Imagine that, a talented woman who had an amazing career yet stayed committed to her marriage (to a difficult man) and devoted to her family.

One night about 45 years ago I slept in Loretta’s livingroom at her Hawaii beach house.

No, not invited. She wasn’t even there. It was under construction, so I drove my truck under the just-built deck, climbed from my roof onto the deck. and rolled out my sleeping bag.

She was a good conservative and a real American.

Sadly, you cannot read even an obit these days without it being focused on feminism. What a strong woman she was! Did she stay married? Was she preceded in death by her husband? No. She was a woman who wouldn’t take no guff from men. That was more important than her wonderful songs apparently.

RIP

I wasn’t a fan but her well known songs “Coal Miners Daughter” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man”......have been heard across the nation for years.

Like “Dolly” it’s impossible for anyone to escape hearing their music.

Folks stopped at her childhood home- very small. The caretaker was very pleasant and Informative. Neat little photo worthy Appalachian type home.

Olivia Newton-John last month; Loretta Lynn this month. We are losing all the great female singers!

I went to a three day motorcycle rally at her ranch many years ago. Exceptional place, very beautiful surroundings. Quite a party it was with a private concert by Loretta She was a great talent. RIP Loretta.
