All dressed up like a cowgirl

Many of you may know Loretta Lynn through @FourWalls’ wonderful discussions but I needed something to put with this photo which I took at the Country Music Muster. I probably knew but had forgotten that Loretta, the country music singer, married at 15 and had six children. She and her husband were married for almost fifty years which is a pretty good record for show business. The singer in the photo was originally from the north of England but, although she has lived in Australia now for many years, she still has a trace of an accent. However, when she sings Loretta Lynn or Patsy Cline songs, the American accent is very authentic. She would practise the accent when shopping or whatever and said she was over the moon when a Texan tourist asked her what part of Texas she was from.
