Per... Wow 12 years!!! Congrats on that milestone. I think I've been coming here
for at least 6 of those years... LOL!!!!!!
Here's a lil' something:
My goodness
Here it is 12 years
And how we Patsy-ers have been blest
Since this site was formed by Per
Clearly one of, if not, the best
The info is awesome
As is a special treat
When Julie posts now and then
To touch base
To me, that is neat
This site is never ending
I know The Patsy would indeed approve
She'd say - "Hoss, you have it goin on here darlin' -
I thank you, really I do - for this swell and if they don't like it, go to hell - this has the groove"
Keep it up Per, you're doing fine
I'll continue coming here
You just keep alive the memory of THE CLINE...

I caught the show at the Nuangola Grove theater of Always Patsy Cline and I have to
say I have never heard anything like it. Nicole Rasmus is unbelievable. You'd swear
Patsy was there. She performed every song to perfection and didn't miss a note. I still
have goosebumps on my arms. I only wish everyone could have experienced it. This is
one show that I'm sure Patsy would have been proud.

Bought the updated version of Ellis Nassour's book, "Honky Tonk Angel". It's better
than ever. More pictures and more detail on her life. I won't go into what's in it
but I gotta say, it sorta confirms some stuff I've felt about some of the people in
Patsy's life. Get it. Read it. It shows our girl in the most vivid colors I've seen.
What a true tragedy we lost her before she hit her prime. What a gal she must've been!

Hi, my name is Ray and I really like Patsy's voice. She was a born country music.
I've seen the movie of her life (Ed Harris), I was born in 1961 so I never did see
her live, but still I'm happy to hear her voice from the treasure she left for us,
her voice and golden hits songs.

As another Mothers Day approaches, a very special fond memory brings a mixture of
happiness and meloncholy within my heart. This coming weekend has been 10yrs. since
I had a dream come true. I had the Honors of meeting the worlds Best Female Country
singer that ever lived "Mrs. Patsy Cline's" mother "Mrs. Hilda Hensley". I would first
like to say what a pillar of strength she was! She was the real definition of a real
woman / mother. Her children met the world to her and she worked hard and tried her
best to keep things together inspite of all she endured. Any mother that bears those
qualities should be commended.
The worse thing that no mother should ever have to experience that Mrs. Hilda did,
is the loss of her child! She lived alot of years with that sting. I can't say her
pain was worse than other mothers that have experienced the same tragedy, but losing
a child that was so renowned, known to all around the world and met so much to others
had to have different difficulties and what I mean is, everywhere Hilda turned there
was that constant reminder, a picture, a song, a movie, and impersonater's, etc...
Patsy was just as well known as Elvis and her stardom continues to grow.
In my perception I just thought it might have been harder to grieve in the midst of
that whirlwind. Meeting Hilda meant a lot to me personally and musically. She was such
a talent in her own right! She made such cool lookin' Cow Girl dresses and other fine
pieces of clothing. I look forward to seeing those on display one day. Mrs. Patsy had
a huge influence on my music career as I believe she has with just about every female
singer across the board. She sang with such conviction, with every fiber of her soul
and knew the right treament for the song. She studied her art and worked hard to hone
her craft.
Personally, I think she was totally in touch with her feelings and others and applied
it in her art. She wasn't afraid of feeling or being her self. She didn't refrain from
nothing. She was doing things back then that some women are still afraid to do today.
The most admirable characteristic attributes I liked about Patsy was her realness,
she wasn't plastic, she wasn't a cookie cutter she was original, she was for the
underdog, she took no lip, she had backbone, she was raw to the bone, BUT the most
important was, she loved her children! She still knew the meaning of motherhood and
womanhood. She was a GREAT WOMAN/MOTHER!
I finally met Hilda on my 3rd trip to Winchester,VA. from my home of Greenbelt, MD...
I stopped by her house in hopes of meeting her. I ended up having a wonderful 3hr.
visit with her. It was everything I thought it would be. You know that feeling you
get sometimes when you meet someone and you feel as though you've known them a lifetime,
that's what I felt. Before our visit wrapped she had invited me to a function in tribute
to Patsy she has each year in Winchester around Patsy's birthday Sept. 8th... Oh what
honors I felt! She took my contact info. but had mentioned that she was having some
health issues and if it continued she would not be attending the function. Well, I
never heard anything from her but me and my husband attended Patsy's grave memorial
that Sept.
Patsy's cousin lead the service and had informed us that Hilda was under the weather.
In October my husband and I moved to Nashville and after settling my husband called
Patsy's widower Charlie Dick and that's when I received the sad news that Mrs. Hilda
Hensley had passed on. I was very heart broken but also I knew that she was at her
eternal home with sweet Jesus and her precious Patsy. I'm just so very grateful I got
the chance and honors of meeting such a very kind loving gentle soul. I miss you very
much Hilda & Patsy~~ Your Fan/Friend~~Kimi Dean

Howdy patsifans, Got the new Nassour book today! The new updated edition is a larger
size paperback. All of the photo's are on glossy photo paper. Two new pictures really
stand out! One is of Patsy & Gerald in 1953 at their wedding reception. The second
is a picture I got to see a few months ago at the Hall of Fame. It's our gal at 3:00am
at LaGuardia airport after the big Carnegie Hall concert. She is sitting next to Randy
& has her feet up on an ashtray stand! The full picture is amazing, But the cropped
shot in the book is still well worth it too! You all will notice that this picture was
cropped & used on the covers of Remembering Patsy & the Sweet Dreams Still dvd!
The new chapter is such a great addition! I snapped both pictures with my cell phone
camera. They are posted on my blog at: http://patsifans.blogspot.com/ This book is a
must buy! Hope you all are well. Per, thanks for such an amazing site!

"Last night on the local PBS station they aired "Sweet Dreams Still." We always check
PBS on Saturday night to see who the artist is so imagine my pleasant surprise. Was it
shown on any other PBS markets?" From Tim Poole
Tim...Yes, that does air in different markets usually in conjuction with a telefund drive.
Interesting note on how the whole thing was done. Orginally Greg Hall of Hallway Prod. was
asked to a piece on the Momma and Poppa's (I hope I recall the correct group). Hallway
still needed to get all the liscensing of songs and performance done. PBS needed the
piece done in just a couple months and he was not able to meet thier deadline.
He proposed a Patsy piece and PBS said yes. Most of the liscensing was already done
since he is partners with Charlie. All they had to do was negotiate some Pet Milk parts.
Since Charlie new the correct people to go straight to he was able to get things ASAP.
I think Julie said the whole project was done in less than 2 months!
So Hats off to Greg and Charlie for thier smart thinking and hard work!
Always,

Last night on the local PBS station they aired "Sweet Dreams Still." It appeared that it
was an edited version of the DVD. During the breaks, they offered several packages featuring
the DVD and "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits" as well as "Rememebering Patsy". All of which
depended on your amount of donation. It was cool to see Patsy on this type of show. We always
check PBS on Saturday night to see who the artist is so imagine my pleasant surprise. Was it
shown on any other PBS markets?

Jeff, the song you're thinking of is called "We Three" which includes the lyrics "my echo,
my shadow and me." It's an old Pop Song first done by The Ink Spots back in the 1940's.
Brenda Lee recorded it for her "This Is Brenda" album for Decca in 1960. But, alas, Patsy
never got this one on tape.
Mark Willix and I will be attending the Patsy Cline Symposium in Richmond, VA on Friday.
We look forward to seeing/meeting any Forum visitors who might also be attending.

Hello... I just found this awesome site after searching for a while looking for a song
that Patsy once sang... It was either called "Me myself and my echo"... or "Me myself and
I"... Unfortunately I couldn't find it... I'll keep looking... But if you have the song
that would be a real help... A1 fan of Patsy

A sad date today....
12 years ago I saw the fascinating movie about the life of Patsy Cline, later in the
same year I paid a visit to the United States where I also bought my first Patsy Cline
CD. This visit was a once-in-lifetime opportunity so my visit and the marvelous voice
of Miss Cline belong together somehow. To me this lady is the greatest ever country
singer. Thank you, Patsy Cline.

