A Happy New Year to Per and all of you fans out there. This
is Julie and I just wanted to stop by and chat for a minute.
I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for all the kind
words and rememberances, the flowers and cards, and all the
prayers sent up on our behalf since the death of my
Grandmother. Her death was certainly a sudden shock, even
though when someone has lived a long life you know this day
will come. I can only thank the Lord for the assurance that
she is in heaven and there will never be sadness or pain or
sorrow for her ever again. She is missed tremendously by us
all. And yes, I can hardly hold my heart in my chest when I
think of the loved ones she is seeing again! I pray for the
day when we all get to join in on this reunion! My family and
I did make the trip to Winchester for the funeral. I saw
many family and friends that I don't see often. That's the
way with these type of gatherings. Please do remember us in
your prayers. My Aunt Sylvia and Uncle John and the rest of
the family will have a much bigger void in their lives than
myself, since they were there with her, so close. I have
found myself thinking of calling and chatting...only to
remember that I can't do that now. I will keep my family
connections through other family members now. Grannie was
my "home base" with the family. Thank you again for everything.
I wanted to share something with you; a song I heard a couple
of weeks ago. It really blessed me, and there may be others
that would be blessed as well. It's called "Going Home For
Christmas" by Steven Curtis Chapman. It's on his Christmas
album. He is a wonderful Christian artist. This song tells how
"She's home for Christmas" and how "She'll be face to face
with Jesus, as we celebrate His birth" and how she'll be with
the ones she loves. It is a beautiful song. If you have the
chance, you should hear it. The best to you all, and again
Thank You for your love and support.
Julie and the family

I have been a fan of Patsy Cline since the summer of 1986. I just love her
music and my boys and I enjoy singing together to the lyrics. My boys are 12
and 10 and like Patsy too. (Imagine That!) My boys think that I sound like
Patsy, (I don't think so). I just received two more CD's for Christmas and was
estatic. Some of the songs listed in this website say they are on LP, have all
of her songs been put on CD yet? Happy New Year to all -- Have a SAFE
Holiday!

Patsified site. Alexander,
Johnny did not take that photo though he did take others. The photo used was
tribute to Mrs H. that Lisa did, she used a photo of Patsy and Mrs. H when
Patsy was in Vegas. RJ --- With any luck I typed the URL correctly. If I did
not, use the links page to find Lisa's site. Always, Jimmy

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy holiday and wonderful
New Year. It is beginning to feel like Christmas in KY. It is very cold and we
had some snow flurries today! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday music...
I would like to point out--if you have heard the song "All I Want for
Christmas" by V. Vance and the Valients, the girl doing the lead vocals is
Lisa Layne. She has portrayed Patsy in the Nashville production of "A Closer
Walk". Notice those booming voices. Lisa returns next year for the third
season in Nashville of "ACW". She has been so thrilled with the reception that
Lexington has given her as the play "All I Want..." I have been emailing her
husband about this. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Always, Jimmy Walker

I am so very sorry to hear that Mrs. Hensley passed away!
Last week when I got a letter in the mail from Jimmy Walker
that said she died I didn't know what to think. I was so
shocked and sad. Last summer I went down to Nashville and
met Charlie. He was so nice!! I was planning on going to
Winchester this summer so I could meet Hilda. Always, A. Linton

The last week has been one of tremendous sadness for the Hensley, Patterson
and Dick families, and for Patsy Cline fans around the world, as we bid
goodbye to Mrs. Hilda Hensley. I know how difficult it is losing someone
during the holidays, as I lost my mother in December 1986. We can be reassured
that Mrs. Hensley has come home and has been reunited with Patsy.
I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Hensley just this past September at the
annual Patsy Cline Memorial Foundation Banquet in Winchester. We spoke only
briefly as she was busy attending to banquet arrangments and greeting many of
Patsy's fans from around the world. Although tiring, it was clear that she did
enjoy this evening and the opportunity to lend someone a helping hand by
presenting an annual scholarship in Patsy's name. Mrs. Hensley had handcrafted
many items such as bonnets, aprons, vests and soft-sculptured dolls which were
sold as fund raising items. I am honored to have one of her bonnets, and I am
thankfun I could give a small helping hand to her most cherished cause.
Rest in peace, Mrs. Hensley.

I was very sad to hear about the death of Patsy Cline's
mother Hilda Hensley. Although I never met Hilda, I'm sure
she was a great woman in the same image of her daughter.
As all of you have said here, at least now she is in a
peaceful place with her daughter, what a happy reunion
it must have been for the both of them.
Although I was in Winchester in 1997 I never had the
chance to meet her, and what a loss it is on my part.
I had the chance, but never took advantage of that chance.
Take care everyone.

