It was a Wednesday (yes, I spelled it wrong in the video which is ridiculous because it’s my dogs name…*facepalm*) morning when the first person laid eyes on the wreckage that claimed the lives of Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas & Randy Hughes. I've spent months researching this plane crash, trying to find more, or talk to someone who went out to the location that day, but it seems most of these folks have gone with time. The best information and images I can find of the crash come from two sources mainly... Jerry Pfifer and The Nashville Tennessean photojournalists who were there.
The purpose of this video is to correct the misconception set forth in the movie "Sweet Dreams", piece together all the information into one story, and narrate the tale from the day they found the Princess of Country Music and her contemporaries in a forest of Camden, Tennessee.

Seriously, the only thing better than my song is the playlist generated after it. Also, I would love to perform at events benefitting Appalachia - please see contact below.
I'm still writing because I have no idea if anyone actually reads these things so leave a comment if you go this far.
Cheers,
