Hey HOSSES'!! How's everybody doing? It's been many months since I've come to
this site, and Per, I must say that it's lookin' as WONDERFUL as it did last
time I was here. I read that thing about the duets comin' out on Mercury
Records... I can't wait!! It's gonna be so amazing, like new material! :) I
got a question for all ya fans, I guess for anyone that knows the answer. It's
just a little curiosity of mine, but did Patsy ever perform in Canada? I seem
to have recalled reading somewhere that she appeared in Toronto once, but I'm
not sure, can't remember exactly. Per, your Patsy Cline
Records page is great! Keep up the good work. Luv Ya'all and Patsy Always,
George

Love this Patsy Forum, and being our family loved Patsy, we all love you for
loving her....Today, tomorrow and forever. Excitement is growing as we make
final plans for our trip to Hollywood... My husband (Norm), our daughter
Sheree, and her hubby Murray. It will be so awesome, and Patsy will be beaming
from the heavens above. Wish you all could come, but know you will be there in
thought. See you down the road (as Michelle Wright always says). Bye now, Love
Anne, or Annie as my Patsy Puppies call me.

Jacki, not sure if there are any other Ottawa fan club members, but I know
there are members throughout Canada. I mean familys are fan clubbers. I have
noticed other visitors to this sight from Canada. So you are not alone.
Maude, I asked fellow fan clubber/friend, Anne A, who new Patsy, about her
shoe size, and she thinks it was around 8. I have held one of her shoes and I
said she is right. Also want to remind my fellow Kentuckians that "Always...
Patsy Cline" will open July 14 at the Actors Theater in Louisville KY.
Always, Jimmy 7-5-99

Hello again, to all who visit this site regularly... I'm back and I asked a
few questions over at the "PATSIFIED" site, in the "HOSS' WALL" section, and
if any one can provide the answers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Per, I love
this site, as it is one of the few I keep tuning into when I can get access to
a computer with Internet access. I consider my hometown to be OTTAWA, y'know
home to the world's longest outdoor skating rink in the winter and home to the
OTTAWA SENATORS and many more things. Is there anyone out there in my hometown
area, who adores PATSY & her music such as I do...DON"T BE SHY, state your
claim here... "CLINELY ALWAYS", Jacki

I believe that Patsy Cline was the greatest singer in country music. I still
believe she always will be, and there's no one who can change my mind about
Patsy! Her songs and life are truely one of a kind. Patsy to me is like a
sister I never had! Really! If she was still here and doing concerts, I'd be
at every one of them! She was one great entertainer! And there's no one who
can sing a song like Patsy Cline! She is pure country and truly a legend!
Patsy Cline, you will always have me as a true fan!

This is actually a question for the forum, so please indulge and help me out.
Am I "crazy" or is a 2nd female voice sharing vocal duties w/ Patsy on "Lonely
Street"? My version is on a Laserlight label CD & after consulting several
recording session sources I see no other vocalists mentioned save for the
Jordanaires. The CD doesn't mention a specific recording date but I'm assuming
it's 2/15/62. Are my ears decieving me, cause I hear a distinctively Dinah
Washington-like 2nd voice sharing verses w/Patsy. Thanks so much.
Ron Haynes <ron_haynes@yahoo.com>
Chicago, IL USA - Thursday, July 01, 1999 at 22:26:05 (MET DST)
Comment: Yes, there is a second woman on the LaserLight version of "Lonely
Street". We have discussed it before in the forum. No one seems to know the
name of this woman. In an entry on page three, Jimmy Walker suggests that it
could be gospel singer Vestal Goodman, but I don't know if he's correct. As I
recall it, Jimmy did ask Charlie Dick about this once, and Charlie couldn't
remember who the woman is. /Per
Aloha from Honolulu friends. We're life-long fans of "the Cline". Originally
from Kansas City (site of the ill-fated benefit concert) we now live in Hawaii
and still listen to Patsy while sitting on our beach front lanai sipping Mai
Tai's. Thanks for the great site and photos.

How could anyone possibly question the success and influence of the Late Great
Patsy Cline. The woman was posthumously honored with two Grammy awards (one in
1992 and one in 1995), and her recording of "Crazy", which actually is a one
take record, according to Owen Bradley, is the most popular Jukebox record of
all time. Also, her "Greatest Hits" album has sold over seven million copies
to the date. In my opinion, all questions are answered in those statistics.
No, not everyone loves the voice that in the opinion of many is the greatest
ever bestowed on humanity, but anyone who questions the success of it is IN
FACT ignorant, misinformed, and is in my opinion not too keen for making
statements with no grounds for others to see. Thank God for Patsy Cline, where
would MUSIC as a whole be without her? We lost her too soon, but can't you
understand God wanting her in His choir? Thanks Patsy :o)

Hi! Alex Sydorenko, you asked about a song Patsy did, "You Belong To Me".
You said it was a Nat King Cole song... He may have recorded it, but the
big hit record was done by Jo Stafford in 1953. A huge hit and is a standard
today. All the radio stations that play 40's- 50's and 60's music all play Jo
Stafford's rendition. Just thought you'd like to know. Patsy and I were very
dear friends. I worked with Wynn Stewart and Merle Haggard (before he was a
star) in Vegas. Patsy loved Jo Stafford and also, she was crazy about Roberta
Sherwood. We went out on the strip to see Roberta. She saw Patsy in the
audience and announced that she was there. Patsy was just elated to think that
Roberta knew who she was. A fun memory of my dear friend. So glad you love her
too! :-)

