Since Patsy began singing, I have listened. She is 11 years older than I am, so I was there. My Dad could be brought to tears with her songs. The few times I saw that kind of emotion in him. Mom sang her songs in their band, as I later did. There is no rough time in my life, that one of her songs, well, al of them, didn't fit the occasion. I like the pop tunes she started with and even my bluegrass Daddy liked them too. I never FELT them until I was in high school. You know, first heart breaks.. "She's Got You", You're Stronger Than Me" is a very touching song when you see your former love with someone and you catch his eye. "Triangle", oh yeah.. Blue Moon Of Kentucky She has ALWAYS been my inspiration and I close my eyes and feel the pain, whether I am listening or singing.
Without her, who would there be for all the singers to step up to a mic or ride down the road, or shower with? I used to answer questions from the children with a line of a song. They asked their dad why I was always singing, even when I talked to them. He said because it is from her heart. Be careful around her if she is singing a patsy song, because she is deep in thought about something. Patsy and Elvis are not dead!

I was in Berryville last night. We started honoring Patsy with the first song and about everyone there, men as well, sang at least one in honor of her birthday. We counted the minutes down to midnight, and the DJ said it is now after 12 midnight, so it is officially Patsy Cline's Birthday. And we all wished HER a Happy Birthday. I was up, and did Faded Love and nearly couldn't get thru it. Then I left. I was finished.
Happy Birthday to a legend, Miss Patsy Cline.