Like all of you, my sympathy goes out to the Hensley Family.
It is hard to believe I just saw Mrs. H. a few months back.
She looked good and was happy to see everyone come on behalf of
Patsy for the Memorial Banquet in Winchester, VA. Always, Jimmy W. 12-13-98

rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls
of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen.

I was greatly saddened to hear of the death of Patsy's mother, Mrs. Hilda
Hensley. My heart goes out to Julie and Randy and the family during this sad
time. It's always hard when a loved ones passes on but during the holiday
season, it is especially bad. My prayers will be with them. I know Julie
believes in the Lord and I hope she can take some consolation in the fact that
her grandmother is not really gone, but just resting in a more peaceful place,
waiting to see her again one day. Although it is sad, I have to smile just a
little bit when I think about how happy Patsy and her mom must be right now.
What a reunion they must be having in heaven!

I just got an e-mail from Julie Fudge, containing some very very sad news,
indeed... Thursday, Dec 10th, on the afternoon, Julie's grandmother (Patsy's
mother), Hilda Hensley, passed away... Only this short statement will be
published, for the time being, according to Julie's wishes. This is a very sad
day, indeed... Our thoughts are with you and your family, Julie, during this
time of great loss and sorrow... /Per

Gosh guys, it's been awhile since I put an entry in here! God, is it me, or is
the time flying by? Well, sounds like from everybody that that new book is out
on Patsy! Well, I guess I better get with the times and go buy it! Right? Am I
right? LOL! Well, it's good to be back here signing in and the page is still
looking good! Oh, I saw a video on CMT the other day. It was a video of Patsy
singing "Crazy". Well, I immediately had to quit doing what I was doing and
watch it! It was great! Well, guys, I'm gonna go check that book out now.
Always, Kathy. Oh, BTW, Julie, I have a question for you. When will all of us
fans be able to e-mail you? :)

Hey all, I have heard the new book--"The Real Patsy Cline" by Doug Hall is
available and being shipped by amazon.com. I got my copy a few weeks ago. It
is wonderful. The book is based on the interviews for the two Patsy videos.
The book details the interviews more, and there are some that were not used in
the videos. There are 40 b/w photos. This site gets mentioned in the book. The
pictures of Patsy's houses taken by me were used from this web site. They
turned out beautifully. Happy Holidays, Jimmy W 12-8-98

Looking to the future, I see more potential events that would beautifuly
demonstrate Pasty's position as "forever" leading future country western
singers and--composers who provide the platform/stage. Her heart and soul will
always be present whenever soneome plays her songs, remembers her, and
mentions her qualities. This page is a perfect sample. I won the Patsy Cline
painting and have it centered on center wall in my office. People love coming
past and looking at her. I feel truly blessed to share this space with her.
Best of holiday greetings and good times to all Patsy's fans and family now
and for years to come.

Hey all, it has been awhile. I forgot to mention a wonderful show that aired
last night on TNN. Hopefully it will be repeated soon. It was 5th Annual
Evening of Country Greats. On this show they spotlighted Harlan Howard and
Owen Bradley. Collin Raye sang "I Fall to Pieces". Also Brenda Lee was
spotlighted. Anytime this show is on you can expect to see the great country
stars remembered in with honor. Always, Jimmy Walker 12-2-98

My name is Vicky and I'm from Kansas City, Mo. I'm a 21 year old college
student at Northwest Missouri State University, but my obsession with my
girl Patsy began at the tender age of eight. I watched "Sweet Dreams" with
my mom and at the end of the movie I was singing the songs and trying to
immitate her. My mom looked over at me and was floored by how close of a
resemblence I have to her. I have never done any professional recordings of
her songs, but I would love to someday. I read from someone on the list that
they can't stand bad impersonations... well, make that for me too. If anyone
is a die hard Patsy fan, in the K.C, Mo. area, than write to me at

I like to say a big hello to everyone here!! I'd like
to say to Christi Terry that although people today
think the past was a male dominant world it really wasn't
at all. Women in the fifties, and early sixties were
pretty much able to do anything they wanted, although
in those days somethings were unheard of in the public
life. Patsy Cline did play somewhat of a role in
opening up doorways for singers of today, but not as much
as most people think. I myself have been a huge fan of
Patsy's since 1985, but I know that she was more noted
for her big beatuiful voice than anything else. People
today try to conjure up ideas to how, and why Patsy
may have played a rule in opening doors for todays
female singers in all types of music. She may have very
well done that for some female singers in her day, but
actually it's her legacy that as opened those doors
through the years after her death. And also with her
recent popularity boom of the 80's, and 1990's most people
would natural think she was responsible for others
success in the music business. I'm not trying to be a
hypocrite, but she sometimes is given more credit than
anyone could possibly do in one lifetime.
Take care...