Hello everyone ! It has been some time since I last posted anything here, I
guess I'm busy, and have slipped a little, if ya all know what I mean. Did
everyone watch the award show on TNN the other night ? Lorrie Morgan sang
Patsy's "Leavin On Your Mind", and did a superb job, I think. It had something
to do with the Hall of Fame, I believe. Lorrie M. wore a gown that kinda looked
like something maybe Patsy Cline herself would have worn. The dress was pretty
by all means. I have always felt that Lorrie M. in her own way sounds like
Patsy, her dictation does anyways. Well it's good to hear that the "Walk of
Fame" date in LA has been set, I will not be able to attend, though. I am
planning a trip to San Diego, CA but not around the time of the dedication, oh
well. Take care, all

Hello, Per, I just can't get over how wonderful your site is. I wish I had the
knowledge to make mine more than text. Maybe I can get some help soon. Anyway,
I just wanted to let everyone know that they can order the Patsy "Crazy Muscial
Plate" from the Franklin Mint. Call 1-800-THE-MINT. You can order the catalog
then the plate, or just order the plate. It's $55 + tax/s&h. They take all
major credit cards, etc. Also, as soon as it's official, I will be letting
everyone know about Patsy's Virginia Star on the Va. Legends Walk. I haven't
been told that she is one of the 1st 24 to be recognized, but I feel sure she
will be. She was the most nominated, thanx to this site and all the Patsy
friends that got the email(s) from me or the people I sent them to. So, I feel
it's just a matter of the formalities more than anything. I'll keep you posted.
The Legends Walk will be unveiling the 1st 24 on July 15th, I believe. It's
going to be at the 13th street park at the ocean front, in Va. Beach. Keep
remembering Patsy and she'll never be gone. My best to everyone!! Vyvyenne

Can anyone help me? I have been searching for information on a contest. To my
understanding there was a contest held in British Columbia last year (1998).
This contest was a tribute to Patsy Cline. My 15 year old neice would like to
come and sing for this event, but we are unable to receive any information on
it... Last year it was advertised on CMT but this year we have been out of
luck... Need your help... Is anyone out there...?

Patsy Cline is one of the most gifted singers ever to grace the face of this
big earth. Like many of you, I grew up hearing her songs. Even when the words
were slurred under the influence of a drink or two, the passion would still
find its way through or at least we tried. In the outback of Australia the
crystal nights echo Patsy's great voice. Sitting around a camp fire on old
drums, friends, family and the only visible difference is the electrical cord
for a simple tape recorder to play her songs. Everyone sang, everyone enjoyed,
old and young, we had a great time. Today we all sing along with the cd
players, but the music is the same. So today, along with Britney Spears,
Backstreet Boys and Tupac, my children listen to Patsy Cline. She sounds just
as wonderful. When I tried to sing her songs along with the karaoke, after
practicing and trying all those years, you realize only one can sing like her,

I have been a fan of Patsy Cline as long as I can remember...and I have my
folks to credit for that. Growing up, I recall my parents having very limited
music taste.....their collection consisted of Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves and, of
course, Patsy Cline. At a time when I was into the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac,
it was very hip for them to have the volume set high to a Patsy Cline record
so all the neighbors could hear her yodel the "Lovesick Blues"!! Even as a kid,
I could not deny the indelible impression that her music left on me. I still
love the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, but I would take Patsy Cline any day, cause
there's something about that voice that tugs at the heart and I thank you mom
and dad for allowing me to discover her music early on in my life!!

So happy to join you all on this page for Patsy only. Our family are so excited
and delighted that our dreams have or are to be coming true for our beloved
Patsy. Her STAR included on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her name and fine
singing is proof that she truly was a shining star as her songs are being sung
by young and old, no matter what type of music is hep for the year. Knowing
her, loving her and respecting her was the most exciting part of our lives,
with the exception of course of having babies and raising them into fine adults
and they too still loving "our" Patsy. Not forgetting too, that Charlie, Julie
and family and Randy are still a wonderful part of our lives and share a bond of
friendship that is ever strong. I want to thank Mario Munoz for his hard work
and persistance and money he has spent, stamps, phone calls etc. And Jimmy
Walker for always keeping this old gal up on anything new regarding Patsy. We
have met so many people at the Patsy Fan Club each year and I have many young
members whom I call my Patsy Puppies. They are great and treat our gang so
wonderful so thank you all for your kind words about Patsy as the list goes on
and on. Anne, Norm Armstrong... Sheree and Murray Shannon... Marnie and Ivan
Porcellato and Andy and Cathy Armstrong.

that there are so many wonderful pages on Patsy. Hank is not at home right
now, but I am going to show him your site as soon as I can. Let us know if we
can be of any help to you. He loved Patsy very much, and I am sure all the
effort you have gone through to honor Patsy will tug on his heart strings.

