A Tribute
to Patsy Cline
The first Patsy Cline site in cyberspace, launched June 27, 1996
How did you first become a Patsifan?
When I heard Patsy's voice in the movie "Sweet Dreams." Now, there's a moment to remember...
Describe an incredible Patsy moment that you've experienced.
When I first saw her "live" in the video "The Real Patsy Cline"... I had tears in my eyes...
The ONE thing you'd have to save from your Patsy collection if a tornado hit your house?
One thing?! Well, I guess it would be the first Decca LP, "Patsy Cline." I could get most of the others again...
What's your favorite Patsy song from the Four Star years? And the Decca years?
Four Star: "Life's Railway to Heaven"
Decca: "Faded Love"
Can you remember the first Patsy song you ever heard?
"San Antonio Rose."
Pick 4 words that best describe you.
Funny Male Swedish Patsifan
What are you most likely to complain about in a restaurant?
Too little food on the plate.
What do you carry in your pocket right now?
Nothing. I have my track suit on! :-)
What Patsy song do you want played at your funeral?
"Always."
What Patsy discovery do you wish someone would find?
More live recordings, such as the Cimarron tape.
What's your favorite meal?
Fried chicken and boiled rice.
What other artists or bands do you enjoy?
Are you kidding? Haven't you seen the list of my records? :-) Well, to name just a few: Loretta Lynn, Lorrie Morgan, Shania Twain, Kay Starr, Alan Jackson, Bobby Bare, Tom T. Hall, Status Quo, Slade, ABBA, Manhattan Transfer, Glenn Miller, Crystal Gayle, Emmylou Harris, Wendel Adkins, Tanya Tucker, Dire Straits, Donna Fargo, Barbi Benton (whatever happened to her?), Roxette, Robyn, Elvis Presley, and many more...
What is the very first thing you created at your Patsy website, if you can recall?
The main page. It has stayed much the same since the first version, when it comes to the content. I have, of course, made changes to the coloring and the pictures, but otherwise it's much like it was in the very beginning.
Did you ever have a dog named Peppy? (Most Americans have, so I have to ask)
No, but "Patsy," actually... It's true. When I was around ten years old, my parents got our first dog, and it was named Patricia, but we always called it "Patsy"... How's that for a coincidence?
What's your favorite season?
Season one of "Star Trek: Voyager" :-)
Your worst time of day
No particular. I'm always on top! :-)
Your favorite/least favorite subjects in school
English/Swimming.
Name a place that you'd just love to visit someday
Winchester, VA. And Nashville, TN, of course.
What is on your mousepad?
At work: "www.wmdata.se"
At home: A picture of The High Coast Bridge
Do you enjoy rollercoasters?
Never tried it, but I feel sick when riding a merry-go-round...
Are you right-handed, left-handed, or both?
A little bit of both, actually, but I write with my right hand. In soccer I am left-footed...
Complete this sentence: "Someday I hope to...."
"....buy a new car, cash payment, without having to get a bank loan...."
What performer do you think might best be able to play Patsy in a movie?
Beverly D'Angelo (or possibly Mandy Barnett).
What's your favorite way to spoil yourself decadently?
Eating chocolate.
Which Patsy session would you love to go back in time and attend?
Feb. 4, 1963. The "Faded Love" session...
Which Patsy concert would you love to go back in time and attend?
Carnegie Hall. I'd love to see her kick ass in New York!

Steel guitar in "Crazy Dreams."
