Hi Per, just want to wish you and all my "Patsy Puppies" all around the
world... a very Merry Christmas. Keep up the good work. Love reading all the

I have just visited this site for the first time and was so happy to find it.
I am so happy to see there are other Patsy fans. I have loved Patsy since I was
10 years old. I am 25 now. My daughter who is 6 loves her too. She is always
singing Patsy songs. I have many pictures and have just recently started to
collect as many Patsy memorbilia that I can get. Thanks so much for this site.
It makes us all connected in a way.

Comment: Thanks for your kind words, Mandy, and thanks for visiting! /Per
I got a mail today, from Erica Dawn, with some very exciting news! Things are
finally beginning to go her way! I have gotten Erica's permission to post her
mail here:
"Dear Per, Hello, how have you been? It's been a long time since I have talked
with you. I'm writing to tell you that a lot of wonderful things have happened
since the last time we chatted on the MSN chat. Well, now is a good time as any
so... I'll start at the beginning... Back in August I sent in a demo CD and
letter to a man named Robert Metzgar of Nashville. Basically, the letter said
that I had been singing for sometime and I really was looking for more of an
opportunity than I had here in Butler. The songs I sent down were, 'Someday
You'll Want Me', 'Have You Ever Been Lonely', 'Leather and Lace' and 'If You
Ever Did Believe'. Well... I must have said something right in the letter,
because Mr. Metzgar called me the day after I sent it, saying that he has never
heard a voice like mine, thought it was really unique! At first I was a little
afraid to get involved, but I soon discovered how well known he is in
Nashville. He is friends with Garth Brooks, George Jones. Has worked with Frank
Sinatra, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Willy Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn,
and the Dixie Chicks, just to name a few. He is in the Independent Producer
Hall of Fame and has had 13 gold records with artists' he's produced and 10
platinum records!
We began working together, and he said that what he does is... I go down to
Nashville to record around 10 songs (never recorded). The songs came from the
unreleased music catalog of Warner Bros. and Sony record labels. He sent me up
around 200 songs and I had to narrow it down to 10 that I wanted to record. And
we set up a date to come down and record them. So Nov, 15th, 16th and 17th, my
parents, brother and I flew down and I recorded them! Per, the songs that I
heard played back to me are wonderful! And that was just the raw recording
(music and voice), they weren't even mixed yet! The songs in order I recorded
them: 'Leavin' On Your Mind'(I had to do this one!), 'Deeper Waters', 'I Don't
Deserve You', 'Honky Tonk Angels', 'No Pain, No Gain', 'Real Love', 'Leavin' Standin' Tall',
'She Took It Like A Woman', 'After Losing You' and 'Don't Worry About Me'. The last
song is really my favorite, ah, I don't know how to describe it, but the music
is a slow traditional country waltz, then a beautiful steel guitar and mandolin!
I took my time with this song, because it was so slow, I really added my own
style. After I finished recording it, there was complete silence... Then Mr.
Metzgar came over to the speakers and said, 'Well... you just sang the
absolute SHIT out of that song!' It was wonderful!
Now, what they are doing now is mixing the songs to get the best possible
result from them, you know, fixed the little mistakes and such. I should
receive the final product sometime this week! And the best part is, these are
MY songs, I can sell them, and even give them to radio stations! (Have any
stations that would play country music?) Mr. Metzgar's job now is to first,
finish the songs, then he puts together a package deal to major record labels.
With the help of my image consulant, yep that's right, I have an IMAGE
CONSULANT! They are going to 'pitch' me to the major labels. The months when
the labels sign new artists are Jan, Feb and March. Things are looking very
good, and he even called Tammy Wynette's manager she had before she died, and
told him about me, saying, 'you really need to hear this girl!'
So... to bring you into the present, I'm going back down to Nashville on Dec
14th, 15th and 16th for a photo shoot with the help of my image consulant. I
will be getting a complete makeover! And the photographer taking the pictures
has worked with ELVIS!!!!!!!! So, now I just waiting for the final mix of my CD
and the trip to Nashville. Well, I gotta jet, I just wanted to give you an
update on things... that are finally starting to go my way! Write soon! And
take care! Much Love, Erica Dawn".
Well, folks, isn't that something? I am absolutely thrilled to bits about it!
This is what I hoped would happen when I first heard her sing, and made
her page a couple of years ago! Attagirl, Erica Dawn!
And click here to see two recent pictures,
taken in Nashville!

It's been along time now I've come to see these pages. I was looking back and
reading some of the first pages... Lots of good info. I see many names that
over the years I seen the love and connection to Patsy. I was wondering if
anyone knows if or when the Patsy museum will open. If so, how will they fill
it. I have many many items that I will someday either want to give or loan
them. Please e me with info if anyone can. There is a member of the fan club
that use to e and call but somehow we have lost track... Does anyone know how
to reach Gary Spradlin. If so please e me or e him for me. Thank you

Patsy didn't record any duets while she was alive. However, she did perform
several duets on TV that have been preserved. In addition to the two
kineoscopes Per mentions below, there is also footage of Patsy singing a duet
with Cowboy Copas on "I'm Hogtied Over You" and in a quartet with Copas, Eddy
Arnold and June Valli on "Reuben, Reuben I've Been Thinking" from the Ozark
Jubilee in 1960. Plus, from the Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry, two duets with singer
Bobby Lord on the songs "Remember Me (I'm The One Who Loves You)" and "Someday
(You'll Want Me To Want You)". The latter duet was taped in Feburay 1963, just
a couple of weeks before the plane crash. In 1981, Owen Bradley created 2 duets
featuring Patsy & Jim Reeves, by combining their master recordings of "Have
You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue)" and "I Fall To Pieces". RCA
released "Have You Ever Been Lonely" in November 1981, and it reached #5 on
Billboard. MCA released "I Fall To Pieces" in June 1982, and it reached #56 on
the charts. In the late '80's, an unauthorized duet of "Lonely Street" was
created with an unknown female singer. The song was not supposed to be released
to the public, but it did end up on the LaserLight 3-CD Set (Volume 3, to be
specific). In 1993, for the CD "Honky Tonk Angels", Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton
and Tammy Wynette added their Harmony Vocals to Patsy's original 1960 recording
of "Lovesick Blues". And, of course, there was also the CD "Patsy Cline Duets,
Vol. 1", featuring duets of Patsy with Bob Carlisle, John Berry, Beth Nielsen
Chapman, Glen Campbell, Mila Mason, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Crystal
Gayle and Michelle Wright.