Hey there, CLINE fans!, it's official... Patsy Cline's star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame will be dedicated on August 3rd 1999 at 11:30 am. In case you
would like to attend, the host hotel is the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. I was
able to get a group rate. It's $109.00 per night (which may seem like alot,
but for a hotel during the peak season and located directly on Hollywood Blvd.
with the amount of history involved in the hotel itself, it's actually a fair
price... The regular rate is $159.00 per night. The hotel is extremely
elegant, several Hollywood legends had suites there and the first two academy
awards were held there also). Should you be interested your reservations
should be made by calling Channa Perera @ the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel by
June 31st. His number is (323) 769-7280. Different size rooms are available
should you desire. The location of the star has not yet been determined by the
Hollywood historic trust/chamber of commerce, but as soon as I find out, I'll
let you all know. Hope to see ya there. Mario

Ah, Patsy, we all still love you. Girl, you have the kind of voice that stops
traffic in the street; a voice that sooths even the beastly of the beasties.
Hey, what's the name of that Nat King Cole song that Patsy sings about visiting
the pyramids along the Nile, about visiting the Marrakhech Marketplace and
about flying a silver plane in the sky? I've already bought a few CDs looking
for it but I'm never able to find it. I'd appreciate any help from you all out

Hello all! I am always so busy to come and visit the site, but it's good to
say hi and have a moment to relax. I have a big question for you all. My
sister was watching a program on TNN called "Prime Time Country" with Gary
Chapman. She saw Mark Chestnut on the show and Gary had a question from a fan
that asked Mark:.......if he could record a duet with anyone dead or alive....
who would it be....? Mark answered..."it would be Patsy Cline". He went on to
say that he was asked to be a part of a project that has to do with a Patsy
duet album. How cool is this!!! I just want to know if anyone has heard about
this....? Please e-mail me if you have any info on this. Thanks.

Welcome Jack Call!.....I am very curious about the events surrounding the
charity concert for your father.....Is it true that the event netted only a
few thousand dollars to your mother and the family? Does anyone else have any
thoughts about Cactus Jack Call? I am still surprised to the extent that
country artists went all out (in those days) for a local disc jockey. For
example, if today, Wild Bill Wilson (fictional local DJ) would pass away, do
you think that Reba and Garth would fly to Kansas City to perform a benefit
concert? I think not. They don't make 'em like Patsy any more!

I have been a Patsy Cline fan for years, my husband loves to hear me sing her
songs, he says I sound just like her. I love to sing "Crazy", I once went into
a studio and made a tape singing that song and when I came out everyone
clapped, I feel so honored to be able to sing and sound like her. When we lost
Patsy, we lost a great woman in country music history.

At night I'd lie in bed listening to the local rock station. I was fifteen
and I'd never heard of Patsy Cline. It was the Spring of 1963 when they
started playing "Sweet Dreams" and I couldn't get enough of it. I'd wait up
just to hear it one more time. To me, it was and still is the most beautiful
recording ever made.

Hi all! I have, after a long wait for the supplier to fill the order, finally
got a copy of the video "Remembering Patsy". I can recommend it but, in the
UK, expect a delay before you get it. It is PLATV 313 from Prism Leisure in
the UK. It is a real pleasure to see and hear the TV recordings and other
performances and some clips of home movie. The various comments by other
personalities are a major part of the video. Without doubt Patsy performed
the way I imagined she would. But I would like to know why did the producers
had to overlay the comments onto the performances effectively removing the
middle parts of several. Has anyone knowledge about whether the full
performances without overlaid comments are available to purchase?

Patsy's star has not yet been placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They are
trying to accomodate both Charlie's and Julie's schedules so that they can be
in attendance at the dedication. Hopefully it will take place sometime this
summer or fall.

I'll start by saying I'm not a huge Patsy Cline fan. I do, however, enjoy a
few of her songs. But this site is still so interesting to me. I've lived in
Winchester all my life, and it's odd to see places I pass by every day on the
web. This weekend is Apple Blossom in town, which Patsy took part in quite a
few times. I think her spirit still lives on during this time of year. Her
music tends to be playing a lot more during this week than at any other time.
It's beautiful here. Enjoy the spring, everyone.

This is such a wonderful website for Patsy, it just takes my breath away! I
love Patsy, her music, her wonderful voice and especially the type of
personality she had. I too, have the same kind. Full of spunk and doesn't
sugarcoat what's on her mind. I became interested in Patsy when I watched the
movie "Sweet Dreams", in 1985. Ever since then, I started singin' her music...
and now I impersonate her. I have shows, birthday parties, etc. that I do here
in VA Beach, and I love it, simply love it! Love singin' her music. I also
make my own wardrobe of clothing to wear. As long as I still have a breath
left in me, I will continue to sing her music! God Bless you, Patsy, for
comin' into my life!

also...had the pleasure to meet Hilda in Sept '96...hard to believe she is
gone...I still remember hearing "I fall to pieces" on the radio when I was
little...I didn't know who she was then, but I really enjoyed the music...I
do have several of her albums also. I am glad to see that Patsy still lives

Hi to all fellow PATSY ADMIRERS out there! I have been a lifetime fan and the
one regret I have is that I was born some years after her death and would have
enjoyed seeing her perform live, and that is a fact. I'm new to this Internet
stuff, but I'm slowly learning and I have enjoyed coming across all sorts of
PATSY related sites... I would love to hear from fellow Patsy folks and to all
members who belong to the "ALWAYS PATSY CLINE" club from Winchester, VA. U.S.A.
- A great club to be a part of... I'm a member... I have seen Gail Bliss'
performance in the "ALWAYS PATSY CLINE" show when it came to my hometown of
OTTAWA last fall, and had the chance to meet her... I enjoyed the show... I
saw it on Patsy's b-day so it felt really special that evening. Patsy, to me
possessed a personality and talent that can't define words or anything else
except that she was meant to be a singer and to leave her mark for all to hear.
God Bless Patsy for being created and giving us the joy of her voice.

