- (25 Apr 2017) PATSY CLINE GETS OVERDUE HONOR IN NASHVILLE
One of country music's iconic vocalists Patsy Cline got a long overdue honor with the opening of a new museum.
The singer helped to define modern country music, with a style that crossed genres into pop, rock and country. Famous for songs like "Crazy," "Walkin' After Midnight" and "I Fall to Pieces," she died in a plane crash that cut her blossoming career short.
The new museum opened this month in April just above the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville and features many items that have been in storage for decades, including many of her homemade dresses.
"You have some like this where they store bought them and embellished them themselves with the rhinestones and various things," explained her daughter Julie Fudge. "And then you have the ones that they made, that Patsy designed and then she and her mother would work together to make these."
Bill Miller, the museum's founder who also founded the Johnny Cash Museum, said her short career and the fact that her fame continued to grow after her death made it difficult to find all the pieces for a museum.
"When you do a museum, your biggest fear is content," Miller said. "And with an artist that passed away in 1963 that was a big fear, because at the time of her passing, Patsy wasn't a huge star. There weren't the legions of fans that were saving posters and memorabilia."
"And I must say, had we not gotten this set up and you put this museum together, I am not sure where we would have these things today," Fudge said.
Her daughter said that her mother still has an impact on contemporary country music.
"I guess you would attribute that to with the classic music," Fudge said of her reputation. "It has a lot to do with Owen Bradley with the sound with the undated music."

Finally, a place to display a lot of Patsy Cline things! So that her fans can feel a little closer to her, She seem to be a very down to earth sweet young lady with a lovely singing voice. Rip the great Patsy Cline. Big fan always.
We still love Patsy here in Winchester, Va. I lived across the road from her burial spot and watched from our farm the.day she was laid to rest! Jay Russell
Can’t wait to go! Been a fan since I was 12 years old.
I hope to make it to Patsy's Museum in the next couple of years, I hope I get a chance to talk to Julie!
I love Patsy I still listen to her music my favorite is Crazy She had an Amazing voice
I had the enormous pleasure of personally meeting Julie Fudge, Patsy's daughter, and Patsy's husband Charlie back in 2005. (RIP Charlie)
This was at the Dedication Ceremony of Patsy's house on Kent Street, that Labor Day weekend in Winchester va.
Wonderful town, and full of good vibes.
I do have to say, I broke down in tears at the Ceremony, and then again down at the Shenendoah Memorial Cemetary down the road when we visted Patsy's grave.
It was just so moving, so real, and so wonderful.
However, Patsy's music is much like a drug for me, and her voice soothes like nothing else.
The woman clearly put her all into her music, and in the same way her style, which many have been mentored by, and as far as I'm concerned, her legacy will never fade or die.
Been here and it’s awesome!
Beautiful
I'd probably spend the day there.
This. Is cool. Mark