I am a singer who adores Patsy Cline and have been told I sound a bit like
her - I would really love to do some of her songs on a CD, but I don't know the
first thing about where to go for permission to use her material - does anyone
have any suggestions - If yes, please email them to me and use PatsyCline as
subject, thanks.

Starting Nov 20 . . out of the blue, started hearing Patsy singing "Faded Love"
over and over and over in my sleep. The next night it was something else . .
"Back in Baby's arms" . . and then Thurs . . another one . . any ideas??? I
have a Patsy Cline cassette . . but haven't played it in over a year. Kinda
bizarre . . Any idea what she might be trying to tell me from the other side?

I am from Charles Town, West Virginia, which is about 20 miles from Winchester,
Virginia, Patsy's hometown. WXVA, the local AM radio station, was hosted by a
DJ named Bill Peer who fronted his own band named, if I recall correctly, The
Melody Boys. Patsy sang in his band and played the local VFW and American
Legions in Charles Town and nearby Frederick and Brunswick, Maryland. On Route
340 between Charles Town and Berryville, Virginia is a roadhouse that was named
"Rainbow Road" initially, then changed to "The Old Orchard Inn". I played that
club, on the same stage as Patsy, in the 1960s. It was a real rough joint with
fights and occasional gunfire in the parking lot. After the "Sweet Dreams"
movie the name was changed back to "Rainbow Road". The club can be seen in the
movie during the argument between Patsy and Charlie. One of my school
classmates was a girl named Patsy Peer, Bill's daughter and named after Patsy.
Just some brief reflections from a guy that was fortunate to be from the same
area and and be intimately familiar with the local influences on Patsy's life
and career.

Just received the CD in the mail of Patsy live at the Cimmaron Ballroom in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is incredible. I have already listened to it 4 times in 2
days. It is the first time I have actually heard her speaking voice. Wondering
if Patsy recorded any duets with any other singers. I have never seen anything
at the store but hoping she did. Thanks, Kim Horn

Comment: As far as I know, Patsy did not record any duets, apart from the two
Christmas songs recorded on Kinescope film, which are described on the
recording sessions page, but those are not
available to the public, unfortunately... /Per
Hello friends: I'm a professional tango singer and writer who love to our
inmortal Patsy Cline. How I'd love to get in touch with Patsy's fans and
fellows (we're part of her life and legacy, too)... Just I know how I'd love
it!!! I'm writing a short story with Patsy as a character. Someday, I'll try
sing to her memorie. Thanks to let me be a little (but passionated) part of
this miracle called Patsy Cline.

Hello everyone: I have been a Patsy Cline fan for many years. I imitate Patsy
and have won several contests singing "Crazy". I have also sang her songs with
live bands. I hope I don't sound like I am bragging, because while I believe
that my voice is within the same range as Patsy's was, and while I also believe
that I can imitate her with the best of them, I do not claim that my voice
surpasses hers by any means. I was wondering if anyone might know how I could
purchase Patsy's songs on "Sheet Music" for my pianist. Thank you one and all
for any help. God bless all of you and God Bless America.

Dear Per & Patsy Fans, Hi... A friend of mine recommended this site about
Patsy & I'm glad my friend did because there are so many Fans of Patsy's on
it with all kinds of information etc. Can anyone tell me where I can find the
biography about Patsy written by Ellis Nassour? An associate told me about his
book about her & how great it was. I would appreciate any information
regarding Nassour's book from any of you Patsy fans! I work for a major airline
carrier & I don't get alot of time home, but it's great to have a good book
to read when I'm away. Denise

Hi there, I was kinda new to the site, when I was surfin and everything and it
shocked me to see how many people were Patsy Cline fans along with myself...I
am 31 yrs old, and was not really into country music... But however I do love
the movie "Sweet Dreams", everytime it comes on VH-1 I watch it, along with
what other channels it comes on, I find movies like that very interesting to
know how people lived before they became famous... Along with talkin to people
who knew famous people as well... I am really amazed as well that a child of
Patsy Cline is taking the time and initative to reply to the messages posted on
the websites as well, most kin to famous people will not even give the public
the time of day... Keep responding, Julie... Plus the fact 6 months ago I was
in the state of Tennessee while driving a friend there and did not even know
that's where Patsy Cline lived... Right around where I went through to get to
where I was goin in Tennessee... But that's been my biggest dream is visiting
the Grand Ole Opry... For I am into country music myself... I am a fan of
Patsy's as well, I love her song "Walking after midnight" along with the song
"Blue Moon of Kentucky"... But to know as well that soo many authors that have
written books about her too have posted messages on the message board as
well... If there is a Patsy Cline Fan Club I would definitely like to join
it... Thanks for letting me visit for your message board... This was my first
time here and I am most honored at everything I have read on the fan forum as
well...

Just wanted to thank everyone for answering my Patsy questions. I had a great
response. This is by far my "favorite" Patsy site. I have learned a lot of
great things from this site that I did not know about Patsy. I think one of the
reasons she is so loved, besides her wonderful voice, is that she appears to
have had the kind of personality that makes us all think she could have been
our best girlfriend. Patsy was one of those rare people that proved to be truly
larger than life.

I have been away from the site for a while, and just took some time to catch
up. I have done my best to obtain every song Patsy recorded, love reading or
hearing stories about her, and adore seeing photos, but it is beyond me why
anyone would want to own a piece of the plane she was killed in for anything
other than research purposes. I would much prefer to remember Patsy as the
gutsy, talented, down-to-earth woman that she was, and to hear how her music
touched so many lives (as it has mine). Belated congratulations to Julie and
family!

I have been a Fan of Patsy Cline since I first heard her singing "Crazy" many
years ago on the radio here in Atlanta. A lot of entertainers have sung her
songs, however, none of them can duplicate her talents! I have learned a great
deal about her life and friends in a book called "Honky Tonk Angel" written by
an author named Ellis Nassour. My friends told me about this book, so I bought
one. I have now learned much about Patsy after reading this book. Number One

I recently saw a movie on Patsy Cline's life called "Sweet Dreams", and am doing
research on her life because I thought she was a very intriguing woman.
Everything about Patsy is very interesting. I would love to visit her home town
in hopes to learn more about her. I have a friend who is more of a fan of hers
then I am. I had heard of her before, but got more interested in her in the past
three and a half months. I would have done anything to meet her if I had been
born when she was still alive.

