N0VCWER z 25-1tl~t.4 Nora Lee Is Patsified' OPRY PERFORMER CELEBRATES PATSY CLINE NOV. 27 By GEORGE H. NEWMAN gnewman@medlageneral.com Nora Lee, a longtime coun- try gospel singer, who has always enjoyed performing songs by the late Patsy Cline, will appear in the Nov. 27 Plant City Florida Opry, along with the Sawgrass Bluegrass Band, George Draper and the Crimson Creek Gospel Band. Lee, a Kentucky born singer, one of 16 children raised on a small farm behind Star Hill, was taught by her parents to sing and enjoy gospel music. Her father, who was both a coal miner and a preacher, let her sing in church at the age of 10. Like many country singers, Lee Nora Lee also learned to enjoy the sounds produced by Cline, particularly such hits as "She's Got You," "I Fall To Pieces" and "Crazy." Lee, who has performed at the event before, will be joined on the. 1914 Plant City High School and Community Center stage by three first- time performers at the Opry. The bluegrass band, led by Jerry Foley, has the 2003 Yee- Haw Junction bluegrass fiddle champion in Suzanne Lan- sford. They will be joined by Draper, and the Crimson Creek Gospel Band, led by Keith McKenzie. "I haven't talked to Myrle (Henry, the producer of the show) about whatkind of music he might want me to sing," Lee said on Monday. "I love to sing gospel, but if he wants me to sing a little Patsy Cline I can get Patsified in a hurry." Tickets to the Opry can be purchased for $10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Satur- day at the Olde Village Shop- pes, 108 S. Collins St., at Families & Friends Antiques & Collectibles, 1304 S. Collins St., or at the door. The show starts at 7 p.m. For more information,. call Henry at 752-4094.
