Newly-opened Patsy Cline Historic House already a pilgrimage for fans

Joe Richards says that he enjoys the challenge of guiding groups of knowledgeable visitors through the Patsy Cline Historic House, which first opened it's doors to the public on Aug. 2 in Winchester, Va. “Almost everyone that comes here is a die-hard Patsy fan,” he says. “And a lot of them know a great deal about Patsy Cline. And they've heard all the records, they read all the books, and they love to find answers to questions.” The house has been restored to look like it did when Patsy Cline lived there as a young girl. Since it opened, it has already attracted visitors from other states and foreign countries.

Patsy Cline Home Opening for Tours

The Winchester, Va., home where Patsy Cline lived before becoming a country star will open for public tours starting Tuesday (Aug. 2). Cline lived with her mother and two siblings at the house at 608 S. Kent St. from November 1948, following her parents' separation, through June 1957, except for a period during her first marriage. The modest home was purchased by a local nonprofit organization, Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc., which spent about $100,000 on renovations. Cline sang in area clubs and worked as a soda jerk in a local drugstore before finding a national audience on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts television program in 1957. That same year, she married Charlie Dick. Cline died in a plane crash at age 30 in 1963. She is buried in Winchester, Va.

Mandy will perform all of your favorite Patsy tunes such as "Sweet Dreams," "Walking After Midnight," and "Crazy" as well as other classic country/pop songs. We are excited to announce that Mandy’s recently released “Sweet Dreams” album will be available for purchase at the Franklin Theatre during the performance!

Product Details
Audio CD (July 12, 2011)
Original Release Date: 2011
Number of Discs: 2
Label: United States Of Dist./Ka
ASIN: B0052EV6VQ

Arguably the finest female country performer ever, at the time of her tragic and horribly premature death in 1963 at just 30 years of age, Patsy Cline was also considered one of the most influential, successful, and acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century.
This double CD set contains an incredible 51 tracks which Patsy recorded live for TV and Radio broadcast between the years of 1954 prior to even signing a record deal and when she was still a virtual unknown and February 1963, just a month before the plane crash which stole her from the world. But Ms. Clines incredible voice and highly charged performances and recordings have lived on and today remain as popular as ever, enjoying both mainstream and cult followings concurrently which, amongst country music stars, is an achievement shared only by Johnny Cash and, possibly, Willie Nelson the man who composed Patsys best loved recording.
Containing both classic cuts from Patsys repertoire and more obscure numbers that she was never to perform again, this collection of very rare recordings will act as both an introduction for those wishing to sample the work of such an important vocalist, and as a collection of otherwise unavailable material for the connoisseur.

Researcher ‘crazy’ about singer
Originally published August 18, 2007


By Karen Gardner
News-Post Staff


BRUNSWICK -- Douglas Gomery came to Brunswick in search of Patsy Cline.
Mary Jo Brown, Margo Cannon Smith and Brunswick Mayor Carroll Jones shared memories Tuesday of the late country singer with Gomery, who is writing a book about Cline's life.

Gomery is a retired University of Maryland professor. He became interested in Patsy Cline when he realized her greatest hits album remained one of the top sellers on the Billboard music charts throughout the 1990s.

"That had to mean something," he said. Gomery, 62, is the resident scholar at the Library of American Broadcasting at the university.

New Patsy Cline Book:

Patsy Cline: The Making of an Icon
By Douglas Gomery

*Link sent in by ReCliner Jimmy Walker!

Patsy Cline: The Making of an Icon BY Douglas Gomery, Patsy Cline remains a much beloved singer, even though she died in 1963. Unlike most singers from the past, she has not plunged into obscurity; this book seeks to explain her rise to stardom and continued popularity. How was Patsy Cline able to transcend class and poverty to become the country music singer that non-country music fans embraced? Thus far, everything written about Patsy Cline has been based on unverifiable interviews. This book uses data from archives, letters, and court records – and is fully annotated. Since it is about Patsy Cline’s long term popularity, it does not end with her death in 1963. Indeed, the extraordinary rise of popularity of Patsy Cline only commenced in 1980. In this book, one learns how Patsy Cline learned to sing, and analyzes Patsy Cline recordings -- such as "Crazy" – as complex popular music. Patsy Cline recordings represent great popular singing, generating interest across generations. So this book divides into two halves – the first part on how she came to create the 102 songs she recorded in a studio, and second half tracing her dramatic rise in iconic status.

A Crazy Affair for Patsy!

WINCHESTER- Things are set to get a little crazy Saturdayin Winchester.

Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc.'s "A Crazy Affair" will remember legendary singer and Winchester native Patsy Cline on the 48th anniversary of her March 5, 1963, death in a small airplane crash. Cline was 30 years old.

"It's not going to be a solemn event," though, said JudySue Huyett-Kempf, CPC president.

Instead, "It's a celebration," she said. "It's a full evening of Patsy."

