Coming up soon on March 5th 2023, the 60th anniversary of The tragic death of the Legendary singer Patsy Cline.
She'd be 90 years old today had she lived, passing away at 30 in that plane crash in Camden Tennesee.
What's kind of ironic is, her one popular love song, "I Fall To Pieces" struck me oddly.
Her remains were mostly intact at the crash site, except that half her face was ripped off, her body was jammed under a down tree (a result of the crash) and her one missing foot was found dangling up in a tree.
The investigators knew it was hers, it had painted toenails.
So... in a sad, tragic way, she finally did "fall to pieces".
I had the pleasure of meeting her husband Charlie, and her daughter Julie at a dedication ceremony in Winchester Va back in 2005.
Charlie is now up there with Patsy since then, and Julie is handling the Patsy Cline museum there.
RIP Patsy, you'll always have a special place in people's hearts.

So many musicians and singers have died in plane crashes.
I had thought of making a list, but the internet has beaten me to it:
