I took Juby and Kit to visit the childhood home of Country Music Legend Patsy Cline. This house was open to the public for free on the anniversary of her untimely death in an airplane crash at the age of 30, on March 5, 1963. It is furnished as it would have looked at the time she lived here. Docents were there to tell her story and the gentleman who spoke to us had known the girl who would later be called Patsy. He told us that she had bought him a Coke when he was 11 years old!
The songs of Patsy Cline are unique and catchy. She has a huge fan base and is buried near by. She truly grew up in this town and then made it big on the world wide stage.
This date happened to be on Ash Wednesday. Going on tours is not exactly penitential but I wanted to see inside this house at the great cost of zero dollars. The cost is prohibitive on any other day. I particularly enjoyed the adorable kitchen with its old stove and tiny little table set for two. It really showed that fame can come from God-Given mighty talent and very humble beginnings.
