Hello! Wonderful website and I love Patsy Cline. Does anyone know whatever became of
the relatives of Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins? I know that the 1963 Plane Crash was
especially tragic for Mrs Randy Hughes, who lost both her husband and her father, Cowboy
Copas. How is she doing? What about the other family members. Any postings are appreciated.
Thank you for the fine website. Fred

THE FIRST TIME THAT I EVER HEARD OF PATSY CLINE WAS WHEN THE MOVIE SWEET DREAMS CAME OUT.
EVER SINCE, I'VE BEEN A FAN OF PATSY CLINE MUSIC. MY NAME IS PATSY SO I THINK THAT HAS
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. I READ ABOUT HER IN BOOKS, INTERVIEWS ON TV AND TODAY I FEEL THAT
I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN HER. I LOVE TO SING CRAZY. I TRY TO SING IT LIKE PATSY AND HAVE BEEN
TOLD I CAN. THAT IS THE SONG THAT HAS BROUGHT ME OUT OF A SHELL I NEVER KNEW I HAD. PATSY
CLINE IS A LEGEND, A WOMAN WAY BEFORE HER TIME, HER MUSIC AND HER VERY SPECIAL VOICE WILL
NEVER DIE. TO ALL YOU GREAT COUNTRY SINGERS OUT THERE, PLEASE RECORD A PATSY CLINE SONG
AND BRING THEM BACK TO US ALL.

Excellent website for an excellent singer! I live in England, but I'm going to be in
Abingdon, Virginia from 15 to 23 March. I think Abingdon is a relatively long way away
from the place in Virginia where Patsy lived, but I was just wondering, is there anybody
reading from Virginia or Tennessee who knows of any shows or anything like that, or any
sites of interest connected with Patsy, that I could visit? Last time I was in Abingdon
we travelled down to Nashville and I saw Patsy's cowgirl outfit in the Opry Museum, it
was absolutely fantasic, so I can't wait to come back again. If anybody knows of anything
that might interest me, please would you e-mail helen.smith1 @blueyonder.co.uk (without
the space). Thank you!

I was in Winchester today and, although I didn't stop in town, I drove past Patsy's house
on S. Kent St. I was wondering if the house is still being rented or has someone finally
taken the incentive to do what should have been done a long time ago; turn it into a museum
in honor of one of the first Great and Original female Country Musicians of all time??? If
there is a foundation of some kind, they could even offer walking or trolly tours to help
fund the museum. I'm sure there is enough interest since Patsy has such a large, world-wide
fan base (myself included)! I was almost 4 years old when the world learned of her passing,
but I have great respect for the Big heart she had, her sincerity, dedication, and the legacy
she left. My best goes out to the family of this American icon!

there any plans of restoring it to what it used to look like when Patsy lived there? If
anyone knows anything, please e-mail me! Stephanie

I know several people are planning to go to VA but if you can't do that and TN is closer;
Camden, Tn will be having a memorial March 6, 2004. They are scaling back. I spoke with
the COC today. They will start the day out with a Patsy Cline sing a like contest. They
will have local talent performing. They will have a memorial at 7 pm. I just realized I
forgot to ask where it will be but I think it will be at the local high school. If you
plan to attend ask me for directions or you can call the COC 731-584-8395.
They are trying to get an Opry member to speak that evening and hoping to get Namoni
Morrison to perform a small show. Namoni has portrayed Patsy in APC in central Tn and is
quite good. Let me if you are attending. Jimmy W

I like Patsy Cline and her music was very good and her friend was Loretta Lynn and they
were best friends in this world and they were the best friends. Patsy was very young when
she died in a bad airplane crash in March 1963. Thank you so much from her fan Debbie Ann

A very fitting tribute to a great singing star who left us before her time. But we have to
believe that God's plan for Patsy were more fufilling than anything we could bestow on her
in her short time with us here in this life.

like to go to the Patsy Cline labor day celebration at Winchester, VA if I could get an
invitation to come. It's a shame that a great star like Mrs Cline lost her life so tragically.
I enjoy her music so much of all the stars since then and now she will always be my favorite.

Just got the following update from Judy Sue:
*****
Wayside Theatre will give us a special rate of $21.00 per person if I can guarantee 20
or more reservations for the 5th of March. This does not include the meal before the
performance on the 5th..the cost of the meal is $7.00 ... total will be $28 for the evening.
Great price! The meal will be fried chicken, potato salad, green beans, relish tray, rolls
and something apple for dessert, the cast will be present.
Now, here is the important part... reservations for this group rate have to be made through
me. Checks should be made payable to CPC for $28 (including show and meal)... I have to have
a count by February 18th - because seats are being booked as we speak and some of the nights
are booked solid!!! Folks can call me at 1-800-662-1360 to book at that special rate for
March 5... March 6 bookings can be made through Wayside Theatre at $26.00 per seat. There
will be a wine and cheese reception for $3.00 for the 2 performances on Saturday, March 6.
If more than 20 folks respond before the 18th of February, I can make arrangements for those
extra seats. Real important that I have a count for the group rate by 2/18/04. JudySue
*****
I know of several fans already making plans to attend. This will be a great event to promote
CPC and its efforts.

