Hi Miguel, yes Patsy Cline was a great artist and she too left us at a very early age of only 30 in a plane crash. Thank you for posting this video of her and thanks for wishing Kathleen and I "Sweet Dreams". I'm sure Kathleen appreciated it as much as I did. :)

Hi there Miguel, thanks, I loved this video of Willie Nelson, one of the all time great entertainers and how true this song is, "Funny How Time Slips Away". Looking back in my own life, I often wonder where all the years have gone. :)

Not sure how familiar you are with country music singers but there are also more great entertainers in the background. The ones I can recognize are Kris Kristofferson, Mickey Gilley, Porter Waggoner and Chuck Norris. There are probably others but these are the only ones I recognize.

Again, thanks

Hello all, here is a video that fascinated me both musically and by Mr Nelson's great rendition. A jewel, perhaps not so much in the lyrics as, again, in musical worth. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hi Mary Evelyn,

I am so glad you liked the video. It really is exceptional for several reasons, not the least of which is the presence of great musicians surrounding Willie Nelson as he sings and plays the guitar. To be true I did not recognize anyone except Kris Kristofferson, but they look so entranced as they listen.

Actually my interest in Country music is recent, I was looking for more songs to record at SingSnap and thanks to my search I discovered several great tunes that I did not even know to be country. Now I am learning to appreciate the life and work of some extraordinary artists, for example the late Patsy Cline, whose voice and deep sentiment while singing have deeply impressed me. What a pity her tragic death so many years ago.

Here is my favorite tune by Patsy Cline, 'Sweet Dreams'. I was thinking of it when I wished 'Sweet Dreams' to you and Kathleen in my post the other day.

Hello Mike, not sure what is going on but only the first, of your videos, is showing up on my end but then it is a great video. I had not heard of Kitty Wells in years, another oldie. Can you believe she's still alive and is 92.Here is one of her greatest hits, and again, it has been ages since I heard her sing this one too.

Hi Mary Evelyn,
I did not think that you would toot your own horn, so I tooted it for you. You might have to clean the spit valve before you use it again. I am not sure if it is my computer or if all of Connie's songs have been blocked, because I couldn't listen to any of them. She does not live far from you by the way. She is a good friend of Cliff Ayres and I believe she lives somewhere in the Fort Lauderdale area. Maybe he can get them unblocked for me. She has always been a sweerheart to me. Here are some songs from another friend of Cliff's.

Be careful before saying "I remember her well. People may start calcilating your age.
GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

(P.S. Cliff Ayres is 88 and just did a New Years Eve show in Fort Lauderdale.)

Kathleen, I had a post ready to reply and and I lost my Internet connection and lost everything I had written. :( So, I have to lick my calf over. Ever heard that expression? :)Anyway, that was a great song by Alan Jackson.

Hi Luis Miguel,

Those are 2 coincidences about Patsy Cline and "Sweet Dreams"... I sent a CD of Patsy Cline to my parents for Christmas a couple years ago (and an Alan Jackson CD).

I haven't heard the expressions "sweet dreams" since I was a kid or when I visit my parents since I've grown up, my Mom and big sisters would always say that at bedtime.

Here's one of my favorite Patsy Cline songs:

Here's one of Alan Jackson's most popular songs from a few years ago, with lyrics:
