I just read this A very sad day in music Everyone in my family, and I mean everyone: Grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.. loved her. My family is from KY and WV, and many of them worked in the coal mines. They knew/understood where she came from. My family went to see her in person a few times. I was really young the first time we saw her and it was at veterans Memorial in Cols, OH. She put on an awesome show. We didn't have much money when I was growing up, so to get to go to a concert was a very special treat. | |||

RIP, Loretta. The other weekend the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" was playing on TV. Three of my siblings and I were sitting around, enjoying it, tossing out factoids, memories of her songs and appearances, discussing Ernest Tubb and Patsy Cline too...it was all very family. A career that lasted for over 60 years. Legend. | |||

What a wonderful example of an amazing life. Going the watch the movie again this week even though I’ve seen it 20 times.

My maternal grandmother, the sweetest lady ever, looked and sounded much like Loretta Lynn. The accent was a bit different, since grandma was from East Texas, but I could never hear Ms. Lynn speak without thinking of her. Really, it was a remarkable resemblance. not only in appearance and voice, but in demeanor as well. | |||

1981, my wife and I rode our BMW motorcycles to the first national rally that we attended. Loretta Lynn's ranch was a huge campground that week, hosting around 6,000 motorcyclists. She made a tour of the campground, saying "hi" to us. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I grew up with her music as my parents were fans. I was fortunate to see her on a USO tour in West Germany circa 1988. Someone there (I think it was our squadron commander) looked a bit like George Strait when he had his cowboy hat on. She comes on stage and promptly points this out to the crowd. Twas a great opportunity to see her that night. | |||