From what I am able to gather, the initial pressings of the "Sentimentally
Yours" album (released August 1962) did not say "and featuring Heartaches".
This was added several months later when "Heartaches" was released as a single
and became a hit on the U.S. Pop Charts (it did not chart on the Country side).
Copies that don't have "and featuring Heartaches" on the cover are less common,
but that doesn't add anything to the value. According to "The Official Price
Guide to Country Music Records" (First Edition) by Jerry Osborne, stereo copies
of "Sentimentally Yours" are worth from $20-$30. Bernard, I also have a copy
of "Sentimentally Yours" on Brunswick from the UK (Stereo, STA-8510). The UK
version is identical to the US release, and does not say "and featuring
Heartaches".

Bernard, the UK pressing are different than the US pressing. Though yours

Cox to help explain for you. He does a great job with it.

Hi everybody! On the original "Patsy Cline Story" record album, there are

Comment: All I can find out about her, from consulting my Patsy Cline
biographies, is that she then was the WSM - Grand Ole Opry public relations
director, and a long-time friend of Patsy's. She was also involved in promoting
the Carnegie Hall concert in New York. I don't know if she is still with us.
/Per
Sentimentally Yours: I have a mono version of this on Brunswick label LAT 8510
with sentimentally yours in yellow italics all lower case over PATSY CLINE in
upper case block capitals in pink. Patsy is shown wearing a blue lace over
white dress and resting on a couple of white cushions. I bought this LP in
1962 just after I first heard her singing "Heartaches". Great LP, and I will
never part with it. Seldom play it having "backed it up" onto tape for my own
use. Regards to all, Bernard

Hi there... I recently came across a Patsy Cline album that I have a question
about. Please bear in mind that I'm a Beatles collector, and I know absolutely
nothing about Patsy's albums. So I thought I'd throw this out there to you
experts and see what the general consensus is. This album is called
"Sentimentally Yours". It's on Decca, #DL 74282, and it's stereo. In trying to
find out what I could about this album, I went to eBay to see what people had
at auction and what this might be worth. There were three or four of these
albums at auction with pictures of the cover. However, all of the ones listed
there were different from mine. They all had "Sentimentally Yours" in yellow
print, just above the "Patsy Cline" in pink print. They also had "Heartaches"
in yellow print below "Patsy Cline", again in yellow print, just to the left
of Patsy's head. My album cover does not have the "Heartaches" print. Is this
something that's common or is this a earlier/later release? I hope you might
be able to tell me something about this album and cover. It's in very nice
shape. The cover has a small amount of wear on it and there are someone's
initials lightly written at the bottom. All the seams are intact, with all the
printing (on the top and the spine) still very legible. I have scans available
if needed. Please enlighten me to anything you might know about this record.
Thank you in advance. Mick Earl

Missoula, MT USA - Wednesday, April 21, 1999 at 04:24:36 (MET DST)
Comment: In the booklet from the MCA 4 CD collection, all Patsy Cline LPs from
Decca are shown, and "Sentimentally Yours" does NOT have the "Heartaches"
printing on it. That probably means that the original release of that album
did not have that extra printing on it, and that you indeed may have that
original version. My copy has the "Heartaches" printing on it, and that may
be a later issue, perhaps released after Patsy's death. More info, anyone? /Per
I have now received my copy of Mandy Barnett's new CD, "I've got a right to
cry". What can I say, except that I love it! I have always thought that Mandy
is the one singer that comes closest to Patsy, and after listening to this CD,
I have no reason to think differently. If you like Patsy, I'm sure you will
like this new CD by Mandy Barnett, which, by the way, is produced by Owen and
Harold Bradley. Owen Bradley, who was Patsy's producer, sadly died during the
making of this album, so his brother Harold took over and finished it for him,
together with Bobby Bradley and Mandy. It contains 12 tracks, the label is
Sire, and the number is 31046-2. The album is dedicated to Owen Bradley.

such a great age when we can all sit down in our homes and communicate with
the world! All is well here in Nashville. Sorry I missed you guys (Jimmy

coming to town (today, I think). Maybe I will get to say hello to him.
Would love to get the chance to be a "tourist" myself here in Nashville, and
see all the sights. You know how it is when you live around it, you just never
take the time to enjoy it. Once in a while when there are some friends in
town, we get to go and do all the fun things here in Nashville. I really do
miss Opryland, though. The kids always loved to go out there. It was a mini
vacation here at home. Well, I guess I should run. I could spend all day on

Howdy everyone. So glad to see the interest is here and new people coming on
board. Frank, I do think Patsy would have been big. She was just beginning at
the time of her death. Maybe her early death has something to do with "the
cult" following. But with that voice, anyone would be a fool not to appreciate
it. May 6 on TNN's Century in Country, Patsy will be featured. I understand
this series should be equally as good as the "Life and Times" series on TNN.
Do keep an eye for Patsy. Also, April 13 will be the release date of Mandy
Barnett's new cd. Please call your radio station and request Mandy and Patsy.

The CD in question is the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to the 1985 film,
"Sweet Dreams", based on Patsy's life story (MCA Records, No. MCAD-6149). It
can still be purchased in most record stores, or through online music sites.
In a record store, you might have to look in the Soundtrack section. In
addition to "San Antonio Rose", six other songs on the CD were overdubbed
(i.e. the original musical accompaniment was changed/updated) to fit the film:
"Seven Lonely Days", "Your Cheatin Heart", "Walkin' After Midnight", "Foolin'
Around", "Half As Much" and "Blue Moon Of Kentucky". Also, there were a couple
of additional instruments added to the mix of "Lovesick Blues". And, although
included on the sountrack, "Half As Much" did not make the final cut of the
film.