Comment: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones, Julie! Nice to hear
from you again! /Per
I am a big fan of the late miss Cline! I love country music
and I love miss Cline! I am a 16 year old girl that's a
wanna-be song-writer, and singer. I think women like miss
Cline has made the road to Nashville a little less hard! In
her time, all women did was set home and take care of the kids.
[Not that there's anything wrong with that, if it's what
you want to do] but back then what you wanted didn't matter,
because you were a female. So we all need to give miss Cline,
and the others a lot more respect than what we do... Thanks,
miss Cline, for all that you did!!! With all respect and honor,

Cindy, recordings of Patsy's appearances on the various Arthur Godfrey shows
during 1957-58 were released in 1996 on a CD called "Birth of A Star" from
Razor & Tie Records. However, the CD features only Patsy and Arthur
Godfrey. No one else. The CD was made from transcription disks Patsy bought
from a company in New Jersey. Without those, there would be no way to hear
these performances as the video footage has been lost/destroyed.

performed. My father and his band played and sang on the
same show but before Patsy went on. The date I've been

Comment: Patsy was born at the Winchester Memorial Hospital, but the family
didn't live in Winchester at the time. They moved to Winchester when Patsy
(or "Ginny", as she was called then), was in the eighth grade. Just after she
was born, the family lived outside of Elkton, just as you said. They moved
nearly 20 times between the time when Patsy was born and when they moved to
Winchester. /Per
Does anyone have a copy of the A&E biography T.V. show they did on Patsy?
I'd like to aquire a copy for my moms' birthday. Thanks in advance, MikeB.

Hi everyone!!!! I've written here a few times but I decided to write again
because I need some advice??? I'm 16 and I sing Patsy. I won a talent show by
singing "Back In Baby's Arms" and "Foolin' Around". The prize was a $1,200
recording session in Nashville, TN. I went down there and made a demo tape of
12 Patsy songs. The engineer said I'm the first one he's heard to ever come
close to Patsy's voice since her. I also met with Don Gibson, a record producer
who offered me a recording contract, it's still standing. Well, my question
was..... many people told me a should write to the city of Winchester and send
a tape asking if I may sing there for Patsy Cline. I have talked to many people
and they agreed I had a great chance. But, I don't know how to get the number
or anything??? Can anyone help me??? Thanks. Sincerely Yours, Erica Dawn.
P.S. Per,..... I love the site, have you thought of becoming the "OFFICAL PATSY

For those of you looking for the original recording of "Blue", I realized after
looking at my LP cover that I had given the wrong number. The correct number is
SLP-9-409, and the title is "Country Music Hall of Fame Volume 7". It also
contains "Just out of Reach" by Patsy. Sorry for the wrong number, and if I can

New to the news stand is "Country Weekly". This week they feature the Legends
and of course Patsy is included! For all you Mandy Barnett fans, TNN's "This
Week In Country Music" may feature her tomorrow night, 10-31-98. They did a
small story about her new Sire Rec. CD last night on "Today's Country".
Happy Halloween!! Jimmy W 10-30-98

About the song "Blue", it was written by Bill Mack and the copyright is Ft.
Knox Music, which is what Starday songs are under. Kenny Roberts, a yodeler,
recorded it for Starday in 1966, and is available on Starday album SLP-407,
"Country Music Hall of Fame Volume 7". It is a very good recording and I feel
that is the way Patsy would have sung it had she recorded it. You can take a
look at the LP cover on my homepage on the Starday gallery. See yall later,

There was a male singer who recorded "Blue" for Starday Records in the late
'60's or early '70's (sorry, but I don't remember his name). Bill Mack never
pushed the song himself after Patsy's death, but his publishing company did.
The subject of "Blue" came up at the Fan Club get-together over Labor Day
weekend. I was told that Charlie Dick was working for Starday at that time
the song was recorded and is reported to have been involved with the session
in some manner. I was told he was the producer, but I can't verify that.
Someone else have more info. on this?

Howdy, my name is Ed and I was wondering... LeAnn Rimes does a song called
"Blue", but I am sure I heard it before, did Patsy Cline record this song
before?? If so, what was the album name and how could I get a copy?
Thank you for your time. Ed Hotte (aka Ed the Magnificent) (but not too
bright) :)

Comment: "Blue" was written for Patsy by Bill Mack, but Patsy never got a
chance to record it... As far as I know, Bill Mack sat on the song until he
could find a singer that he thought could do the song justice, and that singer
is LeAnn Rimes. I have not heard of any recording prior to LeAnn's. Maybe
someone else has any more info on this? /Per
Hello everyone. Hope Everyone is well. As you know I am a die hard Patsy fan.
Nothing bugs me more than to hear poor imitations. But...
I finally found one that impressed me. A friend and fellow Patsy fan sent me
a tape with a lady by the name of Logan Wells singing Patsy Cline songs.
It was the closest I've ever heard. And I'm hard to impress. Then I
disscovered that she (Logan Wells) has her own web site. I would recommend
you look it up and give a listen. It's really good. Well just thought I'd
pass that on. Must run. Your friend and fellow fan. Janice