It seems to me that Patsy Cline sang alot about heartache and always losing her man.
Did she actually have alot of heartache and pain in her life? The songs she sang sound
awesome, but many of them are sad, I just hope she didn't live her whole life like her
music. I realize most country music is like this, but I am just wondering. And hey,
I can't get enough of Patsy's great music. I now even have her a picture of her as a
screen saver.

Hi Per & Patsy Fans,
Leon Kagarise died Jan 29, of heart failure. Many of you know him as the man that made
many historic recordings in the late 50's and 60's, that have never been heard by the
public, including Patsy, Johnny Cash, Ernest Tubb & many more.
You can read the complete article in the

I am copying this from an e-mail sent to me from Michael Haman. I think the interview
with Philip Martin is well worth listening to if one wishes to know more about CPC.
In the middle of part two there is a nice change in lyrics to "Walking after Midnight"
where it sounds like Patsy sings "I go out a-walking after midnight looking for ME."
-----
Please overlook the "mass mail" appearance of this letter. A great many people have
expressed interest in hearing the audio from the broadcast I called THE ABSENCE OF
PATSY and the interview with former CPC president Philip Martin. This is the quickest
way I can think of to let you know the audio is now posted in clickable links on
WINC AM's website.
Just go to www.am1400winc.com, click on the
link "Winchester Morning Magazine" on the left-hand side of the page and then click
on the 4-program parts you will see on the page.
Thank you for your support in the effort to establish appropriate visibility for
Patsy in the city of her birth.

The following has been posted on the ValleyChatter forum in Winchester Va by Michael
Haman who is a presenter on radio station WINC. This is the radio station where Patsy
Cline made her first broadcast.
Please note his comments about the progress of the museum project.
-----
"...have proven to myself and all my listeners this past week that there is far more
enthusiasm about putting Patsy Cline in a higher profile in Winchester than there is
apathy. When I raised the issue the phones rang off the hook and my mailbox was flooded.
You are right to think the effort to put a bust of Patsy on the walking mall would be
bogged down with politics -- I have changed the proposal to a life-sized statue that
would sit in front of the first radio station she ever sang on -- WINC AM on Pleasant
Valley Road, and have already received the green light from corporate on the project.
Be listening Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. for a full hour I call "Absence of Patsy", in
which I will tell the whole ugly, unadulterated story of why there is no Patsy Cline
Museum in Winchester, despite the existence of an organization founded 13 years ago
and called Celebrating Patsy Cline, expressly to build one. It's not a pretty story,
but someone's gotta finally tell it. During the broadcast I intend to challenge the
CPC to get on the air and account for themselves.
Meanwhile, I'm assembling a steering committee to finance, design, sculpt and place
the statue. If you love Patsy and want to join me in this effort, send me mail at my
station address -- not here, so I can put you on my mailing list and keep you posted.

Can anyone tell me what year Patsy recorded "Sweet Dreams"? All the info that I find
on it says that it was released after she died in 1963. There was another recording star
who recorded "Sweet Dreams", his name is Tommy McClain. Also, was "Sweet Dreams" first
recorded by Patsy?
Thank You
Marie <Primanana@aol.com>
Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 21:26:56 (CET)
Comment: "Sweet Dreams" was recorded by Patsy on February 5, 1963 and, as you say,
it was released posthumously. The release date was April 15, 1963. The song was
written by Don Gibson, and it was recorded by Don Gibson himself, and also by Faron
Young, in 1956, and both were top-ten country hits. And in 1961 it was again a top-ten
hit for Don Gibson. /Per
I love Patsy Cline!

