Per even has a place on
this site where you can download it, it doesn't take long or much space, so
let's download PowWow and get to chatting about The Cline!!!!

Hey everyone, Well Camden was a blast! I really enjoyed myself. I want to thank
Jimmy Walker, Bill Culver, and John Griffith for making me feel right at home!
I also want to thank Amy Barrett for putting the festival together. She did a
great job. I also had a chance to meet Wade Settle, he is a really nice guy,
and a loyal Patsy fan. Everyone has made me feel right at home, and if they
don't stop bragging I am going to get a big head :) I urge all of you to visit
the crash site when you get a chance, it is now easier to find since they put
up the signs. I also have one more piece of good news! I told you a while back
I received a one year scholarship with my project on Patsy. Well, that same
scholarship is now renewable for 4 years. So basically Patsy will be putting
me through college! It's people like Bill, Jimmy, and Sue Wilden who helped to
make this possible, so I really want to thank you all for everything you have
done! Always... Kristy Barnes :)

One more time I will try to push for The Patsy Cline Chat Line. It has hardly
been used at all since I installed it. Lisa Flood and I had a nice chat for a
couple of glorious hours last Friday, and the other day I got a mail from
Donna Maggerise who also thinks that we should make more use of this feature.
It's no big deal to install PowWow in your computer! Maybe we should agree on
a time, once a week, or maybe only once a month, when we come together and
chat about Patsy and other things that might interest a Patsy fan. Due to the
time difference between the states and Europe, I think it would be best to use
either Saturday or Sunday for this, and I would suggest 6 pm, GMT. That's 8 pm
(DST) here in Sweden, and in the states, depending on where you are, this
would be somewhere between 11 am and 2 pm, or somewhere thereabout. I'm sure
we could exchange many useful thoughts during such a chat. Please reveal your
thoughts about this here in the guestbook! Your host:

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! Ok, ok. You guys don't give a hoss a chance to
catch his breath. We fans had a great time in Camden. Attendance was down this
year, but we had so much fun visiting. Bill Culver (mid america rep), John
Griffith (the only one in the bunch who can remember everything), Kristi
Barnes (her great parents came too) and I had a display of Patsy memorabilia.
We had some info on this site and the fan club to hand out. Bill and I are
jealous of Kristi. Between the two of us we have been collecting for 40 yrs.
She has amassed a great collection in just a year. She has the greatest
scrapbook. She has letters and pictures from Brenda Lee, Mel Tillis, Terri
Clark and even Bill Clinton all supporting or helping her with her history
project! It was a great pleasure to be able to help her. I am very proud of
her efforts and what she has accomplished.
Thanks to Amy Barrett and the town
they now have some directional signs to the crash site. Also Jimmy Thornton
has a covered board at the site w/ some articles pertaining to the crash. I
will get Per some pictures in the mail this week. The crowd was entertained by
Mike Snider and Hawkshaw Hawkins Jr. I had the pleasure of meeting both. Also
some songwriters from Camden did a show Fri. They wrote some songs for someone
by the name of John Michael Montgomery (ha ha). Wade, it sure was nice to meet
you and thank you for coming down! Keep those entries coming. Something I
thought would be nice for the fan club to do was to give the Chamber of Comm.
a picture of Patsy and one of her 45's to frame and hang in their office. I
also gave Jimmy Thornton a picture to use in the new board.
So in front of 200
or so people I presented them and made a speech. I mentioned this site and all
the fan club has done this year, & The Star project. I was nervous but did
pretty good. I did forget to mention one thing. So I will do it here. As I
said before Bill Culver was there. He and a great fan, Jeff Barnett are the
one's reponsible for putting the mailbox and plaque up at the crash site in
1993. Both were there when there was no gravel road. Bill was putting them up
in 100 degree heat. I personally like to think Bill had something to do w/
letting Camden know about all the people that visit the town and pay their
respects to the four that died there. Unfortunately I failed to recongize Bill
for his efforts in my presentation and interviews for the radio and paper. I
am new at this and was nervous. Bill is a pretty quiet guy and I know he is
not upset w/ me, but I would like to let all you fans know who did this when
you visit the site.
I would also like to thank Amy Barrett and her staff for
all they did this weekend. She worked very hard to have the Music Fest and to
put the signs up. If you're ever in Camden stop by and say hello. You can find
her on Hwy 70 next to IGA food store. Also please try to come to the Music
Fest. There will not always be a tribute to Patsy, Cowboy, Hawk and Randy. But
if we show an interest they will try to remember them in some way. I sorta
pushed the Patsy thing this year and that's is why they had us and did so much
for Patsy. Now I am going to get on a platform about something. It is great to
be part of a club or group and I include this site. I feel we should also be
active and show our support for our groups. So in the future make the extra
effort to attend events relating to our group and others. Do some thing in
your city. If you don't get reconigized, so what? Ya did something good and
you can be proud of yourself. The Chamber of Commerce will help you and so
will I.
Well, I think I have bared my soul to you all, but I considered ya'll
friends. I need to go and buy tickets to a Mandy Barnett show. She is coming
to my hometown!!!!! Always, Jimmy 6-30-97. PS. Per, I will get some Mandy
pictures. Someone made a comment about some banter Patsy did at the Opry. The
banter was actual from the Dixie Jubilee. I thought this too. Please excuse
any typos.

