At 13 years old people are always surprised and shocked that your a Patsy Cline fan. People always say "Shoudnt you be listening to rap or something?" I don't see why age should mean you have no taste in music and as a Patsy Cline fan I consider Patsy Cline the BEST taste in music.
I had always known who Patsy was, she was the first female singer I ever heard! "Walkin After Midnight" was the first song I learned to sing. I used to get up on our kitchen counter and blare Patsy and sing to my hearts content. But, as many of you have also said, I started to grow up and as I did I left Patsy behind.
Then when I was at the beach with some friends, a friend of mine got up and sang karoke at a diner. As we walked out I really wanted to turn around and go sing for myself but, I was too scared so, I shut my mouth and walked away. Later, that night I had "I Fall To Pieces" stuck in my head I couldnt get it out so as soon as I got home I bought a Patsy CD so I could here it.
As I listened to that CD something changed inside of me. I wanted more than ever and lose my stage fright and sing and so with the help of Patsy I sang everyday and then finally I sang for my chorus teacher....and was given the lead role in the school musical (which lead to a hugh solo in chorus class) and suddenly I knew this was my destiny, all thanks to Patsy Cline.
Last year when I was in a bookstore, I found a copy of "Honkytonk Angel" which I bought and took home to read. I had never known that me and Patsy had very similer lives. Our personailtys were the same (they say she was a mother hen, well half the kids at my school call me their second momma)
But, Patsy and me have a very sad connection, our fathers had both left us as children. I bet Patsy knew the same kind of pain I always feel when Fathers day rolls around, I bet shes cried on such a day too.
Patsy Cline is my hero, she has made me who I am.
She has helped me more than anything and any person could ever say they have.
Her voice is like heaven on a record, No wonder she left so soon, heavens choir proubly seemed very empty without her, just like our world does now.
Patsy Cline, was never perfect and she was a human being just like Dottie West said "Patsy was a real star, People can't get enough of a real star."
and that is what Patsy Cline means to me.