Per, I have a question to ask of you. How are you able to
post your pictures of Patsy Cline so clearly? I've been
coming to this site for a good long time now, and have
noticed, compared to other PC sites that yours remains to
have the clearest. This is not to say other sites are bad,
but yours always seems to be the best. And I should add that your
site will always be number 1 on my list of favorite Patsy
Cline sites. Sincerley...

Comment: Thanks for your kind words, Shane! Well, I put down a lot of time
in making the picture files. I always scan the pictures in 24-bit color, even
if the original is b/w. I use a resolution of 150-200 dpi, while many others
use only 72 dpi or something, and I use one of the best photo editing programs
there is: Photoshop. I put down quite a lot of time in making each picture,
by tuning it into the correct brightness/contrast and the best possible
color adjustment. When it is necessary, and possible, I also use the
sharpening filter to make the picture sharper. This is always done when I
have scanned the picture from an original photo on real photo paper, but it
is often not possible to sharpen the picture if it is scanned from a
newspaper or a magazine, because the structure in the paper often gives
moiré patterns in the picture, and in that case the sharpen filter makes
it even worse... When I am thru with the picture I save it in Targa 24-bit
format, and finally I convert it into JPEG using the CJPEG.EXE program from
the makers of the JPEG format, and I choose a quality that makes the picture
file relatively small, but still not losing too much in picture quality. I
think many people make the mistake that they compress the picture too much
when they make the JPEG file, thus losing a lot of quality, and some people
even takes a JPEG file, opens it in an editing program, and does something
with it, and then resaves it in JPEG format again, and thereby losing even
more picture quality. I never do that. JPEG is a data lossable format, and
a picture should never be compressed into JPEG more than once! Therefore I
always keep the original Targa versions on my hard disk. /Per

WOW, where do I start with Patsy? Have been a fan of Patsy's for centuries,
as it seems... So much so that I won't "sing" nothing but Patsy Cline when I
karaoke and I try desperately to emulate her beautiful voice. Had I lived in
the era the day she died, I would have taken her place on that dreadful nite,
so that she would still be singing today... There are female singers that are
great! But they can never take the place of Patsy. She is my # one female
artist, her voice will never leave my heart... God Bless you, Patsy Cline, you
will live forever... God Bless you, Matt.

It's been a long time since I submitted to the forum but here goes.
I still believe Patsy is the best. There are many up and coming young
singers and I'll give them thier due. Many of them are very good but
most have a long way to go to reach Patsy's level of singing.
Did you ever wonder, if Patsy had lived, what her music would be like now?
Would it have changed to go with the times like so many do?
I like to think she would have followed the same line of music she had.
God knows she'd have had enough (has enough) fans to keep her going.

busy, busy, as most of you are, I'm sure. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all
about Bill's Winchester trip. I felt as though I had actually attended! I am
very excited the new book is available, and equally excited about the Patsy
Cline figurine. It'll be tough deciding between the 5" and 8" Patsy. I'm still
awaiting my copy of Bego's biography from The Nashville Collection. I sent the
money in June, and I have yet to receive the book!

Walden Books. It costs something like $12.00. The women
working the front desk told me that the book was due to hit

Patsy Walen, I'm amazed! Can someone explain why we've been told at Amazon
that the book won't be available until December, yet B&N has it right
now?? Also, Kelly, hang on to your money when it comes to the Jubilee video.
I sent my payment in April, the check has been cashed, but still no video.
I wrote them a threatening letter Homesick-Texan style a month ago and *still*
no video. Anyone have any other suggestions? These fellas work out of a post

Hi ya'll! Haven't been able to stop by here for a while.....and it is good to
see so many new Patsy fans sharing their memories and feelings about Patsy and
her songs. I just got back from on the road with RAY PRICE......it was such an
honor opening for this country music legend.....Ray was friends with
Patsy......and I enjoyed meeting and talking with him after the shows. He and
his crew were very kind to me. I was asked to include 5 or 6 Pasty Cline
renditions in my opening act for Ray......which I did and got a roaring
applause on each song from the audiences........ "Crazy", "Walkin' after
Midnite", "Heartaches", "Always".........and the one I love best lately is
"Leavin' on Your Mind".......Patsy, I hope you were there in spirit.......as
we all still love you and admire the talent you shared with us. I feel so
proud that people associate my voice with my all time favorite female singer!