That's right, darlins!!!!! This is a fantastic idea, thanks once again to the heart and
mind of Judy Sue. The folks at the Wayside are wonderful, and are going to cook this meal
themselves!! Please get there if you can, it is a beautiful, loving tribute to Patsy, and
a great way to continue to help CPC in its quest (and ours), to get a museum for our gal.
It's also a wonderful way to love and celebrate her on such an otherwise sad occasion.
In tribute to Patsy, Judy Sue also asks that any of us who can attend, to wear something
RED, as that was our gal's fave, as y'all know. In rememberance to Patsy, red is the deal,
ok? Also, each person attending is asked to bring a single rose, that will be put into one
large vase. It will be taken to Patsy's resting place at Shenandoah at the end of the
performances.
Also, there will be, as Bill says, and exhibit there. If any of y'all that are fairly
local to Winnie and have anything cool that ya wanna display for this, please contact
Judy Sue.
This will be a wonderful event, so please, if you can try to get to Winnie for this.
THANK YOU JUDY SUE, YOU ARE PATSY'S BEACON!!!!! See ya there!

The Wayside Theatre's first presentation of the season will be "A Closer Walk with Patsy
Cline," a musical by Dean Reagan. Located on Route 11 South in Middletown, VA, approx. 10
miles south of Winchester, the Wayside is the second oldest professional theatre in the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
Cline was America’s first female Country Music Star, known as the Queen of Country Music.
This is a loving tribute to Patsy’s career from her hometown, Winchester, VA and WINC radio
roots to dusty roadhouse gigs, to Grand Ole Opry, Las Vegas, and Carnegie Hall and to her
death on March 5, 1963.
The Wayside's production of "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline" runs January 31 through March
28, and is being staged in conjunction with Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc. A percentage of
the ticket sales for the entire run will go to CPC for the Museum project.
A special memorial weekend will be held March 5-6. On Friday, March 5, the Wayside will
offer fans a supper consisting of Patsy's favorites (Fried Chicken, Potato Salad, etc.)
along with a reduced price for the play. On Saturday, March 6, there will be two performances,
matinee and evening, with a Wine and Cheese reception for the cast and fans at each performance.
Due to limited seating, you are encouraged to make your reservations directly with the Wayside
as soon as possible.
CPC is working on an exhibit of Patsy memorabilia to be displayed during the Memorial weekend.
Arrangements have been made with the Holiday Inn on Millwood Pike, in Winchester, for special
rates for fans staying over March 5 and 6.
Wayside Theater: 540-869-1776
Holiday Inn: 540-667-3300

I just loved Patsy Cline and would always as a small child have my mom give me a nickle so
I could play a Patsy Cline tune on the jukebox. Has I would sing along with her at the age
of 5 I would be watching the airplanes take off at a small airport in Portsmouth,Ohio my home
town. I just love to hear her sing. Several people have told me I sound so much like her and
would I sing one of her songs when I was with my band. So "Crazy" and "I fall to Pieces" would
be a couple that I would do. But my favorite is "She's Got You".

I came to know of Patsy Cline when I was 12. I was visitng my cousin when she was playing
one of Patsy Cline's records. I fell in love with her music the first time I heard it. I
did not listen to much country music back then. When I heard Patsy sing I knew I was hooked.
Now I love country music. A few years later, I rented the movie "Sweet Dreams". I wanted to
learn more about Patsy Cline. When I was a junior in high school I found out from my mother
that Patsy Cline is a distant cousin of mine. I think she may be my third cousin. About the
time I found out about Patsy Cline and her relation to me, I made a collage during my junior
year about Patsy. I'm a big fan of Patsy!!!!! I would like to know everything about her.
That's why I visited this website. If anyone could help me out and let me know things about
her I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey, Y’all...
Time to saddle up and get goin’ for the Cline. Most of you know me as the big mouth of the
bunch, and evidently, it’s paid off, I guess... There is a Vision Committee in Winchester
that has been working on ideas about how the Patsy museum will come together. ALL ideas are
on the table: What to do with Kent St, how things will look, how to preserve the precious
artifacts, etc., etc... Anyway, I have the honor and privilege of serving on this committee
as a fan-liason. I am also working in that same capacity with CPC. How did it happen? Who
knows, probably because I never shut my face, or somethin’... Anyway, the point is, is that
I want to serve you, and Patsy in every way that I can. I want us to talk, brainstorm, debate,
let it all hang out, about what your ideas, thoughts, concerns, and questions are. The folks
in Winnie care about that, and want to know what WE think. So, let’s get talking... The next
meeting is next week in Winnie, and I’ll be there. I attended one a few weeks ago for the
first time, and was thrilled to no end at the love, concern, and energy put forth for Patsy
by these folks. They really respect our opinions, and want to include us in this process.
Well, now’s our chance!! We have all been frustrated at times in Patsyland, but as I’ve said
before, the winds of change, they are a’blowin’, so let’s reignite the fire, and have some
dam good talkin’ here! CPC and the group is also very interested in oral histories as part
of the museum. So, if anyone knows anyone at ALL who has a story about Patsy in any capacity,
bring it on! We can hash it all out here, which may stimulate some great discussions, and any
of y’all can also email me.
I am at your service, and hope to help represent us in the best way possible. No idea or
thought will be disregarded. Let’s kick ass for Patsy!!

I'm searching for a recording of a song that contains lyrics referring to Patsy Cline.
The problem is that I don't know the name of the song or who performs it, but the lyrics
include "I could make a diesel sing just like Patsy Cline." I'm trying to find a copy of
the song for my youngest sister - she heard it on the radio years ago in the Washington
state area and frequently sings it for us, but we've never found the actual recording. If
anyone could help I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks!

from the final studio album, and suddenly I find myself amongst a whole bunch of folks even
crazier than me over Patsy!! I was in my early twenties and Patsy had been gone for most of
those years when I was introduced to her. Her music has been the soundtrack to my life for
the twenty years since then. I need to check out the rest of this site, but for now I just
wanted to say "Howdy!" (which, believe me, we don't actually say downunder but it seemed
appropriate ...hehe.. when I get to know you all better I'll say Gidday!) Thank you all so

Hi folks... On 12/5/03 I had the honor of being in The Las Vegas Hiltons Main showroom and was
able to witness Logan Wells and her great band do a tribute to Patsy Cline. While nothing will
ever bring Patsy back, anyone who loves Patsy's music should try at some time to catch Logan's
great tribute... After the show Logan held a meet and greet... Everyone loved her... She also
has a CD with Patsy's music and a CD with her own stuff on it, which is great also... Logan has
a web site, www.loganwells.com and her e-mail is
savocaprod@aol.com and she does answer all mail...