George, the duets single, "That Wonderful Someone" was the first single off
that CD and I beleive the only one. I have a CD single of it. If my memory
serves me right, it did chart in the lower end of the charts. I thought it
would have been a great on the Christian Music Charts, but I don't know if it
charted or not. I also remember another song charting, I think "Lovesick
Blues". It was not a single but an album cut that got a lot of
interested/airplay. I know Bill Cox has some great reference resource. Looking
forward to his input. Jimmy W

Hey there everyone! I think this site to Patsy is cool! I started listening to
Country music about 10 years ago & I really enjoyed hearing Patsy Cline. I
found a book at a Nashville Bookstore by an author named Ellis Nassour &
after reading it, I really felt that I had learned alot about Patsy Cline. I
couldn't put it down because it was so very interesting & factual! Also, I
enjoy reading all of the letters sent in on this site. Nathaniel Taylor,

Hey all... Just a few quick questions; But, first of all, Kim, I can answer
some of yours. Yes, Patsy co-wrote two songs she recorded: "A Stranger In My
Arms", and "Don't Ever Leave Me Again", under her real name, Virginia Hensley.
Second, Patsy's instrument was the piano. She learned to play by ear at a very
early age, but sort of gave it up when she started her recording carrer. There
are a few nice publicity photos of her "tinkering away" at a piano, though.
Anyways, my first question is geared towards the Patsy Cline Duets... When
Volume One was released in 1999, I had heard that they were planning on
releasing/promoting "That Wonderful Someone" as the first single of the album.
Can anyone tell me whatever happened there? Did it get radio play? Did it
chart? Were any other tracks off the Duets CD released as singles? My second
question is regarding the 1962 version of Patsy's "You're Stronger Than Me".
Does anyone know if there exists a stereo copy of that track out there
somewhere, on some album? Any information at all will be helpful. Thanks.
Always, George =o)

Hey all. Just rec'd a brochure on a new video series, Opry Family Reunion.
Patsy is included in the 8 vol. set. She performs "Leavin' on Your Mind" from
a Pet Milk Grand Ole Show. Yes, a video. I don't know if it is complete or not.
Mandy Barnett is also on the same video. The set includes alot of artists from
Patsy's era, along with some of the new folks. There is 4-5 hours of rare b/w
footage from the 50-60's. Call 1-800-980-8479 or go to
www.gabrielcommunications.com.
I am hopeing these will be under the Christmas tree. Not sure if I mentioned
this already, but there is a short article on the lady that took one of the
last pictures of Patsy in KS. It is in Country Music Mag. with Toby Keith on
the cover. Contact me privately if you would like to get a copy of the picture.
Mildred does sell them. Always, Jimmy W, charter member of APC

Just a few questions I wonder if anyone can answer for me about Patsy? Did her
mother raise her children after she died or did they stay with their father?
What has happened to her first husband? Did he stay in their hometown? Did
Patsy graduate from high school? What was Patsy's favorite song of all the
songs she sang? Did Patsy write any of her songs? Did she play any instruments?
My library unfortunately has no Patsy books, but they have ordered one for me.
Just too curious to wait on the book. Would appreciate any answers. Thanks to
everyone.

Hello, my name is Faye Morgan & I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. In the
late 1950's & early 1960's I lived in Nashville, Tennessee. I was involved
in Country Music. Loretta Lynn & her husband Mooney lived with my husband
& myself when they first came to Nashville. As Loretta was starting to get
on the Grand Ole Opry, she became friends with Patsy Cline. Loretta, Patsy,
Dottie West & I used to hang out together in Nashville. I have several
photos on my Website that you might enjoy. Before Loretta came to Nashville, I
was already close friends with Jean Shepard & her husband Hawkshaw Hawkins.
As you are aware, Hawkshaw was killed in the plane crash along with Patsy
Cline, Cowboy Copas & Randy Hughes. As the years passed, many stories &
books were being told & written about these Country Music Stars. The Best
one that I have read that really describes Patsy & her life was the one
titled: "Honky Tonk Angel - The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline" by Ellis
Nassour. Nassour's Website is very balanced & honest & the photos in it
are great! I would encourage you to visit his Website. I did & it was fun!
Thanks! Faye Morgan
P.S. I Loved This Site As Well! A Great Job & Tribute!

Patsy really is timeless! I'm 21 and I think she's brilliant! She has a very
special voice that no other singer can match, and she was also talented in
that her music could not be categorised as country or pop. It is such a shame
she was killed so tragically. Her music is very special to me. When I'm feeling
depressed her music makes me feel better, but I also listen it when I'm happy.
Patsy had that ability. I was fortunate to go to Virginia and Tennessee in the
summer, what a beautiful place. I can imagine Patsy there. A great lady.

My family and I recently saw "Always Patsy Cline" performed in Tulsa, OK. I
thought it was incredible as did almost everyone in the audience. People were
singing and clapping. It was wonderful. The very best thing for me happened
half way through the show when I looked at my 10 year old daughter sitting next
to me singing and clapping. She is a very big Patsy fan. On my other side was
my 73 year old grandma doing the same. I realized why Patsy is so popular. Her
music is timeless. There is something for everyone in her music. Whether they
be 10, 33, or 73. I always get a lump in my throat when I hear her sing "Faded
Love". It was my dad's favorite song and he has been gone for about three
years. When I hear Patsy sing the song it makes me smile and think of him
playing that song on his red gretch Chet Atkins electric guitar. Patsy is
timeless. My grandma, daughter, and I share the love of Patsy's music. It is
something that bonds us together. What a wonderful legacy she has left.

I think of myself as possibly the biggest Patsy fan alive. I have an entire
room in my home (den) dedicated to her. I have actually run out of wall space.
I have met many of you, including Charlie and Patsy's mom several times in
Winchester during the Patsy Labor Day celebrations. I happen to have 4
authographed photos of Patsy that I am willing to sell if anyone is interested.
I was going to offer them on eBay but thought I'd offer them to fans first. One
of them has her name signed as "Kline" instead of Cline. Can anyone explain
this?. I used to have an old album with Patsy singing one of her songs, and
even the album cover spelled her name with a "k". I have since lost track of
that album but will search for it. If anyone is interested in the photos (3 are
8x10 and 1 is 3x5) please email me. My best to all. Paul

In the '60's and early '70's, there were a couple of albums released by female
artists on small labels that were touted as "Songs By Patsy Cline" that would
contain one or two Patsy songs, plus a couple of the artist's own recordings.
More recently, there was an all instrumental album called "Hats Off: A Tribute
To Patsy Cline". The only major Patsy tribute album was Loretta Lynn's 1977 MCA
album "I Remember Patsy". Loretta covered nine of Patsy's greatest hits, and
the album ended in a recorded conversation between Loretta and Owen Bradley
(who produced both Patsy and Loretta for Decca). This album is currently
available on CD as "Loretta Lynn Sings Patsy Cline Favorites", but does not
include the conversation with Owen.