down there for Patsy's sake, buy Patsy souvenirs, eat at the restaurants that
Patsy worked/ate in, buy even more souvenirs, buy film to take pictures of
anything and everything Patsy related, and most of all, pay big bucks to get
into their PC museum. It all has to do with money. But, this is just my opinion

I started listening after I visited the Country Hall of Fame. I find her voice
very soothing and relaxing after a very stressful week of Graduate School here
at Florida State. I hope to see the movie about her, and I really do believe
she was a great person after all that I have read. Keep up the nice work on

Jimmy W, just to let you know I did get your letter, I will
be writing you shortly, sorry for the long pause since the
last letter. I have been extremely busy lately, so I do
apologize for that. Frank, I can understand your feelings
toured the town of Winchester. If that would have been me
visiting Winchester back in 1980 and heard rude remarks
pertaining to Patsy I would have been very offended. I'm
not sure what I would have said to them in response.
Therefore I do in someways believe your comments. Commercially,
yes Patsy has done very well in her numbers with record sales.
And yes, this would indeed attract people to Winchester.
I myself was attracted to Winchester in 1997, along with my
then girlfriend. However I don't think that Winchester has
gained economically to the point were everyone in the town
has benefited money wise. Patsy Cline's popularity is now
by far at it's highest, however I don't believe everyone
that listens to Patsy knows were she's from, and in alot
of cases some people don't even care. Patsy Cline's
popularity comes from her great voice, not her hometown.
Well, I'll move on. Welcome aboard!!!! to all those new
entries here at this site. It's always nice to here from
new people. Take care everyone!!!!!

Patsy has always been an inspiration to me. I remember the first time I ever
heard her beautiful voice on the radio. Ever since then she's been no.1! She's
helped me through some rough times in my life. When I'm having a bad day, I
listen to songs and it reminds me there is still something in this world that
is beautiful and pure. Patsy' biggest fan, Patty Crocker. P.S. Would like to

I still get really perturbed to see that Winchester, Virginia is suddenly
pro-Patsy. I would be curious to hear from someone from that area of the
country to explain why Winchester has gone from being "ashamed" of Patsy (as
they truly were when I visited this sleepy town in 1980 and 1982) to being so
pro-Patsy as they are now. I say this, only because I believe that they are
doing it only for the proven commercial value that Patsy's memory now holds.
I must ask these tough questions for, I feel if Patsy were still alive, she
would say --- "Hoss, this ol' Virginia gal gave up on Winchester about the
same time they gave up on the Cline, believe you me!".....Can anyone give me
some perspective on this that would make me want to visit Winchester? I have
boycotted the town since the last time I was there and the name "Patsy Cline"
was a bad word to most of the hometown folks! Thanks. Per, your site is
great.

job providing all kinds of details. You might look for some books on Patsy.
While they may not be 100% correct maybe you can get to feel the real Patsy.
There are also 2 videos, "The Real Patsy Cline" and "Remembering Patsy" that
are very insightful. Patsy's widower and children were involved in these.

First off I would like to congratulate both Bill Cox
and Jimmy Walker for their writings pertaining to
the Patsy festival in Winchester, VA. They were both
very informative,and said many interesting things.
Again I would like to say I am sorry I missed these
events this year, and will try to do my best in attending
them in 1999. I missed out in meeting all of you that
attended, hope to meet you all next year. Lisa, I know
that frustrating feeling you must be having by waiting
and waiting for that video to arrive. May?? that seems
longer than I had to wait. I ordered in I believe
March of this year, and received my copy (after the
nasty letter) around June. The best thing you can do
is to send a copy of your cancelled check along with
a letter explaining to them what happened. I even
highlighted signatures on my check to further show
my anger. I caution anyone ordering this video of
Patsy Cline singing from "Jubilee USA". I'm not saying
they are not a good company, because I don't know much
about them. However Lisa, you can rest to sure you will
receive your VHS Video shortly after you send a letter.
I did 2 days after I sent mine.
Hey everyone!! About that sales figure 1 Million
for "The 1991 Box collection". That's great to hear.

About ten years ago, I was asked to sing something for karioke night.
I sang "Crazy", and they went crazy, telling me what a great voice I had!
But if anything, it was not my voice, but the remembrance of a voice
so passionately rich with melody that gave me the inspiration. I have been
inspired by Patsy Cline's music since I first heard her deep, clear voice.
No one is better. No one will replace her. She was and is the greatest country singer
of all time. All others, only followed her lead. Happy Belated Birthday, Patsy...
Julie, do you want to talk about your experiences with your Mom on my radio
show? Email me if interested, it would be a great interview, and one I would
cherish. God Bless you.