I lived next door to Patsy in Nashville before she moved to Goodlettsville. I used to babysit
Julie & Randy. Patsy was a very sweet, beautiful lady and always very nice to me. Before
she hit it big, her Mom, Mrs. Hensley used to call us to reach Patsy. I would go next door and
tell Patsy she had a phone call and she would say, "can you stay with the babies until I get
back?" I would stay and she would go to my house to talk to her momma. She even wore one of
Mother's skirts on a show she did cause she didn't have anything she wanted to wear.
Patsy was just as down to earth as you could get. I remember she used to wash her "stage" clothes
and hang them on her clothes line. I had a dalmation puppy at the time and he took great pleasure
in taking her "shiny, sparkly" clothes off the line and drag them to my house. My parents would
get mad at me cause I couldn't catch "peppy" fast enough before the damage was done. My parents
said we were going to give the dog away because he was too destructive and may hurt the relationship
we had with Patsy. Of course I cried and Patsy came over and told them not to give my puppy away,
she said "Don't give that baby's puppy away. He saw something shiny and wanted to get a closer look.
They were just clothes and they can be replaced." But to no avail, my puppy was given away although
Patsy & I tried to rescue him.
I have nothing but good thoughts about Patsy, Julie & Randy. When Patsy's plane went down,
I remember waking up and hearing my Mom crying. She told me what happened and it broke my heart.
Something so tragic happening to someone so nice and young with 2 small children. Her remains were
going to be in her living room at her home in Goodlettsville and did I want to go to the funeral?
I said "No, not to the funeral. I want to remember her the way she looked the last time I saw her."
I didn't want to see the look on Charlie's and the kids' faces either. That was a long time ago in
my life, but I can still remember most of it still to this day.

In addition to these, a previously unreleased alternate take of "Stop, Look and Listen"
(04-22-1956) was used in place of the commercially released version.
If you are attempting to collect all of Patsy's commercially released recordings, these
are my recommendations for the albums and CDs needed:

Break" (Point Records) **

I am so excited that I found this forum! I have been reading through some of the posts and I
realize that this is the perfect site for all true Patsy fans to find out information and read
up on her life story... The reason this is so exciting to me is because Patsy Cline has been
my idol since I was around the age of 8 or 9 years old! I know every song in The Patsy Cline
Collection ( 4 disk set ) and I still listen to them daily! (Today it was CD #4 all 22 songs.)
I am very proud to admit that I'm probably her youngest fan, (26 years old,) and I have been
born and raised my entire life in Southern California. My passion for Country Music has always
been strong - but my passion for Patsy is much, much stronger!
If you might know where I can go to purchase a copy of the songs not included in the Collection
- I would be forever thankful! I have wondered for sometime about this ever since I went and saw
the "Always... Patsy Cline" show in Las Vegas w/ Sally Struthers. I realized there was a song I
didn't know... Only one song! The woman who played Patsy was so impressed that I knew & sang
every song along with her, (and I guess louder than I realized at the time,) because after the
show she handed my mother a flyer with her background / singing bio. on it and wrote down her
manager's name and phone number in case I was ever interested. I couldn't believe it! I was just
too afraid to call especially since I was engaged to be married, a mother of a newborn and
working full time in mortgage banking...
I just figured there's no way some guy from Missouri, (at least I think it was Missouri,) would
ever give me the time of day without a demo let alone even be interested in a girl with no
experience other than singing in my car or in the shower! (Ha, Ha!) Plus, I didn't know all the
songs... that bothered me more than anything! Any help in finding those unreleased songs would
be greatly appreciated! Thank you for such a great website, I know I'll be back again real soon...

Comment: Heather, in 1992 a CD called "Forever and Always" was released, and it contains six
of the twelve recordings that are missing from the 4-CD set.
On the Recording Sessions page you have a list of all twelve songs, and on the
Songs pages you may find information about records that contain the
missing songs. Many of those records may be out of print, but you should be able to get all
the songs on CDs that are commercially available today. Maybe someone else has a list of CDs?
Bill? /Per
I want to post a message for Charlie, Julie, and Randy Dick. I have been a Patsy Cline fan for a
lot of years. I just found this site after doing an extensive search. I learned, from other
postings on this site about the passing of Mrs. Hilda Hensley (Patsy's Mother), and this truly
upset me. I don't know all the specifics of the auction, but I do understand that a LOT of Patsy
Cline's things went on the auction block, but Patsy Fans DO NOT FRET!!!!! If someone payed 20,000
dollars for a dress, then I guarantee you it will be in SOMEONE'S museum!
I think that ALL of Patsy's fans should get together to help support a MUSEUM in her home town
of Winchester VA. From what I read in this forum, this has YET to be accomplished, and this is
just UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! Julie, Randy, Charlie, I want to say just one thing to the 3 of you: If
every fan of Patsy's would just donate 1 American dollar, you could have that museum. HOW do
you accomplish this, you ask me? Find a way to advertise this website (I went to www.patsycline.com,
and was upset that it wasn't what I was looking for, I was wanting information on Patsy's family
after reading the biography a few YEARS ago, was Hilda alive still, how was Charlie doing, and
Julie and Randy etc etc.) I assume the Julie that posts here is Patsy's and Charlie's daughter,
so I hope this post reaches the family.
Now back to the museum thing, I saw an OLD website from the late 90's that talked about some
type of gathering in Winchester, VA on Labor day or Memorial day? This was NEWS to me! If this
event was made widely public, then MAYBE some donations for a museum would start flowing in.
Sadly, a LOT of the people who KNEW Patsy on a one on one level, are slowly passing on to be
with Patsy. I wanna see a STINK raised to get some type of Museum built in Winchester VA. If
this has already been done, then excuse my ignorance, but like I said earlier I didn't find this
website until after an extensive search.
Patsy deserves a museum of some type. I visited Loretta Lynn's Museum in Hurricane Mills, TN,
and she had Patsy Cline things that were given to her by Patsy displayed, and it was all done
tastefully, so maybe Loretta Lynn's museum, could have a Patsy Cline addition, If all else fails,
I have read Loretta's books, and she considers Patsy a TRUE friend of hers, and she has enough
room down there to build a Patsy Museum, right across from her own, or an annex etc etc. I'm
rambling on, sorry, but Patsy DESERVES this. If she were here she would say "HOSS, you tell em'!"