It was a pleasure, as always, to visit the Patsy Fan Forum... And I just
have a couple of comments to make in regard to Julie's comments about all
the Patsy Cline biographies. Of course, I have the utmost respect for
Julie and her family. Her comments are general, but there is an edge to
them. Regarding my Patsy biographies, which were the first and still are
the most definitive, let me say ONCE AGAIN and, hopefully, FOR THE LAST
TIME, I was not the one speaking. I did not add my voice to the attributed
quotes from the interviews that were given to me by Patsy's mother, her
husbands, intimate friends and those who worked with her throughout the
country. If someone said something positive or negative, they said it. I
didn't. And, if you know my books, I tried VERY HARD to be very objective
and balance good comments with negative.
In the 18 years between Patsy's death and my first biography, very, very
little was written about Patsy.
Two years before my first book, I had enough interest in Patsy (because of
friends such as Loretta and Dottie, and because of meeting Charlie through
Loretta) to do a series of magazine articles that renewed interest in this
great entertainer's legacy. I know that there are things in my books the
family does not agree with, but they should take those things up with the
people who said them. Believe me, much was said that I found unprintable
because either I found it in bad taste or just not necessary. My
overriding concern at the time was that I did not want to offend Patsy's
mother, who began the project with me, or her children, who really did not
know their mother. If you read my books with an open mind, anyone but a
very select few (as has been proven in the huge amount of fan support and
letters I've received through the years) will see the books are a tribute
to a fascinating, loving, gutsy, big-hearted woman who made a lasting
impact not only on country music, but also music in general and pop culture
around the world.
The nicest comments I get from fans is not that they enjoyed the book but
that they were moved by it. If a writer can touch someone's heart by what
he or she writes, I believe that is a gift. I attempted to bring to the
reader, through the hundreds of people I interviewed, their impressions of
Patsy and Charlie as they knew them. So, it does sting a bit when I see
sniping at my books, even if it is couched in vague comments. In spite of
comments made about me and my book through the years by Charlie, I have
kept mum. I have no ill will toward Charlie and I don't know why he has
ill will toward me. If he could allow Hollywood to create such untruths in
the "Sweet Dreams" movie, even though he was paid huge sums of money, I
don't think he should be pointing fingers at anyone. And, I would like it
to be known that, when contacted by Charlie, or by Julie or Charlie's
brother Mel, about certain things in my book that they didn't agree with,
not only did I go back and research this, but if I felt they were correct,
I changed these sections of the book. I set out to write a book about a
great lady and her music and her era. Of course, not everyone is going to
agree with everything and not everyone is going to like what they read. As
I look back, I am proud of my accomplishment and proud the books have
moved so many fans through the years, and I have absolutely no regrets
about anything written in my books. I always like to point out that at
least I made the effort to record Patsy's life on paper when, it seemed,
no one else cared and no one else did. Thank you.
I would also like to add that, through the years, when asked by various
organizations, such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, Winchester's
Handley Library, keepers of the Patsy Cline Archives, the Winchester
Visitors Center and the developers of the proposed Patsy Cline Museum, I
have donated materials from the book, including tapes, photographs,
posters, etc. and, for fund-raising purposes, copies of my book.

Great site. Good to see so many Patsy fans show so much support. Anyone know
where to find tribute CDs for Patsy? Has there ever been one? Seems Hank
Williams has one every week but not one for Patsy. Actually, Hank has yet
another one coming out with Emmylou, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and a bunch
others. I think Emmylou could do a great version of "Yes I Understand". But
that's just me ;)

Hello Julie, With respect to his privacy... Could you just tell us what your
brother, Randy, is up to these days... So little is known about him... Does he
ever involve himself with the estate of your late mother and her memory? Ran
into him in Madison, TN several years ago and was floored at his uncanny
resemblance to your late mother. Thanks!

Hi, this is Eric Mills. I was selling the belly and tail section of Patsy's
plane. I still have the belly section if anyone's interested, it's about the
size of a car hood. I am selling it for $8,000. I am sorry if I have offended
anyone, that's not what I'm trying to do. I did clear it with Cowboy Copas and
Randy Hughes family and also Charlie Dick (her husband) but anyway, I'm
sorry!!!

Hi all... This is Julie. About books... If you want to know about Patsy, the
book of letters from her to her friend is the best way to see Patsy. There are
a lot of books, and I think there is some accurate info in them all. There is
also so much junk in them, it would take all day to point it all out. And that
is not just my prejudice opinion, that is the truth. (If you check it out, some
of the books even contradict themselves). I felt that to get a real look at
Patsy, read what she wrote.

I am fairly new to Patsy Cline but there is no voice like hers and will never
be any person like her again. I see her as the original woman who could do it
all and do it all well. She did things that women just did not do in her time
and she did them with spunk, dignity, and did it her way. Love this site. I am
sure I will be back many times.

I absoultly love Patsy. I never heard about her till my grandfather gave me her
album. Since then I listen to when ever I get a chance. She is an inspiration,
now this year I bought her soundtrack (Pro Performance), "Sing like Patsy", so
when I go to another pageant she'll be with when I have to sing. To me I
suggest that if you really want a good album. Purchase any of these they are
the best. I really love her and so does all of my family.

For those of you familiar with the successful musical, "Always Patsy Cline",
you will be familiar with the Louise Seger character who befriended Patsy in
May of 1961. The real Louise Seger has been a friend of mine for more than 15
years now, I'm proud to say. In recent years, her health has been on the
decline... So I thought it would be nice of all you folks who have enjoyed the
show over the years, to send her a "get well" wish, or just to say hello and
remind her of how much her story has touched lives over the years... I think
she sometimes forgets that. Louise can be contacted via email at:

many more. I am wondering if her Gospel recordings are currently available.
"Life's Railway to Heaven" is on an LP that I got long ago, but my turntable

Cline on TV. She might be on Biography the show, but they're offering to let
people vote on who they like best and she's one of the choices. The other
choices are good too. The Judds, Randy Travis, Clint Black are my favorites,
anyone of them can win and I'll be happy! God bless.