All money raised will go to the renovation of Cline's onetime home in Winchester, at 608 S. Kent St.

The house, where she intermittently lived with her family in the late 1940s and 50s is slated to open in late spring, restored to Cline's era.

The evening will begin with 6 p.m. cocktails, and food served at 7 p.m. at the Best Western Lee-Jackson Inn and Conference Center.

The band Souled Out, and its country-music spinoff, Crosswinds, will play throughout the night.

Crosswinds singer Chrissy Armel is connected to Cline, Huyett-Kempf said. Her uncle, Bud Armel played in the Kountry Krackers band, which often backed Cline in appearances throughout the region. Bud Armel died in 2000 in Winchester, at age 71.

Chrissy Armel will also sing during a 20-minute special tribute to Cline, said Tracie Dillon, chairwoman for CPC special events.

Last year was the event's first, and it was packed, with the full complement of 500 tickets sold, Huyett-Kempf said. She anticipates a similar response this year.

After the Cline remembrance, the night will also feature a live auction. Items include a one-of-a-kind quilt, made by a Cline fan, using photo images of the singer, Dillon said.

Other items up for bid are asigned poster, photo and DVD of the film "Kicking and Screaming," donated by actor Robert Duvall; a helicopter ride for three; a one-night stay at Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Washington, D.C.; VIP passes and parking passes to the Virginia Gold Cup, and one-night stays at the Boar's Head Inn in Charlottesville, Red Fox Inn in Middleburg, and Marriott Ranch in Hume.

Door prizes will also be given away throughout the night, Dillon said. Those will include tickets to the Loudoun County Fair, where CPC sponsors a karaoke contest, Tarara Winery in Leesburg's summer concert series, and dinner at Charles Town Races and Slots.

A Cline trivia contest will round out the evening's events, presided over by Q102-FM radio morning team Chris and Rosie.

Tickets
Tickets for $20 are available at the Winchester-Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau at 1400 S. Pleasant Valley Road and at the Lee-Jackson front desk.

Amazing Story!

March 5, 2011 By Joseph Allen AKA:JoeBot

In a world of condescending good ole boys, Patsy Cline refused to be anybody’s pretty little anything. Bold, forceful, and hellishly wild, she could go from cute to ugly in the flick of a cow’s tail. She assured the fellas around her, “I know how to whack below the belt.” She had to.

PATSY CLINE MUSEUM FINALLY HAS A HOME -- HERS!

CLINE MUSEUM FINALLY HAS A HOME -- HERS: After years of planning and fundraising..., a tribute to legendary country singer Patsy Cline will physically be present in her hometown of Winchester. The $100,000 fund-raising goal was reached this week with anonymous donors making up the final $28,000. The announcement was made this morning at the house on the anniversary of the day in 1957, when Cline won a talent contest on the Arthur Godfrey Show in New York, singing “Walkin’ After Midnight.” The house, which she occupied with her family many of the years she lived in Winchester, will be restored and opened to the public as a house museum. The anticipated opening date is late spring this year.

Saturday Designated Patsy Cline Day



Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc. is hosting an event at Patsy's historic house at 608 South Kent Street. Stop by for a day full of activities including an old fashioned Patsy Cline walk, a look alike contest, live music, and chances to win Patsy souvenirs. Judy Sue Kempf, President of Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc., says the idea was inspired by a fan letter Patsy replied to from a lady name Louise.

"And Patsy wrote to Louise that Winchester, VA, her hometown, was planning a huge day for her. A day of celebration. They were gonna kick up some noise for her. And she said she really wished that they wouldn't go to all that trouble but it was so wonderful that they were thinking of her in that way. Well, it never happened unfortunately. However, 40 some years later Celebrating Patsy Cline... we're gonna kick up some noise for Patsy."

Patsy Cline day is being held from 10 in the morning until 6 in the evening. All proceeds will benefit the restoration of Patsy Cline's historical house.

It also features well-known musicians like Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline, and Virginia artists Janis Martin, Phil Gray, the Rock-A-Teens and the Dazzlers.

The exhibit was funded in part by a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities

PATSY CLINE SENTIMENTALLY YOURS WAS RELEASED TODAY IN 1962!

One of the best has passed at 74: Hank Cochran

http://www.hankcochran.com/

Famed country singer-songwriter Hank Cochran passed away this morning, July 15 at his own residence in Hendersonville, Tenn. He was 74.

Earlier this year, Hank underwent emergency surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. He also had health issues in 2008 when he was treated for pancreatic cancer.

Widely known for penning the 1961 Patsy Cline classic, 'I Fall to Pieces' with Harlan Howard, Cochran went on to write other country radio hits, specifically Eddy Arnold's 'Make the World Go Away' and George Strait's 'Ocean Front Property,' among others.