Hey all, thought I'd better drop a note about Winchester. It was fun as usual,
getting to see old friends and meeting news ones. Bill Cox, Amber and I all
got to finally meet one another. Friday was the auction/dinner for the musuem.
Lots of money was raised by selling autographed celebrity pictures, movie
memoribilia and of course Patsy memorabilia. Sat was our fan club Luncheon and
then picnic. We eat alot this weekend! This was really casual. Mario Muniz
spoke briefly about the Hollywood Star--this will be done next year sometime
during May-Aug. Sun Geo. Hamilton IV was kind enough to have a small tribute
to Patsy were he told many stories and sang a song or two. We all enjoyed his
stories. Then we headed to Patsy's gravesite where the Hensley family had a
small gravesite service. One thing noticed was a small plane circling above
briefly. Then Mrs Hensley had a banquet for the P C Memorial Foundation and
awarded a scholarship to a young student. One of the highlights for many was
seeing video footage of Patsy from Tex Ritter Ranch Party of "Walkin' After
Midnight". Also footage was shown of Sylvia Wilt accepting the honor for Patsy
Cline Day in VA. We all had a great time. Charlie was in town as usual and was
kind enough to speak to the fans and just hang out.
The big news of the weekend is the projected date of the musuem opening ---
9-8-01! This will be a state of the art musuem. Included will be dvd
audio/video, cafes, a theater and many other ideas. It should be exciting a
wonderful tribute to Patsy. I met a small group of fans in Nashville Wed, we
all went to see Mandy B perform. She floored us as usual! Fri we went to see
"Just a Closer Walk" and then Sat was the Opry. Mr Hamilton arranged backstage
access for us. We were thrilled. Vince Gill was there and many of my friends
are so jealoused I met him. Other activities included a day trip to Camden and
Dyersburg, sightseeing in Nashville. We 2 couples and another 2 all from
England! They had a great time. Y'all take care. Remember 9-26-98 is the fall
fest in Camden TN. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend. Always, Jimmy 9-16-98

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATSY HONEY!!!!!!!! This is such a great
week for all of us for sure. Patsy would be proud of all of
us. Missed being in Winchester this year, will try
harder to get there next year. I was not able to attend
because of working through that weekend during the
festives in Winchester. Wade, to answer your question,
yes I did get my video from Tower Productions. Although
it took a nasty letter to do so. I throughly enjoy
watching this video from time to time. I always enjoy
Patsy singing with Cowboy Copas, what a treat it is
for anyone who buys this video. And Wade, I have also
not bought the new CD, not sure I need to.
Take care everyone, will write in soon...

I am still wondering if I should get it or not. And Shane, did you ever get
the video that you ordered a while back? And speaking of video, there was some
talk of a video of that show recorded in 1963 where she sang "Pieces" and "San
Antonio Rose"... what's the scoop on this? Well, I will talk at yall later.

Frank, when I was growing up in Texas, I heard people sing or say "That's what
I like about the South!" and eventually I did hear a song with that line in it,
although I can't remember at this moment who sang it. As for that particular
film scene (at the very end, just before Patsy calls Hilda from Dyersburg), it
looks to me like a fictional scene, because it is so perfect, ha! Real life
seldom has such movie-ready scenes.

Hi all, especially Jimmy W. Sandy is great as Patsy Cline with George
Hamilton 4 as narrator. My daughter and I had front row seats and George
handed her the Babe Ruth choc bar he features.
Sandy is great but and in some songs I could almost
believe it was Patsy singing. But no one ever will be
the real Patsy Cline. Regards to all, Bernard

Hi All, About the film "Sweet Dreams", as Jimmy Walker wrote,
the film is not true to detail, possibly because "real life" is
seldom interesting enough to make a film of. Never the less,
the film did give a wider audience an introduction to the
talent of Patsy, and increased the pressure to release more
of the recordings still tucked away. Regards to all, Bernard

Hey all! Frank, I have looked for the scene in the movie you spoke about. I
could not find it, I remember it. I am not sure if it true or not--I think the
scene is supposed to try to show how Charlie might be. I do know he has walked
on stilks. As far as the accuracy, not really. While the basic story is told,
so many scenes were told incorrectly, for instance: She wore an evening gown
on Godfrey, the car crash was in the rain when the other driver passed someone,
the plane crashed during a storm into the ground, the wig she wears during
recording of "I Fall to Pieces" was worn after the car crash. I noticed some
other things but I will not carry on. Like I said, the basic story is there, I
just wished they would have told it correctly, but the same is true of "Coal
Miner's Daughter"... Take care everyone, I am busy preparing for my trip to VA.