all the folks since my resignation as the fan club secretary. There were lots of factors
in my decision that I won't go into here. I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let you
know I'm still here and continue to push Patsy to anyone who listens. Well, take care and

Hello to all, this is Julie... I just wanted to stop in this morning and catch up and give
updates on the events of yesterday... The auction was held at Christies Auction House in
New York City. There were 15 lots up for auction, with no reserve, which meant that all
the lots would be sold, even if they did not bring as much as expected. In the end, I
believe they brought more than expected. I know they brought more than the estimates
assigned to them at Christies. While I was sad to see these items go to auction, I am not
unhappy with some of the results.
Here are the final bids: *Blue western suit with white stars...$4500; *Red western suit
with steerheads and wagon wheels...$20,000; *Purple western dress...$6500; *Blue blouse
and skirt with gold trim...$4000; *Cocktail dress with "lace" on top...$4000; *Pink western
pants set...$12,000; *Green western suit...$8500; *Red western with rhinestone musical
notes...$9500; *White blouse and skirt with silver trim...$3800; *Coat and Fur stole...$4800;
*Gold pants and gold booties...$2800; *White boots with "Patsy" on the side...$10,000; *Black
western boots...$3200; *White western hat...$3000; *2 belts...$1100; *Accessories lot
including wigs, hat, shoes, etc...$6000.
I understand that "Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc." was able to purchase 3 lots: the red
western dress with the rhinestone music notes, the green western dress and the western hat...
I have also been told that other lots are, in my opinion, in good hands. I would like to
believe that one day some of the items will be displayed for fans to see. As for some of the
questions that have been asked here lately... thank you for all the caring notes and emails
and yes, we are all around... I live in a Nashville suburb, as do my Dad, Charlie and my
brother Randy. Dad and I try to stay available to the fans and friends and an occasional
"event" on behalf of Mom. I try to answer email, and monitor news, events, and auctions such
as eBay and Yahoo, etc.. I try to make sure that items that are sold are authentic, for
example autographs and show posters. I welcome questions and try to answer or find the answer.
My Dad has been in the "business" in one way or another over the years. He has worked in
promotion and production in the recording industry and in recent years has worked with a
video production company on various projects, including but not limited to the videos "The
Real Patsy Cline" and "Remembering Patsy". For about 15 years he has attended the Labor Day
Weekend festivities in Winchester celebrating "Patsy Cline", and has many friends and fans
that he stays in touch with. My brother Randy is a more private person. He lives nearby and
is very proud of Mom, and yet, he chooses not to be in the public eye. I am married and have
had four children, two daughters and two sons (we lost my oldest daughter, Virginia, in an
auto accident in 1994; she was 14...) and I have a 2 year old grandson. After my Mom died,
my Dad did remarry. My stepmom and I are very close. She and Dad did divorce, but they had a
son. She has remained "Mom" to me and my family and she and Dad are good friends. She went on
to have more family and as a result, I have a grand total of 3 brothers and one sister, and
many nieces and nephews and a "stepdad", as she did remarry. We will all be seeing each other
around Thanksgiving. I hope this kinda gives you an idea of how the family is doing. I am very
thankful for all the friends we have made, and I feel blessed. Please feel free to write to us

Hello to Per and all... I just wanted to take a minute and send a little update about the
auction that will be held tomorrow... while it is painfully obvious that we will not be able
to purchase these things and they will go to the highest bidder, there are some sources
working on securing some of the items for the museum, fan organizations, Celebrating Patsy
Cline, and such... I would like to say that they will be bidding on the blue western outfit
with the white stars and white fringe, and the red western outfits, the hat and the white
boots to name a few items... I hope that if you are in one of these groups you will be
cheering them on! The results of purchases made from the auction will be exciting in that
they could be displayed in the future at a museum in Winchester, Virginia.
I also will be back on the forum to answer some of the questions I see here, but for today,
I am just a little busy getting ready for holiday company... hang in there, I will be back!
Hope all is well with you all, and thanks again for everything that all the Patsy Fans do...
and Thank you Per!