The professional production, "Always Patsy Cline" will be performed in Irene on
Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Kaija Bonde, who looks and sounds nearly the
same as Patsy - does a tremendous job portraying her. Robyn Starks Holcomb
plays Louise Seger, who was one of Patsy's fans. The performance also brings a
full band. Sitting in the audience will be like travelling in a time capsule -
back in time - back to the 60's when Patsy was in her prime. I hope you have
the opportunity to be there. For tickets call 605-263-3255, 605-263-3392 or

I wrote the following story for our local newspaper from information I
researched on the NET. Thought you may be interested.
- Just who was Patsy Cline? -
by Cleo Waters
Patsy Cline was the first female solo artist inducted into Country Music Hall
of Fame. Her classic records include "Walkin' after Midnight", "I Fall to
Pieces", "Crazy", "She's Got You", and "Faded Love". Her birth name was
Virginia Patterson Hensley. After she married Gerald Cline she shortened her
middle name to "Patsy" for her stage name. Later she divorced Gerald and
married Charlie Dick. She had two children, Julie and Randy. Patsy's mother,
Hilda Hensley, sewed the cowgirl outfits that she always wore. She got her
started in talent shows when she was a young girl and Patsy got her break to
stardom on the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scout Show. In her rise to fame, Patsy
demonstrated bold aggressiveness and because of that many people in her
hometown didn't much care for her. But in spite of what the hometown people
thought or felt, the rest of the world loved and respected her passion and her
talent.
Her records soon hit the top of the charts and she was in demand in the
entertainment circuits. Patsy loved her fans and she spent much of her time
writing letters to them. Often she wrote late into the night from wherever she
was and often it was on the hotel stationery that she penned her letters. She
spent hours after her concerts signing autographs and talking. She used to call
them on the telephone too; it was not unusual for her to talk to a fan for half
an hour or more. She became very close friends with one of her fans and she
told her about her premonition that she would die in an accident. That
intuition proved to be true. She survived two automobile accidents then six
months before her 32 birthday, she was killed in an airplane crash on her way
back to Nashville from doing a benefit in Kansas City. Ironically, the benefit
was for the family of a disc jockey who had died in a car accident.
The weather was very bad overhead after the Kansas City benefit and Dottie West
(Patsy's friend) asked her to ride back to Nashville in the car with her. At
first, Patsy agreed, then - unfortunately - changed her mind and rode on the
plane with her manager, Randy Hughes and two co-performers Hawkshaw Hawkins
& Cowboy Copas. When Dottie expressed concern about the plane and the
weather, Patsy replied, "Don't worry about me, hoss, when it's my time to go,
it's my time!" Right before the plane left Kansas City, Patsy spoke with her
mother over the telephone - her last words to her mom were, "Well, I'll get
back to you." Everyone on the plane died in the crash.
Thirty-eight years after her death, her popularity continues. It seems that
Patsy's genuine love for her fans continues even now. Not only do those who
remember her love her music, but people who weren't yet born when she died love
her music and join her fan club. In 1993 the US Postal Service commemorated her
with a Patsy Cline stamp and - finally - after all these years the people in
her home town have begun reconciling. The town that she claimed as her home,
Winchester, VA, is, at last, embracing her memory. In addition to raising funds
for a museum and sponsoring a Sing-a-like Patsy Cline Contest, on May 2, 2002,
her home town will dedicate its annual Apple Blossom Festival to her memory.
Patsy's grave marker in Winchester, VA reads "Virginia H Dick (Patsy Cline)
9-8-32 - 3-5-63. DEATH CANNOT KILL WHAT NEVER DIES".

Patsy was fantastic! I usually get to go to Nashville about once a year or so.
When I do, and I get to see the museums and things, it makes me feel connected
to her, even though I never knew her. I always have a fun time going. I have
some great comedy for you all. I was backstage at Depeche Mode in '94. There
were the few fans that were a little 'too much'. While "I" was always taught to
be myself. So I see this going on, and I just blurt out, "I wanna sing PATSY
songs with Martin!" (He is known to do this). I'm happy to say that he got a
big kick out of it. The moral of the story is, it really goes to show that
Patsy's music is timeless AND universal, and it can be enjoyed by all. Take
care everybody!

Patsy Cline was truly a one-of-a-kind vocal innovator. As a volunteer radio
programmer on a community station in Minneapolis
(www.kfai.org), it is heartening to know
that her recordings are being widely re-issued by various labels. I also
feature Mandy Barnett, who owes a lot of her vocal stylings to the artistry of
Patsy! "Good & Country" can be heard on the web at the above address 1-3PM
Central time on Saturdays. We play 70 years of traditional country music,
western swing, honky-tonk, etc. Much of what we play is out of print and has

Regarding the pieces of wreckage being auctioned on eBay... I think it is sad
that anyone would consider selling something of that nature for profit. What is
even more disturbing is the fact that there are people who would kill to have
such a momento. The way I see it, it is only a painful reminder of how
tragically she died. In 1988, I spoke with MC Hollingsworth in Camden, TN who
told me about the rear peice of the plane in his posession... You may recall
that his older brother WJ Hollingsworth (now deceased) was the one who
discovered the wreckage that fateful morning in 1963... He stated then that he
would sell it to me for 500.00, I passed on the offer needless to say... I was
also made aware of several artifacts on display in Pfeiffer's Old Country Store
there in Camden. Whether Mr Hollingsworth is still alive, or who owns the
wreckage now, is beyond me... Is Patsy's musical legacy not enough that someone
would want a piece of what took her life?

I just finished reading hours and hours (days and nights) of postings here on
this site since it's beginnings.... I must say it's been fascinating reading!
Couple of questions about going's on, what happened to Erica Dawn and her
appearance on TV? Has she been able to continue her singing career? And Julie,
how is Johnny Russell faring? Last post on him said he had his legs amputated
but wasn't doing well. He is in my prayers. Congrats on becoming a grandma, by
the way! My father is a huge Patsy fan, and because of this, so are most of his
7 kids, myself included. I am going to print out all 20+ pages of this forum
(Crazy! I know! Pun intended!) for him to read since he has little use for the
Internet. I know it would make his day! I also just won (on eBay) "The Real
PATSY CLINE" video ($4.99!) because you all mentioned it as a must see. I just
saw "Sweet Dreams" for the first time the other night, which in turn sent me
scurrying for the Internet and finding this site! Thank you, Per, and everyone
who has made this site and this forum so very interesting and entertaining! I

I just want to report that the Plane pieces that are scheduled to be auctioned
on ebay on Aug 31 for a starting price of $100,000 are not the only pieces
known. As reported earlier, the Hall of Fame has pieces and Loretta Lynn has
pieces in her museum near my home. As a matter of fact, because I live so close
to the crash site, I have talked to many people who picked up pieces of the
plane. I am amazed to hear that the brothers from Jackson believe these pieces
are worth $100,000. I have kept quiet about this, out of respect for the
entertainers on board the plane, but I have in my possession what I believe is
the most important artifact from the plane. I have the actual steering column
recovered from the crash site. It has the PIPER COMANCHE logo in the center. I
acquired it directly from the former Sheriff of Benton County, TN, where the
crash occured. He has given me unquestionable proof as to authenticity. I even
have an owners manual for this plane, sent to me by Piper aircraft, showing
photos of the steering column, and confirmation from them that this is the
correct steering column for that model aircraft. I also have numerous other
items recovered from the crash site, including: packets of unused guitar
strings that can be seen in photos taken the day after the crash, plane parts,
a horsehead and horseshoe cufflink, and the actual Civil Aeronautics Board
(FAA) report that was filed at the police station locally. It lists all by name
and states that they all died instantly. It also releases custody of the plane
parts. If you are a serious researcher working on a book or documentary, please
feel free to contact me, and I will make these items available if they can
assist in your research.

