'A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline' at Playhouse II
By Mary Simmons
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
GRAND BEND — The
music of country legend
Patsy Cline comes alive
at Huron Country
Playhouse in Grand
Bend.
Conceived and written
by Canadian Dean
Regan, 'A Closer Walk
With Patsy Cline' treats
the audience to songs
spanning the country
artist's remarkable
career, while allowing
them a glimpse into the
events that inspired her
and shaped her career.
Born in Winchester,
Virginia, in the midst of
the Depression, she
demonstrated musical
inclination at an early
age. Cline directed her-
self towards a career as
a singer with unbend-
ing single-mindedness,
and was at the top of
her game when she
died in a plane crash in
1963.
Her brief career pro-
duced the No. 1 jukebox
hit of all time, `Crazy,'
which set a new stan-
dard for Nashville
country music. Also
included in her rich
musical legacy are such
classics as `I Fall to
Pieces,' `Back in Baby's
Arms,' `Walkin' After
Midnight,' 'Your
Cheatin' Heart,' `Faded
Love' and `Sweet
Dreams,' all of which
are captured by Tracey
Flye, who takes on the
lead role.
She is backed by band
members Christopher
Mounteer (music direc-
tor and keyboards),
Jack Whiteside (guitar),
Kim Ladd (bass) and
Ian MacKay (percus-
sion).
Patsy Cline was only a
big star for a couple of
years, but her influence
was huge. While the
standards of profes-
sionalism on her
recordings have been
Elvis impersonator Dan Granger of London (centre) entertained the crowd at the
Community Living Auxiliary's Hawaiian night in Dashwood July 15. Dancing in
their grass skirts are Debbie Brownlee and Erin Noels.

they have rarely been

much palpable, at times
heartbreaking, emotion
in live performances.
The intimacy of the

the perfect spot to
enjoy the show, with
Flye's larger -than -life,
captivating perfor-
mance and the comic

audience in the role of
WINC disc jockey The
Little Big Man, but also
plays the unforgettable
comics at the Grand Ole
Opry, in Las Vegas and
at Carnegie Hall.
Not to mention his
enthusiastic pitch for
such products as Mr.
Clean, Ajax and
Winston cigarettes.