I have been a Patsy Cline fan all of my life as far as I can remember. I am 49 years old and
I sing Patsy Cline's songs at fairs and such. She was such a wonderful singer, I try to do her
justice but no one can do better than she could. I try to find out all I can about her so I
can include a little about her when I sing. Thank you

Greetings! What a terrific site. The affection that Per writes with about Patsy is so obvious.
It's great that the internet can bring together all the devoted fans of the one and only Patsy
Cline. I have listened to her music all my life, devouring every detail about her that I could
find. The very first VHS tape that I ever bought was "Sweet Dreams" and I must have seen that
movie 200 times or more. I won a contest singing Patsy's songs and when I'm performing them I
can feel Patsy's spirit coming through and urging me to dig deep and let out all the heart I
have. I love Patsy very, very much and I often wonder what she'd be doing if she were still
alive. Thank God she recorded all those wonderful songs for us to cherish. Thanks Patsy. Cee xo

Hey All! As tribute to Patsy, I believe that she was one of the greatest singers of all time.
She was absolutely beautiful and I admire her for her strength and courage. I was introduced
to Patsy's music by my mother which was introduced to her by her mother and it has been with
me ever since.

Hey all, in regards to Charlie and the family. Charlie stills lives in Nashville. Over the
past few years he has work with a group to produce videobio's, Patsy, Loretta, Ernest Tubb, etc.
He does manage Patsy's image and name. He is very receptive to the fans and makes time for their
phone calls and questions. He does not do computers.
Julie and Randy live just outside of Nashivlle. Randy is very private.
Julie has 2 sons and daughter and a grandson. She works with Charlie in managing her mom's name
and image. She is a very devoted family person. She did come to Winchester over Labor Day to visit
with the fans in Winchester this year (2003).

I have always been interested in Patsy Cline.. Growing up my mom told me about her, my mom
is from Winchester, and my grandmother lived across the street from Charlie Dick, my grandfather
hauled paper from the newspaper office where Charlie worked.. I always wished that my grandmother
could talk to him before she passed away... lol my granny used to tell me stories about Charlie
having a few and singing so loud outside & she would yell out the window and tell him to
hush up..

In response to Skip Kingsley - there is a book available at Amazon.com (and elsewhere)
called "The Best of Patsy Cline" which has sheet music for about 25 of her songs. I
believe it is for both piano and guitar. You might also be able to pick up a copy of this
book on e-Bay.

I visited the Grand Ole Opry Musuem in Nashville today. I was surprised to see an update
on the Patsy Cline display. There are three new items of clothing. One is the black coat
with faux fur collar and cuffs that she wore in the picture of her accepting the key to
the city in New York. Another is a light purple dress in the style of the one she wore for
her Carnegie Hall appearance. I think she had several dresses made in this style, only in
different colors. It looked like light purple lace over white fabric with matching belt.
The last new item was an outfit that one of her biographies described as a black and gold
brocade dress. It included a skirt, blouse with a bow at the neck, and jacket. It's not
black at all. It's royal blue background with a bright gold pattern. It's the one she wore
to the 1962 Country Music Festival. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend that you
check it out. The museum is adjacent to the Grand Ole Opry House in the Opry Plaza, between
the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Opry Mills.

Hello Per and All... I hope you all are doing well. The Patsy Cline museum has been on my
mind a lot here lately. I can remember as a seven year old child, going to Nashville and
being disheartened to find that there is no permanent museum to honor the woman who is most
revered in Country Music and still held in high acclaim in pop music, Patsy Cline. I've
shared the dream with many fans for years that Patsy would one day be honored the way that
she truly deserves to be with a museum bearing her name, as Kitty Wells, Dolly Parton and
Loretta Lynn all have.
And then today I turn faithfully as I do every week to Per's website and find that our
Patsy's belongings are going on the auction block again, casting a darkend shadow over her
legacy and over the dream Patsy's beloved mother had of her daughter's museum. I cried for
hours. How could this happen? It's not deserving, nor is it right. Mom Hensley held those
items sentimentally in hopes of them one day being displayed together. Now, half of that
collection is scattered, while the other half is up for the same fate.
Had she known this was to happen, I'm sure Mrs. Hensley would have willed the items to
Julie and Randy. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. I just wish that fan's had some kind of
understanding as to why this has happened. It just seems that the fact of how much Patsy
Cline means to people throughout America and the world is not acknowledged. Charlie Dick
and his children have all worked so very hard for years to preserve their beloved wife and
mother's legacy in every way and they are to be commended by all.
It is my hope that clearer heads and purer hearts will prevail in this senseless matter
and, maybe one day, a woman who has graced our lives with her music will be honored in the
way that she should be.
Per, as always, thank you for your wonderful site and your contribution to Patsy Cline's
legacy. May God Bless You All, Your Friend, Jared Vaughn

This is my second posting to this site. I will say this one more time only so that people
know who I am (not that I'm important, because I'm not) but just for the fans to know the
connection and history. My name is Hilton Block, my dad co-wrote "Walkin after Midnite"
(with Don Hecht). My mom and dad also wrote "Never no More" together. I was flicking thru
the stations on my TV the other night when CMT was having a "40 greatest women of country"
countdown. Three hours worth. My wife, Susan, and I watched it. As they approached the top
5 we still hadn't seen Patsy. My wife thought Loretta Lynn would be #1 because of length of
career. I kept hoping. Finally #3 Loretta Lynn. Then #2 Tammy Wynette... and # 1 PATSY
CLINE!!!!. The way the other country stars talked about her... she was something else and
not just because she died tragically. They all said had she lived, if it was possible she
would have become even more famous. She is the standard for which all other female country
performers will be measured against forever. I hope to post other info here at a later time..
until then, take care.