Could anyone out there help me identify a Patsy Cline CD which I have been
unable to find? About 20 years ago, I bought my daughter a Patsy Cline CD and
she recorded it on tape for me. I still have the tape but she lost the CD. The
songs don't match any CD I can find. It has twelve songs which are:
1. San Antonio Rose
2. Seven Lonely Days
3. Your Cheatin Heart
4. Lovesick Blues
5. Walkin' After Midnight
6. Foolin' Around
7. Half As Much
8. I Fall To Pieces
9. Crazy
10. Blue Moon Of Kentucky
11. She's Got You
12. Sweet Dreams
The strange thing about it is that the song "San Antonio Rose" is a different
version than the one on "The Patsy Cline Story". What makes it different is
that this version has a steel guitar in it and is unlike the one on "The Patsy
Cline Story". If anyone out there could help me, it would solve a mystery
which I've been unable to do. Sincerely, Don Flick

I do not want to seem harsh... I just want to be realistic... Does anyone
think that it is POSSIBLE that the memory of Patsy suffers from the same thing
that the memory of JFK suffers from...? In other words, if Patsy were still
alive today, would she be a "Kitty Wells"... or a "Dottie West"????? I think
that Patsy has become a bigger legend because of the fact that she died
young... I do NOT mean that as an insult... Simply factual... Is it possible
that Patsy Cline "suffers" from the Elvis, James Dean, JFK, Marilyn Monroe,
Hank Williams syndrome? Was she REALLY that great? I think so, but I am
interested in other's thoughts....... Frank

she has at one time or an other. A great fan, Patty

Hiya everyone! I just wanted to state a few things. I am a 23 year old female,
who's really not that much of a country fan... But, I am however a HUGE fan of
Ms. Cline's. Patsy paved the way for most female singers today. She was the
first lady to make the cross from country to pop. She was a feminist in her
time - she was bold and brassy and told it like it was. Of course, she also
had a heart of gold. Her unique style and never-forgotten voice are admired
by fans as well as other musicians around the world. I'm saddened by the fact
that Ms. Cline was struck down at such a young age, but the memory and voice
of this incredible woman will live on in the hearts of all those who enjoy her
and her music. Although I was not able to know Ms. Cline's work until MANY
years after her death, she is and will always be on the top of my list!
Thank you ~

Andrea Behl asks if it bugs anyone else when LeAnn Rimes is dubbed as the
new Patsy Cline. Yes, it annoys me. LeAnn has talent but although she has
some of the qualities of Patsy she can never be Patsy's equal. Maybe LeAnn

be surpassed. Regards to all, Bernard

Comment: You are probably referring to "The Birth of a Star" from Razor
& Tie (RE 2108-2), released in 1996, which features Patsy's performances
on the Arthur Godfrey Show. The same material (with a few differences) has
also been released on a CD called "Discovery". I can't remember the name of
the record company right now. If I'm not totally mistaken, the "Discovery" CD
is a European release, while "The Birth of a Star" is an American release.
Maybe someone else can submit more detailed info on "Discovery"? /Per

Reading about the dress that might/might not have been Patsy's
is interesting. Does anyone know whether any of Patsy's original
"cowgirl" outfits are for sale/auction anywhere? I know she quit
wearing them after a while, but they still remind me of Patsy. Karra

It is true that Patsy sold two of the western suits that
Hilda made for her. Patsy stopped wearing so many of
the western look outfits, and that is when she sold two of
them to Pearl. Hilda has always been a semstress and
has sold clothes she had made. None were made for Pearl.
One of the dresses Pearl bought is in the Hall of Fame in
Nashville. The dress at the Hall of Fame, I believe is white.
The dress Pearl bought were not actually dresses, but two
piece outfits. To the best of my knowledge, Patsy only had
two western "dresses": one was purchased from "Nudie", the
rodeo tailor in Hollywood, and the other was a dress made
by Hilda, and the objects on that dress were from a deck
of playing cards (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs).
The "Nudie" dress was given to Hilda when Patsy died, and
Patsy had already sold the other dress to Donna Stoneman,
of "The Stoneman Family". If someone does have a picture
of Patsy in the dress Donny is asking about, I would love
to see it, too. Charlie

Hey all did you see the Opry on TV last night (3-13-99)? They inducted
Trisha Yearwood to the Opry. She is the 71st active member, I believe.
Towards the end of the evening Bruce Hinton, Pres. of MCA-Nashville came
onstage for a presentation. He then asked Charlie Dick and Julie Fudge to
join him. He recongized that Trisha is a Patsy fan and collector. He then
presented Trisha a framed silver necklace that Patsy wore. Trisha was very
touched. She then sang "Sweet Dreams" very nicely. Keep in eye for a Franklin
Mint musical plate honoring Patsy later this year. Always, Jimmy W.

Tributes to Patsy, the BBC played a new song by a Norwegian
singer Edel Ellingson (that is almost certainly spelt wrong, sorry)
called "Thanks to Patsy". It tells how hearing Patsy made Edel
a fan of country and swing. Many of Patsy's titles are woven into
the lyrics and, to me, it sounds very good. In the UK it is an import
on Dial G records. Regards to all.