Hello, I'd like for MCA to release a box set of Patsy's radio shows. I missed out on
both volumes of the "Country Radio Shows" with Patsy and other artists, and trying to
find even just one is like searching for a needle in a haystack! So, I'd love it if I
could buy a box... say 4 CD's, containing Patsy's radio performances -- those which
have been already released as well as those that haven't been yet. Hopefully this post
will get the atention of someone who can do something about it! I enjoy this web site
very much, and love, love, love Patsy, today, tomorrow, and forever! Thanks.

I am really not a big country music fan, I prefer the heavy/hard rock type of music.
But, I really enjoy listening to Patsy Cline, she has such a great voice, it is real
soothing to listen to. People think I am weird to be head banging to some heavy stuff,
then listen to Patsy. I have her as a radio station on my Pandora. It makes for a good
combo of music. The music she made, as well as others from her era produced the REAL
country music. (I can't stand the modern country music). It is too bad she had to die
so young. I guess it is true, the good ones do die young.

Hello, I have a poem I wrote approiamately 14 years ago.. Here it is.
Small Tribute
She was the queen,
She had it all
She sang some songs,
that made you bawl.
She hit some notes,
that causes chills,
she never complained
it payed the bills.
She sang some songs,
that made you smile,
She entertained you
went the extra mile.
She was the best,
had many fans
she could sing
with the best of bands.
She had a man,
and some children-two,
She had dreams
but her life ended too soon.
So next time you hear,
a Patsy Cline tune,
Just remember-
Her life may be over,
But her music,
still holds true.
So here's a Tribute,
To the Woman we LOVED,
We're sending I LOVE YOU,
To Heaven above!

I was browsing the wealth of photographs on Patsy, and although it pleases me me that we
have them on here for our veiwing pleasure, why hasn't someone taken all these photos
and comprised a large coffee table book devoted to her in pictures?
"A Portrait Of Patsy" or something to that effect would be a nice title.
I agree that it would be a monumental task, but nothing of this sort has ever been
published on Patsy in the way of photographs. Personally I have seen enough biographies
unless Charlie himself decided to get together with Patsi Bale Cox and get all his
memories down on paper.
I believe the fans are more and more captivated by old photos of Patsy throughout her life
and career. Ocassionally I will run across a rare picture that I had no idea existed,
which only makes me believe that many still exist out there waiting to be seen by the world.
Down through the years I have ocassionally heard people say, "well, she wasn't the most
attractive woman", and I am stunned because I couldn't disagree more with those comments.
Yes, there are unflattering photos of her in circulation, but who hasn't taken a bad picture?
The early 60's were not the best of times when it came to hair and makeup and country
artists were no exception, but Patsy had a heart that made her transcend any bad photo op.
Yes, she was a beautiful woman with her laughing eyes and smile that would ease tensions
in the middle east. I wish more people could see that........
Julie, Charlie... Someone... Will you make this book a reality?

Our Patsy back on charts!
From CMT News: Billboard's country album and songs charts come to a virtual standstill
this week, a typical occurrence at the close of each year. There are no changes at the
top -- where the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden" and Taylor Swift's "Our Song" if still
reign -- and are only sluggish stirrings within the Top 5. New songs this week are
Sugarland's "Nuttin' for Christmas" (No. 51), Toby Keith's "Little Drummer Boy" (No. 58)
and Sara Evans' "I'll Be Home for Christmas" (No. 59). "Nuttin' for Christmas," by the
way, entered the pop charts in 1955 via five different acts -- Art Mooney and His
Orchestra (whose version made it all the way to No. 6), Joe Ward, Ricky Zahnd & the
Blue Jeaners, the Fontane Sisters and comedian Stan Freberg. This marks the first time
it has charted country.
Debuting on this week's albums list is Patsy Cline's self-titled collection (No. 73).
Three albums return -- the multi-artist Forever Country (No. 69), Alan Jackson's Like
Red on Rose (No. 74) and Trisha Yearwood's Greatest Hits (No. 75).Kenny Chesney's
"Shiftwork" and Carrie Underwood's "All American Girl" each take a high leap this time
around, vaulting from No. 25 to No. 17 and from No. 28 to No. 22, respectively. Rounding
out the Top 5 songs, in descending order, are Sugarland's "Stay," Montgomery Gentry's
"What Do Ya Think About That", Josh Turner's "Firecracker" and Rascal Flatts' "Winner
at a Losing Game". Parading directly behind the Eagles in the Top 5 albums are Carrie
Underwood's Carnival Ride, the eponymous Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks' The Ultimate Hits
and Rascal Flatts' Still Feels Good.See you next year.