Can anybody tell me what museum in Nashville that Patsy's famous zippo lighter
is in. You know, the one that plays Dixie. I thought that it was in the Hall
of Fame, but then I read that it was in the Willie Nelson museum. I'm a little
confused. If anybody could tell me this I'd appreciate it. And also, aren't
her gold slippers, that she was wearing at the time of the crash, in a museum?

Well, dogies, lemme tell ya Camden was fabulous. It was rather hot and sultry,
but that didn't damper spirits. The highlight of the day for me was meeting
Kristy Barnes (one sharp little gal!) and Jim Walker (one heck of a guy). I
spent most of the day in the exhibit building looking at the Patsy exhibits.
Both were absolutely wonderful. I was fortunate to hear Mike Snider, and I
think that Patsy was looking down and laughing at that old hoss. He was great.
Well, I guess that I should quit taking up so much space, because I want
others to be able to take part in this. Bye! Take care, and shake a leg! Wade

Hey Folks, I first want to say happy birthday to Per and the site. Thanks man.
Keep it up. I tell you, all of the new ideas are great. You people should be
making money for this. This is perhaps the best website of any genre I've
seen. It is just superb. To Wade, man don't ever feel you have to explain your
attraction to Patsy with a sense of embarrasment. I think we all feel and
understand the things you're saying. At least I do. She is the best. My email
to you should say it all. Not to dredge up old news, but to all who sent me
email regarding the "GAMS" issue, thanks. Enough about that. I hope you are
all well, and happy. Those of you who were in Camden, tell the rest of us all
about it please. I'm dying to hear. If Per doesn't want to fill the book with
that just email me all the fun you had. I'd love to hear how it went. Anyway,
that's about it. See you soon. I'll be loving you, Always, Mark

A while ago Lisa Flood came up with a suggestion for a new page, where we can
share our thoughts about which songs we would have liked Patsy to sing, had she
lived, and that page, called The Request
Line, is now up and running! Click on the link, read about it, give it some
thought, and e-mail me the songs that you think would have suited Patsy! Your

Please help me, someone! I heard about a Patsy festival in Winchester around
labor day, when is it exactly and what does it consist of? I was told it last
four days. I need to know soon, so I can take off work! Anyone, please?