I have a dress, that a lady brought to me, she believed to once be owned by
Patsy. Charlie Dick has seen a picture of the dress and doesn't recall it.
It does have a label in it that states: Specially handcrafted by Hilda V.
Hensley. The lady that brought it to me related this info: Patsy gave or sold
it to Pearl Butler who then loaned or gave it to this lady's neighbor. When
the neighbor moved out of state, she threw the dress away in a box on the
street! When the moving van pulled off, she pulled the dress from the trash.
This was over 20 years ago. Since then it has mostly been in her closet with
a few wearings in talent shows children's dress up times. When she brought it
in to me, she didn't even know that Hilda Hensley was Patsy's mother.
Charlie Dick did confirm that Patsy gave a number of dresses to Pearl Butler.
There is the possibility that Mrs. Hensley made this one for Pearl and was
never a "Patsy dress". I have looked through the pictures on this site and
others and have not found one with Patsy wearing this dress. If such a picture
exists and any of you could help, it would be most appreciated.
The dress can be viewed at:

Hi everyone ! thought I would stop by, and see if anything
was new. It's great to hear that there is going to be a
Patsy Cline look alike contest in New York City. If I had
the chance to go I certaintly would attend. Sorry I missed
posting hear on March 5, the day we lost Patsy. It is
always a sad day for me. Is anyone aware of any tributes
that may have been done on TV March 5, in honor of Patsy?
I don't know about the rest of you all, but I think we
are way over due for a new patsy CD for '99. Lets all keep
our fingers crossed. Also for all of you that haven't
filled out Lisa Flood's survey for the new Patsy Cline
figurine should do so. I think we all need to show our
support for this item. So make sure you check it out
at "Patsified",
Lisa will certaintly appreicate your help. Thanks!

For many years I always wistled the tune "Crazy" not knowing who the singer
of it was. I always held (and still do) the tune dear to my heart. One day,
on my way back home from work, I turned on one the local country music
stations. At the time they were having a flash back weekend. They were
playing many old country tunes (names escape me for I am a newcommer to
country) and there, on the lonely road, "Crazy" came on. I sang along (with
my squeeqy voice) at the top of my lungs. Then I heard the anouncer mention
the name Patsy Cline. I am glad I heard the name, for now I can't get enough
of her. Patsy, though you may be long gone, you will never be forgotten. Your
music sudes the acheing heart.

Hey fans, in the 3-9-99 issue of Country Weekly on page 42-43 there is an
unplished photo of Patsy and a singer Frankie Ray. There is also a nice story
about him meeting Patsy and the advice he gave her. Certainly a surprise to
me to see this. Interesting note: I have a publicity photo used for The Flame
club. It is the standard cowgirl outfit with her hand on knee. The photo is
courtsey of The Flame Theater. I would say she was in the club in December or
early Jan. At the bottom are appearance dates of other Jan. performance. Could
this all be tied together? Remembering Patsy! Always, Jimmy Walker 2-28-99

recording of it in this region.....but a dj had told me once that Gogi Grant
had a big hit with it...he said it was #1 on the charts for over a year....
that is UNHEARD OF THESE DAYS......I wonder if any other artist ever had a
hit song #1 for that long a time period......awesome! I can't remember the

After about 6 amstel lights earlier today, I have concluded that "The Wayward

Curious though, about the vintage of the record vis a vis the Gogi Grant
recording of the same song.

Hello, I am a huge Patsy Cline fan!!! She is my idol!! I am only 13 but I
don't care, I only like older music, but Patsy's music is timeless. I have
NEVER heard a voice like Patsy Cline's and I doubt I ever will. I have her
tape and cd, but I am so mad because I have her record but my record player
is broken and I have to buy a new one so I can't listen to it.
My favorite movie is defenetly "Sweet Dreams", I have it, and I watch all
the time, just like I listen Patsy's music all the time. I also like "Coal
Miner's Daughter". Patsy Cline is the BEST!!!!

Hello everybody! As you can see on my email adress, I'm a very big Elvis fan.
But 7 years ago a friend of mine let me hear a tape with some countrysongs. On
the tape was also "I FALL TO PIECES", and it was love on first sight. I had
heard women sing like she did. My first Patsy CD was "Sweet Dreams" (OST) And
from that moment on I bought more music from THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
My favorite is "Sweet dreams" and "Crazy", but "Crazy dreams" is also one of
the songs that I play everytime. I have also read "I FALL TO PIECES" from Mark
Bego, and I think that it is a very good book. And now there are two stars in
my life: THE KING ELVIS PRESLEY and THE QUEEN PATSY CLINE. Both they sing for
the real King, but here on earth we will always REMEMBER THEM.

I have always been a fan and friend of Patsy's. We played
together when we were kids. I only lived three houses
from her on Kent Street. I have written a couple of
poems about her, and if you go to Hoss' Wall on the
Homesick Texan,
you will see one of them. She was one of a kind, and there may be
impersonators out there, but there never will be another Patsy Cline.

Patsy Cline! I listen to her music every day! I even sing and dance with my
daughters (ages 2 and 1) in our living room!!! When my two year old was first
born she had colic... All I had to do is put in a Patsy CD and she would be
off to sleepy town. I even had a dream once that I was at a show and she asked
me to come on her bus and fix her hair! I was born in 1973, the year she was
inducted to the Hall of Fame, and that's a land mark for me!! I love you
Patsy... Always have and always will!!

I suspect I'm like many Patsy Cline fans. She died long before I was born.
I never appreciated her music until I was in my early 20's, hanging out at
the bars, looking for romance. I never thought I'd like her style of music.
Good to see I'm not the only one.