I have been a Patsy Cline fan all my life and grew up listening to WSM and WWVA
in the early fifties. My youngest grandson is now 4 1/2 years old and has
listened to tapes by Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Jim Reeves most of the time
when he has been at our house. In the past 5 or 6 months he has started singing
with the records and has become an avid Patsy Cline fan. He has asked that I
find all the records, CD's, movies, books etc. about Patsy. At the moment the
big question is who is singing the duet with Patsy on the recording of "Lonely
Street" on the 1993 released CD "Today Tomorrow and Forever". Thank you for
this wonderful site and all the other information I have been able to get for
him. Of course he is driving his Mom & Dad Crazy because although they love
Patsy, they don't usually listen to the songs all day. But if you're with my
grandson, that's all there is. I think it's great.

Comment: No one seems to know who the woman in "Lonely Street" is... Patsy's
husband Charlie can't remember, either, but what we know is that this is a
"fake" duet, made as an overdub experiment, probably during the 80's, and it
was never supposed to be released, but somehow it ended up on some of the
master tapes with Four Star material. /Per
There was an article in today's paper in Winchester about it. Looks like they
are starting the bidding at $50,000.00 on e-bay beginning Sept. 1 for 10 days.

I heard a rumor about some of the parts of the plane Patsy was in when she died
being auctioned off. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Also, a collector friend of mine has large piece. I believe this may have been
on display with the Brooks and Dunn tour this year. Always, Jimmy

Hi Fans, I have been browsing the Branson, Missouri webpages... And I am unable
to find the schedule for yet another, or a rerun of the "Patsy" show...A Closer
Walk With Patsy....coming to Branson. Our local radio stations are giving
info...but, we are so rural the station fades before we get the 'rest of the
story'. Does anyone know if there is going to be another "Patsy" show in
Branson, in the near future? My husband, especially will be waiting a reply...
Thanks guys... We LOVE PATSY....:))))) Priscilla

I was just reading the postings, and noticed the question from Pat about a
tribute song to Patsy, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins. There were at least
two tribute songs released. The first was called "Angels From The Opry", sung
by Rusty Adams, which was released within a month after the plane crash. The
second was called "Missing On A Mountain", written by Tommy Dee and recorded as
a duet with Bonnie Owens, also released in 1963. Hopefully one of these songs
is the one you're thinking of.

Hi, I just wanted to let all of you know that I own the only pieces of the
airplane that really survived of any size. They are both the size of a car hood
(a piece) and the tail section still has the numbers on it and the serial
numbers inside it, and I also have a signed piece of paper from Mr. Hollingsworth.
If anyone would like to see them, you can go to
Patsified, and I am on
there with the pieces, and if you would like more pictures you can e-mail me
and I'll also send you a pic of the piece of paper, too. Thanks!!!

I really liked your site. I have always listened to Patsy. Her and the other
country music artist who laid the foundation for today's country music. Keep up
the good work... Some of these artist may not be with us anymore, but their
music will live on in us forever. Also, I've just started a new club, Good Old
Country Music on Yahoo. I'd like to invite you and anyone who reads this to
join. It's a club where we can remember what the heart and soul of country
music felt and sounded like. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone.
Again, keep up the good work...

My name is Stacy, I am 25 years old. I was wondering about Patsy Cline's Fan
Club? I would love to join it. I have listend to her as long as I can remember.
I was so shy about singing until my mother played "Crazy" and I broke from
being shy. I love her voice and style. I went out and got as much as I could
find of her's. But something is still missing. I hope this letter finds it way.
Thank you so much for letting me share my feelings with you. Stacy Breece, one

Hello Per & all... I just wanted to stop by and let everyone know... We
have a baby! My daughter Michelle & her husband Nathan are the proud
parents of a new baby boy. Little Noah Coleton was born on Tuesday at 2:06 pm
central time. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 14 ozs and is (of course) a beautiful
baby. All the family is doing well. Great Grandaddy Charlie has been to see
him, too. He asked the baby to go out for a burger with him, but the baby has
been more tired than hungry! Maybe later. Thanks to all for the notes and well
wishes. You guys are the greatest, and I am passing them all along to Michelle
and Nathan. I will be back with more later, but I have to go so I can make
ready for the little family to come stay a couple of days when they leave the
hospital tomorrow. Again, thanks to all... Julie and all.

Hi all. I am so excited to see a Patsy Cline web site. I am a big fan as are
all you. I happen to think that Patsy was the best singer of all times. I call
myself Jane Cline after her. I do sing her songs, and people say I sound like
Patsy. Obviously, no one can ever come close in my books. Well, I am so glad to
see all of you in here. My very best wishes to Julie, Charlie and the family.

I have read many entries from Julie Fudge recently and it seems that she has a
very definite belief in God. What, if any, influence did her mother have on her
religious convictions? Was Patsy herself a religious woman? I have read that
she got her start singing in the choir? Is this true? Also, I just wanted to
let you know how much I enjoy reading and "surfing around" on your site. It is
just wonderful to read the messages from Julie and Charlie. I find myself
scanning through the messages to get to the "blue parts". I hope they both are
doing well (along with the other members of the family), and that they know how
much their involvement in the continuing career of their loved one means to
those who truly love her music. If only we all had someone to look out for our
legacy like Patsy does!!! I wonder what she would say if she knew how many
lives she touches every day with her music??!!

Hi Folks, does anyone here know of a tribute song that came out in late '63 or
early '64? It was a tribute to Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas.
A bunch of us sat around the other evening wracking our brains trying to come
up w/ the title and artist so that we could look into getting a copy of it.