Just to let everyone know, that picture I put in the mailbox in Camden, was a
picture of Patsy that I drew. I was so proud of it that I had to leave it in
Camden. Thanks, Kathy

Hello everyone! Just got back from Tennessee. I tell ya, I did not want to
leave. I visited Camden (twice). I went back the second time and left a
picture in the mailbox. I hope that was ok, but I had to leave my mark. Hey,
whoever sees my picture send me a comment or send me some e-mail, let me know
what you think about it. I also went to Nashville, I vistied the Ryman (showed
up too late for a tour), visited the E.T. Record Shop and bought a book on
Patsy titled "I Fall To Pieces", bought a video about Patsy titled "The Real
Patsy Cline". I'm a Patsy freak also. I can't get enough of her. I made a
recording at Opryland. I sang the song "Crazy", let me tell ya, I totally
killed the song. Maybe it was because I was so nervous, I sound better (I
think) when I'm by myself. Oh well. Just want to let you know, Per, I think
this is the best page I've ever seen. Keep up the good work! Talk to everyone
again soon! Kathy

What a trip! Your page brings back so many memories of my childhood growing up
in a rural area of Maine in the fifties. Patsy's songs were on every radio in
every house, cow barn, general store and barber shop. When she died, I was
only eleven years old, but I remember feeling the pain of knowing that her
beautiful voice was forever stilled. I will always miss her.

Happy 1st Anniversary Per!!!!!!! Thanks for this awesome site and for all the
hard work you have done, we really appreciate it!!!!!!! But please, keep it
up!!!!!! Amber, I have an answer to your question about the Rainbow Road Club
which I took directly from my book "Singing Girl from Shenandoah Valley", yes
there is a picture of Patsy performing at the Rainbow Inn with the Frye's, she
was 18 at the time the picture was taken and she was onstage with Jimmy Frye,
Sonny Frye, Harold Senseney, Bobby Frye, and Buster Frye. Now this is exactly
what the book has about the Rainbow Road Club: The Rainbow Inn was torn down
in 1958 and the "Rainbow Inn" as depicted in the movie "Sweet Dreams" was
originally the Orchard Inn located on US 340 between Charles Town, West
Virginia and Berryville, Virginia. It is presently called the Rainbow Road
Club and is run by Louis Ruffner. Further north, on US 340, is a restaurant,
also run by Louis Ruffner, called Rainbow Diner and Truck Stop. So Patsy did
sing at a place called the "Rainbow Inn", it was in the movie "Sweet Dreams"
Jessica Lange as Patsy performed at the Rainbow Road Club. I can see where
something like that would confuse someone, I at first had to read over this
several times until it sunk in! Now for the description of the "Rainbow Inn"
by the book: The Frye's (George & Catherine) summer place, a shed-like
building "like an old Texas dance hall" was shingled with gray asphalt and
topped by a wavy roof. Mrs. Frye called it the Rainbow Inn. From one to two
hundred customers came out on Saturday nights, enjoyed beer and ham
sandwiches, and "let their hair down". There was also an outdoor stage and a
grassy area called Rainbow Park where concerts were held on Sunday afternoons.
Amber, I hope I have helped you in some way, it sure confused me at first too,
but this book has footnotes so I flipped to the back and read the correct info
on the whereabouts of the Rainbow Road Club, so in the movie "Sweet Dreams"
they apparently used the name Rainbow Road Club, Patsy really performed in the
Rainbow Inn which at the time was in the village of Greenwood (the address is
now 1172 Greenwood Street). Is this the same place you visited, Amber? Or did
you visit the Rainbow Road Club on US 340? These are 2 different places and
I'm curious now as to which one you were at. I hope I haven't confused you
more instead of helping you but all my info has come straight from the book.
If I can help you anymore just e-mail me, See ya'll later!!

I would just like to agree with what Wade wrote a couple of entries below.
Believe me, I know exactly how he feels. When I'm down and out or just feel
like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders, I simply think of the
Cline. I think of her strong will, her determination, and how she looked
barriers in the face and said GET OUTTA MY WAY!!! I think of Patsy as a
guardian angel too, so don't feel corny Wade. I have two big pictures of her
up on my wall and I often look up at Patsy and only wish I could be half the
person she was. Sometimes, I even cry to think of what a loss this world has
experienced from her death. My friends think I'm obsessed too or that I carry
it a bit too far, but I don't care. Loving Patsy's music helps me make it
through the rough times, and to enjoy the good times all the more......