A recording artist from 1962 until 1980, his first single, 'Sally Was a Good Old Girl,' became a Top 20. A slew of his other songs became staple covers, recorded by the likes of Ray Price, Ronnie Milsap, Natalie Cole, Dean Martin, Linda Ronstadt, Reba McEntire, Lee Ann Womack and Brad Paisley. Hank even motivated his publishing company, Pamper Music, to sign the ambitious singer-songwriter Willie Nelson.

His contributions have earned him a number of prestigious accolades, including being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Association International Hall of Fame (in 1974) and honored by BMI for his 50-plus years contributing to the music industry.

Hank was fortuitously surrounded by loving family and friends when he passed away, with Jamey Johnson, Billy Ray Cyrus and songwriter-producer Buddy Cannon even stopping by to see their friend the day before his passing. A private, family memorial is expected to be held, with a public service -- details not yet announced -- to follow.

Country Music Hall of Famer Jimmy Dean dies at 81

Country Music Hall of Famer Jimmy Dean, whose "Big Bad John" was a genre-crossing smash, died Sunday night in Virginia. He was 81.

A bold personality who founded the highly successful sausage company that bears his name, Dean helped spread country music's popularity through his recordings and through his status as a national television personality.

"I was one of the lucky people who really got to know him," said fellow Hall of Famer Bill Anderson. "Beneath that bravado, there was a wonderful human being. I've never had a better friend."

Born in Olton, Texas, in 1928, Mr. Dean served in the United States Air Force before breaking into show business. He helped Patsy Cline and Roy Clark get their starts in music, and he split time in the 1950s between television projects and recording endeavors. In 1961, he hit with the recitation "Big Bad John."


That million-selling recording wound up atop the Billboard pop charts, and it was a Grammy for Best Country & Western Recording in 1962. It also helped Mr. Dean's star ascend to the point that he sometimes hosted The Tonight Show and also starred in his own television vehicle, ABC's The Jimmy Dean Show.

Mr. Dean had another major hit with the country chart-topping "The First Thing Ev'ry Morning (And the Last Thing Ev'ry Night)," and he recorded a Top 10 country hit in the 1970s with "I.O.U."

In 1969, Mr. Dean founded the Jimmy Dean Sausage Company, which was later acquired by Consolidated Foods. In 2004, he released an autobiography, 30 Years of Sausage, 50 Years of Ham.

Mr. Dean was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year, and was slated to attend a Medallion Ceremony commemorating his official induction in October. He is survived by his wife, Donna Meade Dean.

OPRY NEWS
Grand Ole Opry Moves This Week's Shows To Other Nashville Venues Due To Flooding


Nashville, TN — May 03, 2010


Due to heavy flooding in Nashville, Tenn. including the Grand Ole Opry Entertainment Complex, this week's Grand Ole Opry performances have been moved from the Grand Ole Opry House to other Nashville venues. The Tuesday Night Opry performance scheduled for May 4th will take place at the War Memorial Auditorium, 301 6th Ave. North, Nashville, Tenn. Weekend performances will move to the historic Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Thursday's performance of Opry Country Classics will remain at the Ryman as previously scheduled. Show times for all shows remain at 7:00 p.m. Both the War Memorial and the Ryman are former homes of the Opry.

The Opry House suffered damage as a result of the record-breaking rains and subsequent flooding in Nashville. The last time the Opry had to relocate was in 1975 to Nashville's Municipal Auditorium, just one year after the opening of the Grand Ole Opry House. That move was also caused by Cumberland River flooding.

"While we ourselves are shaken by the impact of the flooding of the Opry House and throughout the area, it is important that Nashville's most treasured tradition continues with this week's shows," said Grand Ole Opry Vice President Pete Fisher. "We look forward to coming together both as the Opry family and as a great American city just as we have every week for nearly 85 years. Our hearts go out to all of those affected in the Middle Tennessee area."

The Opry Call Center is temporarily out of service, and other operations on the Opry Entertainment Complex including Opry backstage tours and the Grand Ole Opry Museum, have been temporarily suspended. It is too early to determine how long Opry operations will be impacted at this time.

Fans, including those planning to attend this week's shows, can stay updated on everything happening in response to this week's flooding at opry.com. Photos and video will also be posted as they become available on Facebook and Twitter.

Patsy Cline and Hank Williams by Mark Ulriksen

Patsy Cline and Hank Williams
by Mark Ulriksen
I've been obsessed with music since I was a little kid. It continues to be an important part of my everyday activities. I think the first creative decision I make each workday is what music I'm going to listen to. My tastes are very eclectic though I must admit that contemporary country has never held much of an appeal for me. Generally, I find it too over-produced. But the classic stuff from the 20s through the 50s has a special place in my lexicon.

Two heroes of mine, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, seemed a natural fit for a country pairing. Both had their heydays mid-century, dressed in classic country attire and died way too young — at thirty years-old for Cline and twenty-nine for Williams. They each left us with a great body of timeless music.