VA USA - Friday, August 21, 1998 at 02:32:16 (MET DST)
Hi all! Here's a question that I know someone on this great website can
answer... In the movie, "Sweet Dreams", there is a scene in which Ed Harris
(as Charlie Dick) is fairly "under the weather" in a bar and he jumps up and
swings around a post (a beam or a pole) in this bar and sings out loud, "And
that's what I like about the South!"... Then he kind of slides down the pole.
My questions are... Does anyone know what this song is that Harris is singing,
and secondly I am wondering if anyone who knows the real accuracy of the movie
knows if that scene really happened that way, or even CLOSE to that way??...
How would a filmmaker know something like this? Any reposnsees here on the
fantastic Per Patsy site is appreciated!

And about the book "Sweet Dreams", anyone have any ifro. on it? I'm sure it
will be just as good as the other Patsy biographies. I'm amazed to see how
many Patsy Cline fans there are! Sometimes I think I'm the only one! But,
being on the Internet and e-mailing so many nice Patsifans. I know I'm not the

Patsy is really big here in Oz and I have lot's of friends
who are Patsy Cline fans also. My favorite song used to be
"San Antonio Rose". I also like "Sweet dreams" and "Crazy".
Her gospel songs are good too, like "Life's Railway" and
"Just a closer walk with Thee. OK, that's my rave. I love P.C.

One more thing ya all. Patsy Cline is indeed listed in
Billboard Magazine. Jimmy, you are somewhat right, she is
found on Billboards Catalog listing. This is found under
Country's weekly singles listing. This week; "Greatest Hits",
8th position, at 8 Million sold copies. "Story" is somewhere
around 20.

Well folks, I think I may have found that new release
on Patsy Cline. Where??? Music Boulevard, at
www.musicblvd.com.
Title: "Vol. 1 Four Star Recordings",
Release date 8/18/98. I don't believe there will be
any treasures with a title that includes 4 Star. I could
be wrong, but I'm not expecting anything I haven't
heard already. If it is indeed unreleased material, then
it would have to be alternate takes of such from
4 Star material. I don't want to overestimate here or
anything so thats all for now. Sincerely.. Shane...

Wade, I was wondering the same thing about this new
CD. In fact, the other night I was talking to a friend
that heard this CD is supposible coming out either
the end of this month or early September, and that
this CD will contain unreleased material, and photos.
Whether all this is true is not certain. I just came
from a record store, and they were not sure of a new
release. The newest release was a reissue of "Heartaches"
but that was in July. However it goes, there is work
being done currently on a new one, but whether it's
on unreleased material we will have to wait and see.
After I am done here tonight I am going to check another
record shop in town. Maybe before the nights over I will
have come up with an answer. Sincerely..
PS: If anyone can back me up on this, please do so.

Hello all... This is somewhat off topic. I just had to tell you all that I won
front row seats and backstages passes to a Brenda Lee show over the weekend.
She has one of the best shows I have ever seen! I was mesmerized. I got to meet
with her in her dressing room afterwards. She was one of the nicest people I
have ever met, and made us feel very comfortable! Her show included all her
hits from the 60's, as well as some tunes from various other artists like
Elvis, Carl Perkins and of course Patsy's "Sweet Dreams". She has a wonderful
monologe of funny stories to tell. Believe this was dream come true. If anyone
needs info on the fan club Labor Day weekend or activities in Camden TN (Sept
26) please email and I will try to help. Always, Jimmy 8-9-98

production. I can vouch for Gail Bliss (in "Patsy!"). She was awesome in
Branson! Always, Jimmy

at #1 for some 5 yrs!

I have always liked Patsy's singing. The first time that
I got a CD of her was last month not even. Patsy is the best
singer that I ever herd and to go with that, she is the best looking
woman who ever that lived. My favorit song is "Walkin After Midnight".
I do have some questions about Patsy. (1) Is it true that Patsy was
killed in a plane crash? (2) How old was she when she died? (3) When
did she become famous. (4) How many songs did she sing in her life.
(5) Where did she first sing. My grandma has a tape of her and they are
really good songs too. It is really hard to find CD's and tapes of her
in the stores of her. I have one more question, (6) What went wrong with
the plane that made it to crash if that is what happened. Anyway, I think
that she is the best of all time and she will always be the
best in my opinion. "HORRAY FOR PATSY CLINE!!!!!!!!!!"