To Whom This May Concern, I sincerely hope that I hear from someone soon about this matter.
I have been trying for months to find a certain movie. My daughter is an absolute fan of LeAnn
Rimes and would love a copy of the movie "Holiday in Your Heart", that she starred in with
Bernadette Peters a few years ago. Her birthday is on Nov 11th, and I would love to surprise
her with a copy of this movie. I do hope that I have found an angel. An angel that will be a
heavenly creature and send me a copy or tell me where I can get one, I would, no questions
asked, gladly reimburse whatever the cost may be to send this film to me, before my daughter's
birthday. Please find the holiday in your heart, to help me make one of my daughter's birthdays,
the best she's ever had.
If you can't help me, then please direct my email to someone that you know, could. Taping the
movie is an opinion, but then I wouldn't have the film for my daughter's birthday. Thank you
in advance for everything, Sincerely, Amanda-Marie, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

MCA recently reissued "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits" in an updated/upgraded package.
The original 1967 Decca LP Cover Art has replaced the hand-tinted picture used for the
1988 edition. The tracks on the CD have been 24-bit digitally remastered from the original

I love Patsy Cline's music and would love to have been able to meet her she is
a true inspiration to me and my love for music, she has a voice that is truly
just amazing to me. I have several cd of her and listen to them all the time.
She was a beautiful lady and a great loss to music....

Folks, regarding the "Remembering Patsy Cline" album, where Norah Jones is one of the
contributors: Norah is also contributing on a Dolly Parton tribute album, singing the
song "The Grass Is Blue". If you are a Norah Jones fan, like myself, you can go to
www.norahjones.info and get information about
this album. And the Patsy tribute album is, of course, also mentioned at that site.

Hello Gang! Julie, I am sure that as fans Mill by, they'll be sure to help with upkeep
on your Mom's resting ground. But as a personal gesture of just Thanks to Patsy, you,
and everyone here who contributes to this site, I will give you my Word I will check it
out and make my way there to be sure they are doing as they should monthly. If not- will
Will email you with phot for proof. It will be that way no more. SUE! I think you are one
of the 18 at the gravesite. There was a Sue there from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and you
KNOW I emphasized the Importance of THIS site, and the people here. It IS the most
Comprehensive site there is. I think you left before our prayer.
Back to Julie. You are so right, it was a blessing for us all. To think, one woman brought
people from across the nation and world together, interlocking hands for prayer. Who Else
could? Not many... Louise States that she cannot believe your mother would be as old as her,
and A dynamo still, she says. I was encouraged upon joining the site by Per to tell the
stories Louise tells me of her friendship. I will- soon. Love to all Fans. Michael (Per-
thanks for the directions on site, I loved the "first time I heard" story!) You're beautiful!

I've been a Patsy Cline fan for many years, here voice is really something special!
I've just bought a CD-box with her songs, and I'm playing it right now. My favourite is
"Walking after midnight", as number two I have "Pick me up on your way down". But none
of the 52 songs in the box are bad, they are some of the best coyntry songs ever written!
Even if she has been dead for 40 years, her songs and voice will live for ever!

I met Patsy in the early 60's after a concert she did at the Mint Casino in Las Vegas.
I was not a C&W fan (I actually was an Elvis Rocker) but watched her because I was
in town on business and staying nearby... She was THE CATS MEOW! and years later I have
looked for someplace that I could vent my excitement about this great performer who is
no longer with us. My grandson showed me this websight. I want you people to know that
Patsy Cline was the BEST concert I ever saw in my 80 years and she was so kind to me
after the show and signed my napkin. She smiled at me and said "Thanks for your interest!"
I wish I still had that dadburn napkin! This gal lit up the eyes of a fellow who did NOT
like C&W music. I cried when she died and she is still the only Country & Western
person I will listen to. God Bless. Fred

Good Morning Per and all, this is Julie... I was just reading the new entries, and I
am sad to hear that the grave site looked so bad, and I am sorry... I am so far away
and cannot check on these things... Thanks for taking care of it... I can only guess
that now that my Grandmother isn't there, maybe it doesn't get checked on as much...
I will also check with the caretakers about it... Once again 'Patsy Fans' are great
people... Sounds like that trip to the cemetery was actually a blessing, that's great...
Death is a sad thing for us here on this earth, and yet we have to remember that there
is a better place, one that we cannot even begin to imagine, and we should all strive
to be there one day... Thanks again for everything that you guys do!... Oh, and I get
a kick out of all the times people meet someone that says they are related... I have
been told of a couple of sisters "I have", and just the other day got a letter from
someone that knows "a cousin of mine", only problem is there isn't one in that part
of the family!... And I think my favorites are the ones that are out there singing
and being in the public's eye and saying they are her daughter... Sorry folks, I don't
sing for anyone, and I am here in the Nashville area most of the time, with my family
doing regular family things... Now, if you run into a lady around Nashville that looks
like she doesn't know what she's doing, that might be me! If you do, ask her something
special, something that only I might be able to tell you... (but don't make it too hard,
I might be slow that day from too many basketball games with the kids! haha) Well, take
care everyone, and if there are any US Military Service people out there "listening", I
would like to say a BIG HELLO and send a big HUG... You guys and gals are great! God
Bless...