Happy Anniversary, Per! We owe you so much gratitude for all the hard work you
do in bringing us daily doses of The Singer. Thanks to everyone who is keeping
Per busy sending in song lists & fan stories! Before I stick my hand in the
barrel & draw the Song of the Week, I have to add a comment about "Heartaches"
I neglected to mention earlier: dontcha just love in that song how she does a
little "yodel" at the end of the word "memory?" Only PC could take pop &
"country it up." The random database has just selected "Turn the Cards Slowly",
6-1-55, Session 1, Song 2. I love the intro on this! I love The Singer's
energy, she has such a good time! I love the fast-paced lyrics! Comments
anyone?

Confederate Gallery from where Patsy and other country greats did. The place
reeked of history. Thanks, Per, for providing this service to her fans. It's
great to be able to stay in touch with what's happening with Patsy... Can't

Hey everyone! :-) I have a question concerning the Rainbow Road Club.
I was in Winchester this past weekend, and I visited the
Rainbow Road Club. Now, I have been told that Patsy
played at the Rainbow Road Club and I've also been told that there's
a picture of Patsy playing that club in the book
"Singing girl from the Shenendoah Valley"...Well, there
is a pic of Patsy singing at the Rainbow Inn, is that the real
name of the Rainbow Road Club? I am sooo confused
and hope someone has an answer for me! Did Patsy
REALLY sing at the "Rainbow Road Club???" :-)
Well, that's all... Everyone, keep sending in your stories
for the "A fan is born" page! I love the stories! *Amber*

What can I say? Patsy's music is a great healer for me. All I have to is put
on any CD, and the room is lighter. That voice is so beautiful. It's as if
she's singing in your face. I keep pictures of her on my dorm room wall. I
can't help but look at her and say "Way to go, hoss!" I think that she's our
closest buddy. I could feel a little of her in me today. Someone that I had
respect in lied to me, and I told everyone that I was gonna pull a Patsy which
meant that I was gonna let that old so and so know what I thought of him, and
I wasn't gonna pull any punches. This may sound corny or whatever, but I feel
like she's a guradian angel for me. Does that sound weird? So many people make
fun of this ole boy because I'm so wrapped up in her music. I wish they
understood how respected she is. It's their loss. People say I'm obsessed, but
I just think that's devotion to a wonderful star. I listen to her while I
study my psychology. There is rap playing up and down the halls here, and when
the folks next door blare their rap, that's when I crank up the Patsy. That's
giving them a lesson in culture! :) Jimmy, please e-mail me. I want to hear
from you. Bye everyone!

on the "Live at the Cim". I have heard that "Variety" has an article on a new
Patsy related movie. It is titled "Doing Time w/ Patsy Cline". It is being
released in Australia, I don't know about U.S. release or Sweden one either.
Keep ya'll informed on this. A note about Camden all activities will be at the

Well, call me obsessive, but I just bought the Patsy Cline Story on CD, and I
own the box set. I guess that that is a condensed version of discs 3 and 4
from the set. I think that I'm adicted to Patsy Cline, and there is no turning
back now. This ole hoss has been led to water and he took a big drink.
Well, enough of that. I still want to hear from all you fans out there.
I wish that there was a college course on Patsy. Maybe that's an idea that
colleges should consider. Maybe the difficulty level would depend on how
intense we have followed the artist through the years. What do you think? Do
you think I'm a quack? Well I do too! :-)