Innisfail, AB Canada - Wednesday, August 05, 1998 at 19:30:10 (MET DST)
Comment: Answers to your questions: (1) Yes. (2) 30 years and six months. (3)
Probably when she sang "Walkin' after midnight" in the Arthur Godfrey show on
January 21, 1957. (4) She recorded 98 different songs in the studio, and she
recorded four of those twice, making a total of 102 recordings. And during her
live performances she sang yet a few more songs that are available on CD, and
maybe someone is willing to count those for you, but it is of course impossible
to know exactly how many different songs she sang in her life. (5) Can't
remember right now. I'll have to check the books for that one... Maybe someone
else has the answer? (6) One theory is that the plane was caught in a thunder
storm with heavy rain and low clouds, and since the pilot wasn't instrument
rated (he could only fly when he had visual contact with the ground), he
paniced and lost control... There was also a witness who claimed that he heard
a small plane with engine problems. I guess we will never know EXACTLY what
happened that tragic evening on March 5, 1963... But what we do know is that the
plane crashed face down into the ground, with the engine at full throttle,
killing four people... /Per
It has been forever since I've signed in the ole guest book. I visit as often
as I can, but it seems like I never have the time to actually sign in. The site
still looks awesome! Did anybody catch the Dave Letterman show last night
(Monday night)? They played 3 different Patsy Cline songs on a segment they
did. They played parts of "Gotta Lotta Rhythm in My Soul", "Stop the World and
Let Me Off", and "Walkin' After Midnight". It was kinda neat to hear ole Patsy
belting it out on the Dave Letterman show.

Hello everyone!! Good to be back here again, it's been
awhile. Bill Cox, just to let you know I checked out
Billboards site, and yes you're right, there is know showing
on Patsy Cline. But believe shes in the magazine. I don't
subscribe to Billboard either, but I do check out this info
at my local Record store. Most Record shops that I have been in
usually have a copy or two of Billboard. I think Patsy isn't
shown because that part of the charts is not. Looks like
Billboard for some reason is only showing half of what they
publish in their Magazine. I think you ask what positions
Patsy is on, well last time I checked (and I will check again
soon, and post the positions here) "Greatest Hits" was
somewhere around # 5 or 6, "The Story" was somewhere around
#20, and "Heartaches" trailed behind that. Like I said I will
chesk again shortly. Take care everyone. Sincerley..

Hey to all, I am back. I lost regular Internet access, so getting here is not
possible all the time. I finally got my copy of "Patsy Cline Discovery" and I
think I like it better than the Razor and Tie issue. I also found a CD of
"Today, Tomorrow and Forever". It was the 1988 MCA release and it sounds great
of course. I was lucky enough to find it in a bargain bin at the mall in
Paducah. Does anyone know anymore about this new CD that is coming out this

Howdy Everybody! I've been on vacation and also have been very busy, so I
haven't signed in for a while. I've noticed many exciting things are
forthcoming... A new Patsy Cline book, and a porcelain figurine, for starters.
I am very excited about these items and have already placed my order for the
book. While on vacation, I just so happened to meet a total of 4 Patsy Cline
fans in one day, which is something I've never experienced before in the NY/NJ
area. Needless to say, I was thrilled to finally meet some Patsy fans in the
flesh. Prior to "meeting" many wonderful Patsy fans on the Internet at Per's,
I'd never had anyone to share my Patsy passion with. Per, congratulations on

Comment: Thanks, SueBee! /Per
Yes, the MCA CD "Always" does contain the overdubbed versions of "Always" and
"Does Your Heart Beat For Me". The songs on that CD are:
1. Always
2. I Fall To Pieces
3. True Love
4. South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)
5. That's My Desire
6. Faded Love
7. I'll Sail My Ship Alone
8. Does Your Heart Beat For Me
9. Foolin' 'Round
10. I Love You So Much It Hurts
The album was produced by Owen Bradley, and was created to meet the demand for
Patsy's material that occurred after the release of "Coal Miner's Daughter".
It first appeared on the market in 1980. I have both the LP and CD versions.
Many people dislike these overdubs, but I find them to be enjoyable. As the
liner notes indicate, it does allow the comparison of production
styles/techniques of the '60's to those of the '80's. You should be able to
purchase the CD through any record store, as well as some of the online
services.

My mother (who died in 1988) had a two record set that she
obtained from a TV offer that was named "The Legendary Patsy
Cline". On these discs were re-recorded backgrounds for
at least two songs; "Does Your Heart Beat For Me" and
"Always". Most of her best was included in this set but
the majority were in mono. (The two I mentioned above were
in stereo). Although I treasure the 4 CD set, "The Patsy
Cline Collection", I would really like to have those two
re-recorded songs on CD. (Re-recording was done also in the
"Sweet Dreams" CD as I am sure most of you know.
The "Legendary" LP set is in excellent condition (for vinyl)
but the ticks and pops drive me nuts!
Mark Bego ("I Fall to Pieces" bio) writes that MCA's
"Always" CD contains re-recording on some of the tracks (as
does "Sweet Dreams"). Does anyone HAVE the "ALWAYS" CD?
On "Does your heart beat for me" the background singers
are women and the overall effect is stunning.
Please help! Need these cuts on CD! Thanks!