Hi Per and All. I'm still here! Amazing. Due to Patsy no doubt, but STRAIGHT to point.
Jimmy, you're absolutely correct. The cemetery has a marker indicating her grave site.
ANYONE entering the Shenandoah Memorial Park, "cemetery", can easily find it thru two or
three simple measures. Find the entrance with the flags flying, you will see a funeral
home when you turn in. Make an IMMEDIATE right after it. It almost looks like the back
drive of the funeral home. Drive it a couple hundred feet, on the right, is a sign car
window length. Directly across it on the left of the road, driver side, is Patsy's grave.
She is under the second tree, on the curb. If you walk from pavement to grass, there she
is right off the pavement 2 or 3 steps.
Topic number two. I took my girlfriend there to see it from Canada. I am native here,
and know exactly where she is intered, and wanted to go up and leave a few pennies as
we are so far apart. I was shocked to see that the headstone was not being manicured or
well kept. Grass was covering it up, living and mowed. BTW- a fan wrote in here about
placing a toy car there- it is still there ;). I bent down to start weeding, and noticed
2 ppl milling thru the cemetery, and soon enough, they got close enough to shout out a
question of where Patsy was. They came over, and also were upset to see the plaque needed
such weeding out. They said they walked over it twice as it was almost covered. As I was
weeding, I was finding pennies left and right in the roots of the grass, and I placed them
back, and soon, another couple pulled up, then a van with people, then others. Two with
Cam corders, all with Camera's.
I was bound to get that marker clean then, and a group of
18 soon formed. One asked me when they saw me manicuring it, if I was a relative, and I
said no, just that The Lady Patsy Cline meant alot to me for her music. Then an onslaught
of questions came, and I kept repeating to everyone, go to Patsy.nu- it is the BEST site
out there, it is the OFFICIAL site, and as they complimented me on my knowledge, I told
them, some of what they wanted to know I knew, and MOST of what I knew, was due to A Lovely
Person Named Per, and alot of faithfull fans who tirelessly work in continuing her namesake
and TRUE knowledge of Patsy. I also emphazised as alot had mis-information, (again with the
"I met a woman who said she was Julie in Winchester" from 2 people) among other things,
if they wanted REAL concrete knowledge and answers, THIS is the place they must go. You
cannot find a more comprehensive and accurate collection of information that is true and
right on target about Patsy, and no-one can beat this site.
Making A longer story short, we ended up speaking at the grave, our whole group, as new
arrivals came, for nearly two hours, and it took on a different spirit, of celebration,
of how special the Lady Patsy Cline was, almost as if we were in her presence and
lighthearted spirit, and she was around us all. I had her in the tape deck when I first
arrived, and left me keys in, so the radio stayed on, and the whole time, Patsy Seranaded
us. I first went to go turn it off thinkin it disrespectfull as I didn't intentionaly
leave it on, and only planned to hop out a few minutes, but they actually asked me not
turn it off as it very lightly played when I apologized for my blunder. We shared many
things, stood in the and at the presence of greatness, in a respect for each other as
Patsy Cline Fans, that only Patsy could do herself, and Respect of Patsy. They had come
from all over, another reason they need to get on the stick with keeping the plaque CLEARED.
Some of us exchanged personal information to keep in touch, I wrote out this site addy
almost 18 times, and all I can say, is it was the only time I have gone there, visited,
and not left with an empty feeling within me, for the life and love, and talent cut so
short. Patsy brought many new friends together today- once again. People were still
arrriving as I excused myself near 2 hours later- 5:35 pm, to leave, after sharing such
wonderful moments mutually expressed and mutually felt, and it left me at a peace I cannot
describe. I knew it all along, but I saw before me today- that indeed, Patsy lives, for us
all... and nothing may take her from us. Per, God Bless your soul for your work. NEXT time
I go up and see her resting site so overgrown, I will take a picture before weeding. It is
not right. I will try to make it up more often to make sure this has not happened again.
We have had alot of rain this season, maybe that is why. All I know is THAT is what saddened
me more than anything else. That the Care Givers would neglect this... ahh - my heart.. so
sad. Granted today was the first day I have ever seen people coming out of the woodwork to
visit there, but still, it should be visible at ALL times to be seen. Finaly, Per, Thank
YOU! Without your site, and so many who contribute, I would not have been able to pass so
much ACCURATE information along, knowing it to be gospel truth! It confirms what the people
I know as Patsy's friends tell me, and corrects what their memories re-arrange. I never knew,
until today, just how connected we all are to each other, just thru being Patsy's fans, and
knowing one persons name. Wow. Drove it home. Per, May I ask, how did you get to know of
Patsy where you live??? Half a world away? What prompted this site? You are talented, and
blessed. Signing off till next update, Michael Birmingham P.s.- Per- was a little unsure of
if this belonged on the forum or not. I would be content if someone would just please make
sure they keep the plaque cleared. The rest is just me sharing my experience and updating.
Take Care, Per ;) Michael IGNORE THE TYPO'S. lol

Very nice home page. I have always been a big country western fan and loved to listen to
Patsy Cline's singing. She had a very wonderful voice that I loved to listen to. Miss her
songs very much. I don't know if this is appropriate to put in this but I do like to sing
and have been told that I should send some demos to see what other people think of my

I sit here, reading all these fine tributes to Patsy Cline, and it brings a tear to my eyes..
Let me say this, as far as the auction of her things, it's sad, yes, BUT.. as I look at the
big picture, they can NEVER sell her memories to millions of loyal fans. Let me clarify,
it's as simple as popping in a Patsy Cline CD/record/tape, and VOILA!, she's with us!..
That voice, that emotional cry of love, that passion!... they can NEVER take that away or
lose it.. You all know this.. It was her SONGS and SOUND that she gave us so sweetly.. Sure,
maybe her material things like sequinned dresses or shoes may dissapear, but her sound never
will.. Have faith in that, She's knowing you love her, and She won't forget us, God bless
you girl!.. you gave us something for life!, Matt S

Did Patsy live in Gore or Winchester?
Robyn Jones
Syracuse, NY USA - Tuesday, July 29, 2003 at 22:46:44 (MET DST)
Comment: Both. Patsy was born in the Winchester Memorial Hospital, but the family resided
near Gore at that time. Up until the time when they moved to Winchester for good in 1948,
the family moved nearly 20 times... Shortly after Patsy was born they moved to Elkton, and
lived there for about eight years, and Patsy began school there. After that they moved
to Lexington. Then they moved to a house near Winchester, followed by moves to Portsmouth,
Middletown and Gore (again). This information comes from Phil Hunter's excellent chronological
outline "Crazy Over Patsy" from 1997. Thanks, Phil! /Per
I am so amazed at the quality of this site and the people that support this awesome woman...
Can anybody tell me if there is a fan club in England? Thanks again... Barry

Matthew, during the last year of the old Hall of Fame there was a nice Patsy display and
the letters she wrote to Treva Miller. There were several photos and the purple western dress
on display plus 5 kinescopes. This was done in conjuction with the release of the book,
"Love Always...."