I became captivated by Patsy Cline at age 21. Hilda Hensly (Patsy's devoted mother
and friend) also inspired me. Their mother-daughter friendship was outstanding!
I attribute much of Patsy's success to the eternal support of her beautiful mother.
Some of my acquantances think me strange because I listen to Patsy Cline consistently.
I am an aspiring poet and I am inspired by Patsy's never-give-up attitude! I am
African American and age 40 now. Patsy lives on in my heart and spirit. Thank
you for this forum.

Sharnbrook, UK - Thursday, October 04, 2007 at 08:50:38 (CEST)
I'm curious as to what ever became of the items auctioned off in 2003 in NYC? Will
these items ever become part of a museum or have they landed in the hands of hoarding fans?
It's ashame that greed caused the entire sordid mess to begin with... When the items
should have been passed on to Patsy's children in the first place.
I guarantee you that Hilda would have wanted that.
Any word of when the "alleged" museum will open? Where is all the money fans have
helped generate over all these years to help establish one?
I refuse to allow such things to tarnish my love of Patsy and her music, but it sours
me to think that her own syblings could not see beyond dollar signs and that since
the days of Jimmy Bowen's ..eh... fan club that the very people making decisions in
her memory can get their act together!

My name is Hilton Block. I am interested in selling my current share of writer's
rights to "Walkin' After Midnight". My father, Alan Block, co-wrote "Walkin' After
Midnight". As often happened in those days, my father never saw his share of the
monies generated from the song until I, as an adult, fought hard to get some of his
rights back. He has since passed and I own 10% of his original writer's rights.
Royalties from these rights are paid twice a year. I am financially in a position
where I am forced to sell these rights. They are very special to me and have
generated a modest yearly income.
Please e-mail me at Hilyb@aol.com if you are
interested in purchasing them. I will be honored to have a true Patsy Cline fan
(collector) own them rather then someone who just looks at them as paper.

Hey there! How's everybody doin'? All good I hope! Incase anyone's listening or even
cares, I just wanted to share a few things. Been working on a CD of Country Christian
music, I've already had copyrights put on the music I wrote about a year ago, but
with better software on my computer, I've got my own recording studio right here at
home, so when the baby's go to bed, it's 'go time!'. ALSO, I sang at the Michigan
State Fair up there in the lights on the 'Big Stage' where the 'Big Dogs' come out
to play. Alice Cooper played there the very next night. I was asked to sing there
through my agency where I do a tribute to Ms. Patsy Cline and it was an amazing night.
The man who does the booking said he was told I was the best of the night and looks
as though we'll for sure be playin' there again!
Whoever took the time to read this,
God Bless you, I'm long winded when it comes to music, especially when it comes to
Patsy's music!!! My license plate say's PTSYCLN and everywhere I go I'm blasting
her music. My 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter sometimes ask me, "Mom, is that
you singing or Patsy Cline?". Sure is a great feeling. At shows my manager has had
to reasure the crowds of people that it is actually me singing. I'm not big headed,
there's LOTS I am unable to do, like cooking for example (My POOR husband), or driving,
I can get lost in a paperbag with a flashlight and directions out of the darned thing,
but when I sing, that doesn't matter, nothing does, it's just pouring my heart out
and I love it just as I'm sure Patsy did. No One singer will EVER compare to her, but
some may be just close enough to make others feel her with them if at least for a
short while. ... God Bless Patsy.