Hey all you hosses out there!!!!! I haven't signed in for awhile now but
believe you me I have been here everyday reading and checking out all the new
stuff!!! I love the new "A Fan Is Born" page and have laughed nonstop at some
of the stuff, if you haven't checked it out yet please do so, it's great!
Also, I noticed that Per, you put up the pictures that I sent you of Patsy's
belongings and her albums from the Grand Ole Opry Museum in Nashville, and I
have to tell you when I saw those pictures I just sat here in my chair and
froze. It is so hard to believe those pictures look that good on a web page, I
started freaking out and I thank you tremendously for putting them up on your
page, it really meant alot to me to be able to share what I have seen about
Patsy and share it with others, and I hope in some measure that Patsy will be
proud. I hope everyone will visit the related places page and check the pics
out. I thought they were great when I took them but I tell you they look 100
times better on these web pages!!!!! Let me know what you folks think of these
and other pics on this site, I think all the pictures are wonderful, I myself
haven't visited a site yet where there are so many beautiful and plentiful
pictures I might add, it's just great!!!! Im just bouncing off the walls right
now, because I'm so excited about the pictures and the new pages being added
to this site, and I would like to comend Per and everyone else who helps
contribute to this site for all of us to enjoy and I want to send out a
personal thanks to all of you from me, because I think this site is getting
more and more awesome by the day and I love to visit as often as I can to
check out all the new stuff!!!!! It's great and I think the Cline would be
mighty proud of you all also!!!!!!! Long live the Cline!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've gotta say that Lee Ann Womack is one fine singer. Check out her CD
on Decca. I was listening to Patsy sing "True Love" and "That's my Desire"
last night, and I almost broke down crying because that voice is so captivating.
It's a neat experience, and nothing matches that. I told Bill that I've gotta
have my daily dose of Patsy because it's like mornings without coffee and
Saturday nights without the Grand Ole Opry. All you folks touch my heart with
all these comments. E-mail me. I will gladly answer all! :-)

It's nice to see that people get to help and submit new ideas. It keeps the
site fresh and exciting. I really do enjoy this site, and I think that Patsy
would be tickled that her fans are contributing to keep her memory alive. I

What songs would we have liked to have heard by "The
Cline"? Hmmm... Well, Lisa, how about: "When I Fall In
Love", "When The Tingle Becomes A Chill", "Lock, Stock and
Teardrops", "Make The World Go Away", "Funny, How Time
Slips Away", "Memory" (from Cats) are a few that come to
mind. I'm sure we all would have liked to have had Patsy
record "Blue". And, the dream album would have been
"Christmas from Cline", featuring "Blue Christmas", "Silent
Night", "Silver Bells", and "White Christmas". If only.
But, we do have the songs she did leave us. Speaking of
which, S.O.W.: "Love Letters In The Sand". Lush,
heartbreaking, beautiful. Much better than Pat Boone's '57
version. Wade, did you get the "Live Broadcasts" CD. What
is on it, and is it any good? Let me know.

was to e-mail them to me, and then I'll put them up on the forthcoming page.
/Per
Could not send my top five on other page, so here are my 5 choices that turned
me into a Patsy Fan forever. "Sweet Dreams", "Crazy", "Walking after Midnight",
"Just a Closer Walk With Thee", "A Poor Mans Roses". Julie, you said something
about Elvis on page 5... I have some new info on him, but dont wish to say

Well, howdy folks! I just played the "Always" CD (MCA 27069). When I first
heard it, I was skeptical because of all the overdubs, but it is now one of my
favorite CDs of the Cline. There is a country station here in Murray. They
obviously don't appreciate the older stars because they sure spent time taking
their digs at some of them. These 2 DJs were commenting on the TNN Country
Awards, and one said that he saw Eddy Arnold in the audience. He said that he
thought the was dead. Another guy said that if wasn't that he oughta be. I
want to know how you folks feel about this? I know that if our main hoss Patsy
was here, that she would give them a piece of her mind and then some. I feel
like giving them hell for it because they don't realize that if it weren't for
the older stars where would today's stars be? By the way--have you hosses
heard LeeAnn Womack? Bought her new CD today and it is great. She will be here
the 5th of July along with Mark Chesnutt-and it's free.
I know this didn't have alot to say about Patsy, but that comment about Eddy
Arnold ticked me off. Oh well. Bye everyone. See ya at Camden!

