3. Such a rich, beautiful voice...gone too soon

[DearHeart]

4. So many of the good ones, the people with actual talent and voices, die too soon!

Ever heard of Mandy Barnett? She has a similar voice...not as good as Patsy, but close as I've ever heard. She actually played Patsy in a couple of stage plays and has sung Patsy's songs on the Opry.

I loved her first CD, but then she pretty much dropped off the scene. Still does concerts, just not with a major label, I think.

Just in case no one's ever heard of her: [link:

5. No, I never heard of her, but she's got a terrific voice and I can see how

she would successfully sing Patsy Cline songs .

As far as dying young....maybe it's all the emotion they pour into their singing/playing. Just takes everything right out of them .

6. Wow, I'm Old. 50 years ago, in March 1963, I joined the Air National Guard.

I remember when she died in a plane crash.
And I was leaving home for a year for USAF pilot training.
That kinda hit home.

[DearHeart]

14. You're not old! 95 is old! Think of it this way...being older is better than not getting old. :D

But yea, I could definitely see how that would've hit home for you. I could never be a pilot, have a hard enough time flying in jumbo jets.

7. She had soul

She had tone and was real you can hear it in her voice .Sure could use more singers like her now.

[DearHeart]

12. We sure could! I think there are some out there, but they just don't get the radio play.

Like I posted earlier, Mandy Barnett is really good, so is a woman named Alison Moorer. Moorer has a very rich, sultry voice and so does her sister, Shelby Lynne.

I love Toni Braxton's voice, Dawn Robinson (formerly of En Vogue), but I can't think of any more on the pop or R&B scene. I'm sure that there are many more, I just can't think right now. Mind is now wandering to too many places.

8. Love Patsy.

I saw her at the auditorium at South High School in Salt Lake City in the early 60's. Ironically the auditorium is now the Grand Theater and I have seen the stage production of "Patsy!" twice in the last few years.

She is absolutely a legend. That plane crash took a great deal of talent. RIP Patsy, Hawkshaw, and crew.

[DearHeart]

10. I'm so envious! I only came to know her when I was a teenager and she had been gone

for 20+ years by then. You and anyone who saw her in person are incredibly lucky!!

17. My parents always took we girls

kicking and screaming to all of these concerts when we were young. Who knew it would define who I am today.

My husband, all the sisters, and my parents went to the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake to see Ernest Tubb in the early 1970's. My Dad loved Ernest, so imagine his delight when Ernest came down and sat at our table and talked to Dad. I still use "Waltz Across Texas" as my parents ringtone. They are both gone, but my sister is now using the phone line.

[DearHeart]

18. My father still loves Ernest Tubb, but Mom didn't and would never have let him take us to see him.

She likes country, but just not Bluegrass (reminds her of the holler she used to have to visit with her step-mother). So, we went to see the Oak Ridge Boys. That was my time. I would've rather seen Patsy, Elvis, etc. I always knew that I was born too late!

9. Now I'm going to have to dig up the "Coal Miner's Daughter" video tape.

Patsy Cline was the dominant influence in Loretta Lynn's career. Her plane accident had a major impact on Loretta.

[DearHeart]

11. Dont even get me started on "Coal Miner's Daughter", one of my favorites!

I love that movie and have seen it dozens of times. Did you like "Sweet Dreams" with Jessica Lange? I think I prefer Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy, although you get to hear Patsy's voice in "Sweat Dreams"...so, I'm torn.

[talkingmime]

13. I don't think so, but "Coal Miner's Daughter" is one of my favorite movies.

It's sort of up there with "Fiddler on the Roof". My favorite part is "We were just drivin' down the road, eatin' salami and gettin' horny".

[DearHeart]

15. Fiddler is also up there for me too! Musicals in general, I love.

I like it when Loretta says, "An' stoppa that growlin'. You sound like a big ol' bar." Great movie!


Have a nice night!

16. "The work, it was hard, and then we slept 'cause we was tard."

That's my favorite part.