Hello everyone,
It's nice to "gather" with other Patsy Cline fans. On Sept 8, 2007, I was ordained
into the priesthood of the Old Catholic Church, so yes, that day was very special.
I have a pic on the back window of my truck and has turned a few heads, I thought
one motorcycle rider was going to wreck. I play her music at work and one day while
a car next to me was blaring rap, I had our gal blaring out of mine. What can I say?
I do hope to take my vacation time in March to visit Camden and Nashville, used to
spend time in Nashville while in the military, then maybe Labor Day weekend, hope
to meet many in Winchester. Sorry to babble on like this, but enjoy reading from
you other folks.

I was in Winchester this past weekend. I visited the gravesite again. There was no
one there at 10 AM and it was very peaceful. I stood over the grave and told her how
much her music and life has mean't to so many. I mentioned Per, Lisa and Jared in
particular, and I left a coin from us. As my partner and I were driving away, "I'll
Sail My Ship Alone" came blaring from the CD. Sorta chilling. We drove past the house
on Kent and ended up at the mall on Loudin St. The spot for CPC is at the very end
across from Dollar General. Very poor spot. Also went to the drugstore and learned a
LOT of interesting facts from the guy working there. Will post more later. But I
learned a lot this weekend. Our girl is NOT being honored properly. Oh, the stories
I was told by reliable sources!

Fans still remember Patsy Cline

Winchester — Trekking hundreds of miles to Winchester for the annual Patsy Cline
memorial has been a 20-year tradition for Don Harvey.
Harvey, of Ontario, brought his immediate family with him to Sunday’s event at
Shenandoah Memorial Park, 1270 Front Royal Pike. He had a total of 10 family members,
including his parents, siblings, and cousins.

Tim,
Regarding your entry on the CMA Hall of Fame 2007 inductees...
The CMA opted to create a catagory for a younger generation of artists who'd made a
significant contribution to Country Music over the last 25 years. The first inductee
in this catagory was George Strait last year. In my opinion, this is their way of
playing "catch up" since there are countless artists - some dead, some living - who
STILL haven't made it in the Hall: Jean Shepard, Jan Howard, Jack Greene, Del Wood,
Hank Cochran, Billy Walker, Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper, Skeeter Davis and Dottie
West... The list goes on. At the rate they were going, Strait and Vince Gill would've
been long gone and dead before their turn ever came. The CMA obviously realized they
were slow when, in 2001, they inducted 11 artists as opposed to the usual 2 or 3.
However, I must say that I am shocked that Strait made it in before Barbara Mandrell,
who inducted her friend Ralph Emery this year. Babs was truly an incredible force in
Country Music in the 1980's, entering the realm of Hollywood as a well known Country
Star, serving as an ambassador for the industry, offering a more pop style to Country
and making Country fans out of people who, until they heard her, might have never
liked Country Music.
But that's just my opinion...
Your Hoss,

The script that saves new entries for the forum has been out of order since I moved
the site to a new server several days ago, due to a small oversight on my part, and
since no one who tried to post has sent an e-mail to make me aware of the problem,
I didn't discover it until now, after I started wondering why there were no new posts

CMA Hall of Fame inductees were announced today. A very deserving Ralph Emery and Mel
Tillis. I don't get the inclusion of Vince Gill. Although very talented, he does not
have the legacy of others who are overlooked yet again. Dottie West was the first
country female to win a Grammy and yet again, she is passed by. It was people like her
and Patsy Cline who paved the way for the ones today. If Patsy were not already
inducted, I shudder to think how long it would take. Who's next years inductee?
LeAnn Rimes?

The best stereo version of "Imagine That" I've come across, is on an album called
"The Definitive Collection". It's fantastic, infinitely better than on "The Patsy
Cline Story". And the sound on every song is great! I highly recommend it!

I have been a big fan of Patsy's for a long time. Ever since I was little. I don't
know what it is about her that I love so much. Maybe it is the way she can sing soft
and sultry and growel the next. Every time I catch a scent of Windsong, her favorite
perfume, I feel like she is near me. Like she is wrapping her arms around me giving
me a great big hug and saying "I know Honey! I love you too!"

