In the town of Winchester in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, there is a gravestone that probably says it best: "Death Cannot Kill What Never Dies: Love." It is a tribute to the late, great singer Patsy Cline. Not many singers remain legends so long after their death, especially after a short career of slightly more than five years. Cline died tragically at age 30 on March 5, 1963, which was almost 49 years ago. Her music lives on partly through such wonderful stage tributes as Always… Patsy Cline, which opens the season at the Ivoryton Playhouse on March 14th.