I am eternally grateful to my friend Artie Flynn for introducing me to the
music of Patsy Cline many years ago. When I need a lift, I put on a Patsy
Cline CD. When I listen to Patsy, I always feel that she is singing just for
me, my own personal concert. No other singer's music touches me this way, and
probably never will.

Hi, I would just like to say I love Patsy Cline. She was gone before I was
born, but I was raised listening to her and alot of the other country singers.
Plus a few rock and roll, but it was the good rock. Not some of the stuff you
hear today. I just want to say Patsy was one of the best. I love her music.
Especially "Crazy". I love that and "I go walking after midnight". This was
just a note to let you know she is thought of alot. But, after looking through
here you already knew that... Thank you, Pam

Hi Everybody! In the movie, "Sweet Dreams", there is a scene when Patsy sings
"I Fall To Pieces" for the first time....in that song, the part of the song
when the Jordanaires sing background ("OOOOOOOh-Ooooo-ooooo-oooh....how can
I be just your friend?") is very different from the studio recording of "I
Fall to Pieces"....In the movie, the Jordanaires are MUCH louder....almost as
if the moviemakers are exaggerating their part of the song to prove the point
that they are in it (much to Patsy's protest)....has anyone else noticed that,
and is there a reason that filmmaker exaggerated the volume of the
Jordanaires....and, how did they do it?

Chaska, MN USA - Monday, February 01, 1999 at 04:09:14 (MET)
Comment: A master tape contains several channels (even if it is mono), and
the various microphones in the studio can be connected to different channels.
Then, when the recording is mixed, you can choose to make one channel louder
than another, or vice versa. It's up to the producer and/or the engineer. In
the movie, I believe that they have remixed the songs rather heavily, and
they have also added extra instruments that were not on the original
recordings. /Per
Wanda, - that reminds me of another tune that Trisha Yearwood did called
"X's & O's" - one of her first big hits.....the second verse says something
like, "Well, she's got her God, and she's got good wine, Aretha Franklin and
Patsy Cline............" Somehow The Cline and wine go together!!!!! LOL! Oh
well, Howdy to everybody......hope the new year is treating ya'll well!! God

Comment: The song you are referring to is probably "A bottle of wine and
Patsy Cline", recorded by Marsha Thornton in 1990. The song is on her first
album "Marsha Thornton" (MCA MCAD-42319). This CD is hard to come by these
days... I found my copy at a used records site on the net. It is a very nice
song. Part of it is also played in the "Remembering Patsy" video that is
still available. /Per
Hi Everyone, I am situtated in England. I have always been an avid fan of
Patsy Cline, I have most of her CDs. My favorites are "Crazy" and "I fall to
Pieces". I have the Patsy Cline Story on Video and watch it at least once or
twice a month. Glad to have found other fans at last. She IS the greatest.

I first heard of Patsy Cline about 11 years ago when my sister and I were
watching HBO and we saw the movie "Sweet Dreams". I was mesmorized by her
voice. Jessica Lange portrayed such a vivid character. I had never heard of
Patsy Cline, but I felt that this was exactly the way she probably would have
interpreted the songs. I have been a Patsy Cline Fan from that day forward.
Patsy Cline has touched my life through the years in many ways. The songs she
sang have so much meaning and I can relate to a lot of them. I'm of Mexican
descent and am a singer of the Mariachi style of music. Pedro Fernandez, a
famous Mexican singer, sang "Crazy" on one of his albums. This just goes to
prove that her life has touched people throughout the world. I watch "Sweet
Dreams" whenever I have the opportunity. I sing her songs during my shows
with Mariachi arrangements, yes in English. I just wanted to share a little
of the story of how I became a Patsy Cline Fan. Patsy: "We love and miss you
imensely. May the Lord above keep you in his loving care. We'll never let
your memory die!" /Orlando-Antonio Jimenez, Las Cruces, New Mexico

weeks ago my sister and I were in this antique shop. I heard "Crazy" playing
over the radio and heard this woman say that she could not do her work and
listen to Patsy at the same time. I thought lord, if you only knew the half of
it. By the way, I have been writing some songs and as soon as I can get my
guitar I will be working on them some more. I have wanted to be a country
singer all my life and one of these days, hoss, its gonna happen. Yall have a
splendid day.

Just some quick info here. For any of you that have been
trying to order the "Discovery" CD from "CDNOW", you can
also get a copy of "Discovery" from "Collector's Choice"
music. When I ordered my copy a couple of months ago, they
still had over 100 copies left!! I'm not sure of their
URL, but if anyone does, please post here for those
interested in this superb CD. One reason someone might
want to order from "Collector's choice" is, they stock it in their
warehouse here in the states. "Discovery" CD is considered
to be "discontinued", and that staus is from any company
you order from. Most other company's from what I have
been told order "Discovery" from somewhere in Europe.
So if your having a problem with other CD company's,
give "Collector's Choice" music a try.