Helen, it's always hilarious to see your comment "Where's Jared". Thanks for
thinking of me!
So here's a story for you hosses:
The other day I was in a Atlanta department store and an instrumental version
of "I Fall to Pieces" came on. So naturally I started humming. All of a sudden
this woman beside me says so very casually "Lord, Patsy. Why'd you have to get
on that plane, girl?"
Now, I've never met Lisa who runs Patsified.com, but I swear that reminded me of
something I think she'd say. And it may be wrong of me, but I want bumper stickers
that say that.
I love that the world still thinks of our girl.
And all the hosses said "AMEN!"
Your Hoss,

Was recently looking round Nashville on Google Earth and noticed tons of country
music stars' homes are marked on the map. Found Patsy's street, but don't know which
is her house. If anyone knows which house was 815 Nella Drive (or any of her other
homes in Nashville) can you mark it on? I just think she should be on there with all
the other big names, particularly as she was so influential to many of them.
Per, just to add to the congratulations from others. Well done on your 11 years of
keeping the Cline Clan informed and in touch. You have done a fab job and are a champ.
Hope everyone who is going to Winchester has fun. Please take lots of photos and
share them with those of us who are 3000 miles away and unable to attend. Can't tell
you how much you are appreciated.

In the past year or so, I have become a big Patsy Cline fan! (I know, I know... what
took me so long?) I want to thank you for this wonderful website dedicated to the
memory of this one of a kind lady! It has helped me so much in preparing for the
role of "Patsy" in an upcoming performance of "Always... Patsy Cline". Keep up the
great work and thanks again!

Oh my, I did a show tonight at my church and it was AMAZING!!! It was to show the
community church and others who all came, that just because you love God doesn't
mean you can't celebrate life and have some fun. Stereotypes do exsist, unfortunately.
Anyway, it was a variety show through the years up till 1980 and starting with the
"depression era". I went up and sang two Patsy Cline songs in costume and it was
nothing less than amazing! I just wanted to share that. It's almost 2 am and I can't
sleep cause I'm so excited still about it all!!! Take care! Love, Chrissy

Howdy,
I love your website. It's the very first one that I came across when I became a
"Patsifan" a few years ago looking for facts about Patsy. Now I've learned so much
about her that I've become a "HUGE PATSIFAN". I've seen the play "Always, Patsy
Cline" seven times and loved every show. Thanks for having such a great site.

Hi Patsifans,
I'm fifteen years old and I LOVE Patsy. I just wanted to let everyone know that
there's a rare video of Patsy singing "Walkin' After Midnight" on "Youtube".
I had never seen it before and I thought it was really good of "the Cline". Watch
it and see what you think.

Patsy Cline is one of the greatest female country singers. She has a fine unique
style of singing of her own and there is not anybody who can sing the same as her.
She is in a league of her own. May she rest in peace.

Hello,
If you go to www.patsified.com, Lisa Flood's
Patsy site, then go into the section called "Patsy Cline's Sessions", you'll see 2
versions of "A Poor Man's Roses". The first is the Four Star version, and the second
is the Decca version. But, the Four Star version sounds a little different to me than
the version I have, which is on the MCA Cline boxed set. The sample of the version
on the Patsified site has got someone playing the fiddle in it, whereas the recording
of the same version on the boxed set has no fiddle. Does anyone know where this version
containing the fiddle-playing comes from? Is it an alternate take, and if so, what
recording is it on? Thanks.

Comment: That fiddle is overdubbed, it is not an alternate take. I first heard that
version when I had purchased the LaserLight 3-CD collection from 1993, and there are
a few more songs in that collection that are also overdubbed with that darn fiddle...
Personally I hate that fiddle deeply... /Per
Hi Per and all!
Just wanted to tell you all about the new YouTube post I found today. It's a clip from
Dolly Parton's 1980's variety show featuring Dolly, Jan Howard, Del Wood, Kitty Wells,
Jeannie Pruitt, Jean Shepard, Norma Jean, Skeeter Davis and Minnie Pearl talking
backstage at The Ryman Auditorium. Jeannie Pruitt (Miss "Satin Sheets") tells a GREAT
Patsy Cline story that I'd never heard before about Patsy's wigs. Check it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1JbYmy9_00.
Secondly, has it been 11 years already, Per? Seems like 10 just yesterday! Congrats
and thanks for keeping the circle between us Patsy fans unbroken!