Lindsay, I was also surprised and disappointed at Patsy's display in the new Hall of Fame
museum. I seem to remember, though I may be mistaken, that the museum in the old building
had a larger display for Patsy. I wrote to the folks in Nashville last year to question why
the best voice in country music was afforded so little space, but they declined to answer.
I think a museum devoted to her memory is the answer for us all. Best wishes to all, Matthew

Hello to all at the Patsy Cline Forum! I'm "newbie"... this is my first post! Patsy Cline...
what a voice!!! In my opinion, she has never been equalled, and never will be. I was only 11
years old when she died, but her music has made a lasting impression on me. I'm a singer, too;
I began singing at the age of 3, and dreamed of being a performer. I began singing in a country
band at the age of 14, and we had a local Saturday-morning radio show, for a while. I sang some
of Patsy's songs, when I was in a country-rock band, back in the late 1970's. I sing them now,
at karaoke, which I love to do! I've been told I sound like Patsy, and get some interesting
reactions from other folks in the karaoke bars that I patronize near my home.
I recently entered a "sing alike" contest at the Kentucky Opry in Draffenville, Ky. I lost,
big-time, but I had a wonderful time! I did "Crazy", as did the winner, but I wasn't in costume.
I'm doing it again, next year, and will be ready with a stage costume, then!
I've also been researching Patsy Cline's life, and am planning on putting together a monologue,
complete with some of Patsy's greatest hits, that I can do, in costume, at local fairs, benefits,
and parties. I've been listening intently to Patsy's music, and trying to mimick her style...
I've got the same vocal range, but what an impossible task!!! Each time I listen to her recordings,
I hear new and different little nuances in her voice than I heard on the previous time I listened.
I think it's wonderful that Patsy's daughter, Julie, visits this fan forum, and interacts with its
members. I'm certain that the stories she's heard, and pictures she's been given by fans who vividly
remember her mother are very precious to her; especially since she was so young, when her mother
died.
Patsy Cline was a "singer's singer", and a national treasure. After 40 years, her talent is still
spoken about with awe. Her life was short, but that short life gave joy to millions, and she will
live forever, through her music.
I realize this post is long. I just wanted the group to get to know me, a little. I promise I'll
be brief, in all future posts! Love to all, Darla

Good for you Fred! Anyway, just wanted to say I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame the
other weekend. It was very interesting & informative, but they didn't have near enough
Patsy stuff! Just a purple cowgirl dress and one letter she wrote to Treva, and then in a
separate display her Dixie lighter. I was very distressed to learn I couldn't take photos,
too. Made me realize how important it is for me to do whatever I can to help get Patsy's
own museum up and running....

life. My girlfriend dumped me a few months ago... I thought I was ALONE... and then I fired up
my ol' turntable and listened to "THATS HOW A HEARTACHE BEGINS"??... This tune made me realize
that there are other chicks out there... and I am NOT alone... GOD BLESS YOU PATSY!!! YOU WERE
40 YEARS AHEAD OF YOUR TIME!!! Fred

Question? (for the history of our theatre in Spartanburg): Did Patsy ever perform at the
CAROLINA THEATRE in Spartanburg, SC at anytime in her career? Or any other places in SC?
Thanx for your help.

Just returned from vacation, took a tour of the crash site, was a very emotional experience,
also visited Patsy's grave site, this was also a very moving experience for me. Made it very
clear to me just how much we Patsy fans need to keep her memory alive, and ever growing for
the future Patsy fans.

I think Patsy Cline is & was the best singer and performer ever. The young singers
of nowadays have nothing to compare to her.

Patsy Cline's music is still being celebrated! She is the only country artist with 2
songs in the top 12 of all times, according to CMT. And I still listen to her everyday
without tiring of her music. She was and is the best!

I have been a Patsy Cline for years and years and years. She is undoubtedly the queen
of country music. I am seeking advice and pointers from all avid Patsy fans. I have been
asked to portray Patsy in a local church dinner theatre. While this is not a broadway
show or the likes, I am overjoyed and extremely honored to participate. I welcome any
advice or suggestions. I will need to duplicate hair, wardrobe etc. from early in Patsy's
career around 1957. Thanks for all your suggestions.

My father Alan BLock, co-wrote "Walking After Midnight" along with Don Hecht. My father
passed in 1999. My mother then co-wrote a song called "Never no more" with my father.
It was released after Patsy's death so it never gained in the popularity of some of her
other songs, however, if you listen to it, it has the "midnight" flavor to it. Unfortunately,
my mom passed just last year. The songs help keep them alive to me and I am fortunate to
have had them as my parents. I also want to add that there was an obscure sci-fi entitled
"Space above and beyond" that was on Fox for a short time. The had an episode called "The
never no more episode" that featured Patsy as a hologram singing "Never no more". Again it
is terrific finding this site.

Patsy is just great! Her music is immortal. The only shame is that I cannot get
most of her CD's in Kenya. Such a gifted woman - such a short life.....