Howdy folks. If I had known what a contreversy over venacular I would create,
I'd never have said any thing. But anyway thanks to Miss Information, and
Amber. I have never heard the expression before, so naturally I thought that
AG was referring to her dress, her looks, and then to her breasts. Sorry, I
didn't mean to offend anyone. I still think it was damn funny. I still would
have liked to have seen her face. Oh well, my mistake. And Amber, watch for my
email. See you soon. And Per and Cath, you two should do this for a living you
have the best ideas. The new song page is a marvelous idea. Anyway til next

that's not bad either! And Jimmy Walker came up with the idea for the
Achievements page. Fair is fair! The rest

Howdy buckaroos! Today's Song o' the Week is extra special. Per & I put our
heads together (and it made the weirdest *thoink* sound, like 2 coconuts) and
want to create yet *another* page with your help! This will be a page devoted
to songs we'd like to hear Patsy sing. Send your suggestions to Per, keeping
in mind the following: 1. Let's see how broad we can make her: think rock,
heavy metal, r&b, c&w, jazz, pop, show tunes. Remember she wanted to do a show
tunes album? 2. Forget gender, think of male songs too. 3. If you need to
qualify your answer, keep it short. Example: "I vote for Song X, but a slow
version." 4. Think old *and* think 1997. 5. "All of the songs that X ever
sang" is OK, but give us a few favorite examples. 6. If an artist/song is
relatively unknown, help us out! 7. Of course we'd like to hear PC sing every
song ever written, but do try to narrow it down, be specific. Think of songs
that you *really* would like to hear Hoss perform. This will be so much fun,
y'all. Thank you so much, Per!

Ohhhh Per, I just love the Stories page!!!!! Keep 'em
coming, I just sent mine in! Mark, about the "Birth of

to e-mail me about Patsy, that would be great, I'd love
to hear from ya! Okay, one more thing, I have started
working on a homepage dedicated to Patsy, the link is where

Hey folks. I finally bought the "Birth of a Star" CD. It is AB FAB. I love it
much more than the other one. The dialogue is twice as good. Hilda has a
speaking voice so similar to Patsy's. It's too neat to hear it. And what's
with Arthur Godfrey commenting on Patsy's Gams (I assume he was referring to
her breasts). That was too funny. I would have loved to have seen her face.
What a hoot, she seemed too surprised to fire back at him in her usual Patsy
style. Anyway a quick thanks to Per for publishing my story in the new page,
and thanks to Cath as well for the idea. How perfect can you be. It is so cool
to read the various stories. Until next time, I'll be loving you always. Mark

Howdy all you hosses out there! I just received my copy of the 2CD set of the
Four Star material, and lemme tell you it is some powerful stuff. If you don't
have it yet, I highly recommend it! Hi to Julie, Charlie and Randy! I hope to
meet you all at the festival in Camden. Meeting you will be just great as
meeting ole Patsy herself. (I know, bad grammar! :-)) I need to study, so any
of you dogies out there please e-mail me! I'll gladly answer all. Bye!

I am very honored to sign the guestbook! I have browsed the web site on Patsy
Cline and I'm pleased with all the photos and information about her life. I
also impersonate her. I am currently in a variety show called "Bob Glass
Revue". I am always looking for more information on the "queen of country",
Patsy Cline, and would appreciate any information you can give me on contests,
shows, contacts to help me boost my singing career, or anything that you may
find interesting. I am glad to see that there are others that appreciate her
beautiful, inspiring,and powerful voice. Thank you and keep up the good work
in helping Patsy live on.

I've loved Patsy ever since I heard of her through the movie "Sweet Dreams".
Since that time I have collected numerous recordings and just enjoy sitting
back and listening to her flowing voice. She is truly missed by many! What an
inspiration to others!! "Crazy" is one of my favs as well as "Tra le la le la
Triangle" for a silly reason I won't go into here.