Hello again :), I was just wondering if ANYONE knows if the lyrics to "A Sometimes
Marriage" are in exsistence for others to see? ... It was said in the book "Love Always,
Patsy" that she was going to write a song called "A Sometimes Marriage" and ever since
I read that, I have been SO extremely curious to see the lyrics to that song she was
writing. I'm not even sure if she ever finished it or it was just an idea in her head
of a song she wanted to write? I'm a song writer myself, you've never heard of me I'm
sure, never got any of my songs noticed yet, but I almost want to wrte a song with the
feel that title of her song gives me. (though I am a published author :) under the name
Christine Gavagan) I can already imagine the feel of her song through the title and
I'm certain it had to do with her being away so much on the road performing and her
husband being away as much as he was with the army. Missing her children, her husband
and so on. How torn she must have felt having to leave each time. God Bless her for
giving so much of herself to so many, creating two precious lives (Julie and Randy)
and also being a loving wife to Charlie. I miss her and I didn't even know her.
The more I listen to her music, the more I read and learn about her, the more I really
love her, not just for the entertainer that she was, but for who she was. I admire
her strenght and I thank God for letting her spend what time she did down here on earth.

Hi, to the person who just bought the "Duets" CD, I agree with you. I don't mind some
of the duets, and am especially fond of "Too Many Secrets" (the fact that they took
out the word "cigarettes" from the second verse to be politically correct made me
laugh the first time I heard it). But new instrumentation with just Patsy would've
delighted me! I have to give credit to the fact that Patsy sounds simply astounding
on this CD, though, (not that she isn't astounding anyway), which is why I listen to
most of the duets at all. I mean, she sounds as if she'd just recorded these songs!
As far as the last 2 songs, "How Can I Face Tomorrow" and "Hungry For Love", they of
course sound fantastic!

Hello, just wanted to say that I bought the CD of Patsy Cline Duets and am listening
to the last song right now. Who else has heard it and what are YOUR thoughts? I found
I was waiting for the other singers to be done so Patsy would come back. lol Not
that the others aren't musically gifted in their own right. I should have known I'd
feel that way. I'm not one who likes a song being done after it's already perfect
in my mind. :) There are rare occasions when something just works and you know it,
and though this was a sweet way of remembering Patsy, I couldn't really "feel" it
as I do when Patsy is carrying the song on her own so beautifully it could make
even an angel cry.

I just have to say I am a huge Patsy Cline fan. Although I did not live during her
unfortunately short life, during mine, I have come to know and love the woman who
has touched so many people with her hertfelt songs and heart touching voice. My
favorte song is "She's Got You" which I could listen to over and over. Wasn't she
a beautiful lady, so full of charm and grace. I wish she could have lived longer,
but the world was blessed by having her here for as long as she was.

Hey there and Hello Gerry from Canada! :) Just wanted to let you know that pictures
of Patsy can be found all over the internet. A great place to find costumes would
either be on ebay (as long as you know her exact size - sm. med. or lg. or if she's
a size 6 or a size 12 womens.?.) You need to know this in order to get her something
that will fit just right. I am also a tribute artist to Ms. Patsy Cline and do a lot
of looking around at "resale" shops. Sometimes you can find a lot of neat things;
full circle skirts, vintage button up blouses, scarfs and other neat stuff like
rhinstone jewelry for Patsy's "glam" style. If you have any other questions, please
feel free to ask. Oh, summer is almost here, check out garage sales! :) Good luck
to you. By any chance, does your wife have a web site where I could hear her sing
or see a picture of her? I love hearing others pay tribute to Patsy! She was, no
IS GREAT!!!