Hello to Per & all... Sounds like a good time to stop by. This is Julie
Fudge. I am Patsy's daughter. I stop in every now & then and see how things
are going and say Hi to all. The latest news from our house is that we are
waiting for my daughter Michelle to have her first child. She and her husband
Nathan are getting ready for the birth of a baby boy. He should be here in the
next couple of weeks. This is the first of a new generation in our family.
Charlie is going to be a Great Grandaddy, and yes, I know, I am a Grandma. They
are going to be a great little family. My boys are starting school in a little
over a week. Andrew in the 7th grade and Chris in the 8th grade. Michelle will
not be going back to college this semester, but Nathan is going back in a few
weeks. I so enjoy reading the forum and getting email from everyone, and
everywhere. Thank you all for caring so much. So good to see new names on the
list. Thanks again, Per, for all you do. Everyone stay in touch!

Hi Patsy Cline Fans: Tried to catch my first message but I am new to the
computer and make many mistakes, so if you will bear with me. I am sorry I did
not introduce myself the first time. I am the father of Steve Pierce who was an
active member, and is now deceased. He would have burnt this computer up if we
had had one at the time. However it is his collection that we need to pass on
to others. He does have some rare albums, 78, pictures, etc in the collection.
One example is the "Showcase" album via Decca, another is "Greatest Hits", he
has many albums via Decca. You may wish to e-mail

desire, we'll try and satisfy. Thanks, Bob Pierce

I cannot believe I found this site. It has taken me 3 hours to see the site,
and I'm not so sure I have covered all of it. I first heard Patsy when I was a
small girl. My grandparents were taking me on a trip to their cabin up north (I
used to live in Florida) and on the way my grandmother popped in a Patsy Cline
tape. I can remember thinking "Oh God, what do they have me listening to now?"
I was probably around the age of 7 or 8. It only took a few songs and I was
hooked. I can honestly say that I have never heard or have yet to hear a more
beautiful voice than Patsy's. When I saw the movie "Sweet Dreams" for the first
time I balled my eyes out! I just couldn't believe she died the way she did. A
wonderful woman gone just like that! Over the years I've probably seen that
movie at least 20 times, if not more. Everytime it comes on TV I've got the
channel set and I wait for it to come on.
I bought a Patsy Cline tape years ago
and I believe it was the Greatest Hits collection. Honestly, I haven't pulled
it out in a couple years. Well, the movie came on VH-1 tonight and of course I
was tuned in waiting for it. It had been so long since I had seen it that I was
so anxious for it to come on. I sat here watching it and my mom (I live with
her since I am in college) crawled on the couch with me. We sat here and
watched it all the way through and both balled our eyes out. We sat here
talking about it and I thought I wonder what ever happened to her children, her
mother, or Charlie? So I decided to do a search and I was shocked to find so
many devoted fans. It was truly a wonderful feeling to know that people still
enjoy her music so much. I read on the site that her mother passed in 1998.
Yet, the question still remains-- what happened to her children and husband?
Does anyone know? Please e-mail me and let me know. It's one of those things
that you just don't rest until you know (OK not that drastically, but I am
anxious to hear what has happened to them). Tiffany :)

Hi, my name is Eric and I live in Jackson, TN. about 30 minutes away from where
Pasty crashed in Camden, TN. Ok, here it goes... Back in the early 70's my dad
and brother went up to Camden to research the plane crash (my dad was a tresure
hunter) they were down in the crash site where it went down and my dad was
using his metal detector when this old man walked up and started talking to my
dad. His name was W.J. Hollingsworth and if you've ever read any books about
Patsy's life then you know that he was the first man on the scene at her crash.
Well, him and my dad got to talking about it and the man asked my dad to give
him a ride home, so my dad did and when they got there the man told my dad all
about the crash and showed him two huge pieces of the airplane that she crashed
in, one being the tail section (which is the most important piece, because of
the numbers) and the other being a big big piece of the belly.
Well, the man
sold my dad the belly piece for $20. I didn't really get into it until about 3
months ago when I realized what I had. Me and my brother, the one that was
there then, went back up to Mr. Hollingsworth's house to see him and he still
had the tail section (a little bit bigger than a car hood) with all the colors
and the numbers on it, so we bought it, too, for an undisclosed amount. We had a
lawyer to fix up a piece of paper saying that the old man was the one that
removed it from the crash site, since purchasing these we have been in contact
with: Mark Melody from the Country Music Hall of Fame, W.S. Holland (Johnny
Cash's drummer) and he talked to Marty Stewart. I know what I have is
priceless, and I was wondering if maybe some of you could help me out with how
to go about selling it, and if so please e-mail me. THANKS for your time.
Please e-mail with any questions or information. One other thing, me, my dad,
and my brother are on a Patsy Cline website with the pieces. If anyone wants to
see the pieces, I'm on the website Patsified, Bill Knight did an article on me,
my dad, and my brother. Thanks!!!

The US version of "Showcase" was probably released before the UK version. Until
the late '60's, Decca US always used a portion of the back cover to promote
albums by that artist, or other albums if this was the artist's 1st or 2nd
release. I believe that "Showcase" was the first Patsy Cline album released in
the UK, so they didn't have another Patsy Cline album to promote at the time.
I have a copy of "Sentimentally Yours" on Brunswick, and that copy has a
promotion for the "Showcase" album. As to what Jimmy said about covers varying
slightly, I have several original issue copies of Patsy's albums from around
the world. I have just purchased a copy of "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits" on
Festival Records, From Australia, and the cover is identical to the US Decca
release. In addition to the Brunswick copy of "Sentimentally Yours," mentioned
above, I also have a copy issued on Festival. The cover for the Brunswick LP is
identical to the original Decca release, but the Festival cover is drastically
different. Per has copies of all three "Sentimentally Yours" covers on his
records page.

Bernard, I know in the US the "Crazy" roundel is not included on all the LP's.
I would venture to guess the roundel were placed there when "Crazy" was
released to promote the single and to sell more LP's. I have also noticed US
and other countrys that the LPs were done differently. I think the songs are
the same but the artwork differs. That is my 2 cents. Jimmy

I have a very similar album on the Brunswick label, LAT 8394, which is very
similar except the "Includes Crazy" roundel is not on the front and the four
images of LPs on the back are replaced by a picture of Patsy in a cow girl
dress. Which came first, and are they in fact the same with different labels.

Stacy, the album you have was released in 1964. According to the Official Price
Guide to Country Music Records, it's valued around $10, depending on condition.
When Patsy became so popular after the releases of "I Fall To Pieces" and
"Crazy", Four Star Music decided to cash in and license all of the Patsy
recordings they owned to a number of budget labels. These include Everest and
Hilltop. Many times, the original recordings were altered by adding additional
instruments, or reprocessing them electronically to simulate stereo. I hope
this helps answer your questions.