Re: Life's Railway To Heaven
This is a good question - who penned this song? - that may draw any avid
Patsy Cline fan to the music archives. Take a moment to remind yourself
where country music got it's origins, then you'll know how really old
this song is. When English, Scottish, and Irish settlers immigrated to
America, they brought with them a numerous collection of old folk songs
and dance music handed down to them from previous generations. Religious
music (hymns) were typically sung by these people so I have read. Just
like the black slaves (who brought over the banjo), many songs were ones
meant to reflect hard times and the life struggles experienced in the
new world. Most of them were meant to uplift people's spirits. "Life's
Railway to Heaven" was what Owen Bradley and Patsy recalled as an old
southern country song from the 1890's entitled "Life is Like a Mountain
Railroad". Unfortunately, many songs of that time had no copyrights so
those who may have penned many soulful laments found their works later
became public domain. However, there was a Kentucky country songwriter
named Will Hays in 1871 who penned "The Little Old Log Cabin In The
Lane" later recorded by radio performer, Fiddlin' John Carson. Now, he
may be worth looking up to see if he wrote the song now credited to song
arranger W. S. Stevenson known now as "Life's Railway to Heaven" sung
beautifully by Patsy Cline. Apparently, Bradley recalled Patsy's gospel
tunes broadcasted on Wally Fowler's All Night Sing show and believed
Patsy would like to record this song along with "Just A Closer Walk With
Thee". Patsy enjoyed singing in Church - especially gospel music, and it
seemed fitting both for country music fans and for herself. As it was,
Patsy was having a frustrating, bad time in her own personal life and
her last hit Walkin' After Midnight did not put much money in her
pocket. Why not sing a woeful song - sure fit the moment.
I hope this information will be helpful to you. I enjoyed writing to
you. From one PC fan to another - Take care. Sincerely, Beth Singer.

Wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on Patsy in the 1998 year. It was a
great year as usual. We saw many great things happening.
In January we saw "Always Patsy Cline" end its limited run at The Ryman Aud.
in Nashville with Mandy Barnett and Tere Myers. In April "Just A Closer Walk"
returned to Nashville's Texas Troubadour Theater for a 2nd season with Lisa
Layne and Danny Pickett. We also saw Midwest Magazine do an indepth article on
Patsy that included many rare pictures. We also got the great news that Patsy
would be honored with a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999. Always
Patsy Cline Fan club continue to grow to over 800 members. Several members
got together in Sept to hear the news that the Patsy Cline musuem will open
in the year 2001! Trips to Nashville for the fan club were highly sucessful
including a trip backstage at the Grand Ole Opry thanks to Geo. Hamilton IV.
In the fall the book, "The Real Patsy Cline" was released in Canada. Dec. saw
the release of the movie-bio on Patsy "Sweet Dreams" including a new cover. In
the fall the 1995 Branson show, "Patsy!" had a North America tour with Gail
Bliss reprising her role. Of course the internet interest keep growing. Lisa
Flood's "Patsified" site opened in March. Later in the year Lisa's site and
this site were honored by CDNow for being the Patsy sites to be! Amber Miller
opened her sucessful mailing list at Onelist. Many new fans were able to get
together. Mandy Goff opened a mailing list so the fans cold chat about the
movie "Sweet Dreams".
--------------------------------------
With all the great happenings there were some sad events as well. In 1998 we
saw the passing of several great people. One of the most shocking was that of
Hilda Hensley, Patsy's mom in Dec. A great piece of history went with her. She
was the one in the early years and throughout the years supporting Pasty.
Driving, sewing, advice, etc. We also saw the passing of Owen Bradley (Patsy's
prducer), Floyd Cramer, Grandpa Jones, Justin Tubb, Carl Perkins, Cliffie
Stone, Tammy Wynette, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry. I know I left someone out,
there seemed to be another after the shock of the last wore off.
--------------------------------------
1999 looks great for Patsy fans. We are all excited about the April release
of Mandy Barnett's new Sire CD. Hopefully MCA can come with another great
product for Patsy. We get a trip to Hollywood for the Star. There will be a
3 rd season of "A Closer Walk" in Nashville. In March the much anticipate
porclein figurine of Patsy is to be released. Of course Labor Day weekend all
of us fans get the opporitunity to meet up in Winchester VA.
Well here is to 1999! Per, thanks for this great site and allowing us to get
all the Patsy news out and help others. To all the fans, thanks for keeping
Patsy's memery and music alive. Together we can make a difference.
Always, Jimmy W. Charter member of Always Patsy Cline
ps please excuse any typos I may have made, I tried to catch 'em.

Hey all, In regards to Shane's notice of the charts. This has happened the
past few years because of the Christmas releases. Give it another week or so
and Patsy will move back up there. Always, Jimmy

I'd like to add alittle to what Jimmy said in his last
posting. Hello everyone; from a very cold, snowy, and
icy Wmspt, PA. I am ready for Spring, you all, but that's
another topic, of course. On top of TNN rereleasing
"Life and times", A&E network is rereleasing their
biographies on country singers. Yes, Patsy Cline is
included. If you already have the VHS "Remembering Patsy"
that's basically what A&E is running their special
from. Of course, it is an edited version of this
documented biography first released by Hallway Productions.
Although it is still fun to watch it on national TV,
gives Patsy Cline the exposure she well deserves.
Have you all checked out Billboard Magazine lately?
Patsy Cline's chart position has dropped somewhat.
For all of you that are not familair with Billboard
Magazine, they keep track of how everyone is doing
selling wise. From dance music to country music.
Patsy Cline is listed under "Top Country Catalog albums".
She is charted for: "Greatest Hit's" which as been on
these catalog charts for about 610 weeks, at 8 million
and some odd copies sold. Other CD's of Patsy's have
charted in the past, like "Heartaches" which has sold
under the platuim statis. "The Patsy Cline Story" also
charted briefly around #22, selling at 1 million copies.
You will not find this information on the web, you can
only refere to it in Billboard Magazine itself.
Each week this magazine is updated. so check it out,
you can usually find a copy of billboard in your
local record store. Take care, everyone. Shane