Hi all you dogies out there. I just wanted to leave you with the S.O.W., and
it is "Ain't no Wheels on this Ship". I think she is in one of her sassier
moments on this song. Pure rockabilly and 100% country all the way. Cyall
later! :-)

With any luck I plan to be at the Patsy Cline festival in Camden, but the only
thing that holds me back is directions. Can anyone help me in that area? And
to Bill, thank you for the answers. By the way, are the 1959 and 1960 sessions
in stereo on the "Crazy Dreams" set? It doesn't matter, just want to know.
Hope to see lots of you at the festival. Please write me in care of Patsy or
in care of the blues.

Wade, the MCA album "Songwriter's Tribute" (MCAD-25019)
contains the stereo version of "You're Stronger Than Me"
and "Today, Tomorrow and Forever" (MCAD-1463) contains the
stereo version of "Gotta Lof of Rhythm (In My Soul)". I
know the "Songwriter's Tribute" album is still in print,
but I'm not sure about "Today, Tomorrow and Forever".
Check the MCA Nashville web site under Patsy Cline. It
lists all of the albums currently available.

I love to sing Patsy's songs. I quite often get standing ovations with Crazy
and I go out Walking. I feel close to Patsy and many people say that they can't
believe I sound so much like her.

Ashley -- It took awhile for me to get information from the fan club. It is
run by real people, not a corporation, and it may take a little longer than
ususal to get a reply. Once you get your information, it is worth the wait!

I was wondering about the Patsy Cline Fan Club. A couple of months ago, I got
the address for it and wrote a letter requesting information, and also how to
join. I am kind of disappointed because I never heard back from anyone. Does
anyone have any information? I would really like to join. Thanks!

This site just keeps getting better and better... Thank you Per, for the hard
work you put into this for Patsy's fans everywhere. We are all anxiously
awaiting the release of "Live at the Cimarron Ballroom". I hope someone keeps
digging in all the archives of the Grand Ole Opry, WSM, TV stations, etc. to
get out all the possible recordings of Patsy. We can just never get enough of
her. It's so great to see Julie and Charlie check in here from time to time
and for them to keep us informed. I had the privilege to see "Always, Patsy
Cline" with Mandy Barnett at the Ryman in Nashville in 1995, and in a couple
of weeks I'm going to see the Chicago version. To all of Patsy's family and
her many, many fans and friends, God be with you, Always!

Well, Hoss, I sure am glad I found your page! I'm going to be playing Patsy in
a production of "Always, Patsy Cline". I start rehearsal next month. I've been
reading "Honky Tonk Angel". I'm not too crazy about it, so it's great to get
some suggestions for other sources. I have a tape of the A&E Biography, but
haven't seen it yet. I have the complete cd collection. It's inspiring to
see this great page devoted to her and to read the comments of fans 34 years
after her death. Thanks for the help you've given me with my work!

Amber, I'm glad you approve!!! I'm really interested to know how all of
Patsy's fans came to love her so much. It's more than the music, I think. The
way I got to 'know' her is just too strange, I feel, to have been a coincidence.
There was a very strange occurrence the first time 'Sweet Dreams' was shown on
TV over here. I don't think I've mentioned it on the guestbook before. I
recorded the film as it wasn't available on video at the time and when I went
to watch the recording I froze. Right after the film finished, one of the
first reports of the Lockerbie jet disaster (where the PanAm jet was blown up
over Scotland) came up on the screen. It was SO creepy that I had just watched
'Sweet Dreams' and here was this other terrible thing happening. The area I
live in is not very far from the site of the bombing and we had wreckage from
the plane in nearby fields. I still get the creeps when I think about it. I
like to think that maybe the spirits of Patsy and the others were there to
help the victims. It's my way of coping. Sorry to be so macabre. It really was
so weird. Anyway, write to Per with your Patsy stories. I'm sure there are
lots of people out there who have a good tale to tell and I'm a sucker for
romance!!!! See ya, Cath