I have liked Patsy Cline since I was a small girl. Knowing that, a friend of
the family gave me a copy of a Patsy Cline vinyl album entitled "Today,
Tomorrow and Forever". The cover bares a painted portrait of Patsy signed by
Broomfield. The upper right corner says JS-6001 and JM-6001. It carries the
Hilltop Records logo and is a product of Pickwick International. The back
shows a photo of Patsy and an article by Ren Grevatt of Music Business
Magazine. I have no clue about this album's date of release or worth, but I
am curious. I have had it for about 15 years and just ran across it in a
cabinet. The cover is in fairly good shape with some spliting at the bottom,
but all of the artwork is intact and clean. The records itself is in pretty
good shape, too. Any information about this album would be appreciated.

Patsy's mystique haunts me endlessly. I listen to her sing each and every day.
She targets the essence of emotion. She unlocks the innermost part of me and
challenges me to be a free spirit - like her. I am obsessed with her ability to
reach into my soul and unleash my emotions. God grant, I shall meet her in His
infinity, and she will, with her uncanny wisdom, touch my soul.

Hello again, Per! Thanks for answering my emails, will get that picture to you
as soon as I find it again. Also, Bill Cox never returned my email, and there
is a great desire for Louise Pickering, to get in touch with him again. She has
a great fount of knowledge, and first hand stories and accounts she could pass
on, and has passed on to me. She is one of my dearest and closest friends. Oh,
my new email is michaellmj01@msn.com - I never thought so many would want to
contact me about her, but I have answered all emails, and if I don't know, or
can't pick up the phone to find out, I don't give you the wrong info. I just
say, "I don't know". Lol. Also Per, do you know exactly how much money is
needed to be raised here for the bell tower? If you could email that figure to
me, I would appreciate it as well. The coins left here on her marker are being
collected, and there are other stories behind that, but they are collected, and
used to save to get power to the bell tower so it may run as designed.
I ran across a site, and a picture of "Patsy", and was furious to see it was someone
trying to look like her, and SELL that photo as HER! Along with the CD. And I
tell you, it is NOT Miss Patsy! I will get the web address to you all, so you
know not to patron the site. You would not belive the history and memories that
are here for the telling and sharing - if done the asking. I am amazed that I
speak with people daily who knew her on such a personal level, actually touched
her, hugged her, was a part of her life. It's awesome, I think all of us fans
have that awe of her still being out there tangible to us. I must say, I am so
lucky to have been born and raised where I was. I have a cute story to pass on
from Loiuse, but will add it in to the queue another day. As well as my remarks
for Julie and Charlie.
As I have said before, Patsy saved me... Pulled me thru alot, as is in the site
here, back in April. I cannot express deeply enough, or loudly enough, how much
this site is needed, and how utterly endless and awesome it is. Great job! On
my most down days, I just come here, put Miss Patsy on the CD, and roam and
look. I can't express how deeply se touched me, still does, and how much she is
still pulling me thru on a level that nothing else could reach, to keep me
going. Where ever you are, Miss Patsy... Thankyou. And for Charlie, Julie, and
Randy - thanks for the site as well, and you too, Per! Unbelievable, just great.
Be well, and take care, all of you. Bye - A devoted fan always, Michael

Hi Per -- I just had to share this with you and all Patsy Fans. On Thursday,
June 21, 2001, I was invited to join Donald W Thompson, Jr., Special Agent in
Charge at the Dedication cermony of the new Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Richmond Divison Headquarters, 1970 East Parham Road, Richmond, Va. Reception
immediately following R.S.V.P. Invitation must be presented for admission to
dedication. I am coping this to let you know just how big this event was and
the reason I was invited: A special framed collage of Patsy items such as
picture-t-shirt-brochure-pencil-pin, etc. is hanging outside of the Special
Agent's office-because the F.B.I. wanted Patsy Cline to be a part of their
decoration and the Agent is a big Patsy Cline fan. I guess one could say that
Patsy is definitely in HIGH COTTON!!! It was such an honor to be present at
this dedication and to have my picture taken in the FBI building with Patsy and
Special Agent Thompson. Judy Sue

I remember buying my first Patsy Cline album. Unfortunately my house burned
down and the tape with it. The album was called "The Best of Patsy Cline".
I've searched the web in vain, maybe you could help. I'm looking for one song
in particular. It starts off like a Frank Sinatra song (40's big band). Patsy
catches her man flirting with another woman. The guy drops a picture from his
wallet. It's from the above mentioned album. If you know the song, send me the
title, please.

Comment: The first song that comes to mind is "Too Many Secrets". /Per
Ken, while the basic story line to "Sweet Dreams" is correct, the facts have
been "hollywoodized". I would suggest viewing "The Real Patsy" or "Remembering".
The story is correct on these. Plus you get see Patsy sing her songs. Also of
note is a rare picture of Patsy and fan Anna Marie of MD in this weeks Country
Weekly Magazine. You might be able to view it at
www.countryweekly.com. The photo is
in the fan section. Always, Jimmy

I have never been a country music fan before. I was at my girlfriend's house,
and while killing time waiting for her to get ready, I started playing her
grandmother's old records... Patsy Cline was one of the records I played. I am
only 18, and my girlfriend's grandmother is 58 (nothing personal, but that's
ancient by my standards!) and I don't think we have anything in common other
than the fact that I love her granddaughter... Well, Patsy Cline has captured
me!!! I cannot get enough of her music... It is like her music put me in a
trance, and I cannot escape. WOW what a voice... It is like nothing I have ever
heard... I have now bought (through amazon.com) every Patsy Cline CD I can get
my hands on... I watched "Sweet Dreams", but I wonder, is that really Patsy's
life story, or is it Hollywood Stuff? Well, now I am really excited that I
found this site. Patsy Cline is a voice that is timeless. I am sad that many
kids my age will not ever hear of her. Ken

I love Patsy... Her music is timeless and always will be. I liked the movie
"Sweet Dreams", but I do not feel the film did her justice, and from what all I
have read about her I dont feel that she was portrayed correctly (I think
Jessica Lange was great!) but the script seemed weak and it sort of by-passed
her musical achievements and lacked the show business savy that surrounded her.
I was curious as to what other Patsy fans thought about the movie, how she was
portrayed, etc. Do you think that there will ever be another movie based on her
life? How about the play, "Always, Patsy Cline", think it will ever be made
into a film? Comments appreciated.

I know that everyone loves Patsy. What I need to know from other musicans or
artists, have you ever heard of "Song Birds Promotion"? What is this company
like? Any help?
