PATSY CLINE TRIBUTE TO BE PERFORMED AT AUBURN APRIL 12
     AUBURN -- "A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline," a musical concert
tribute by Dean Regan, will be performed on the Auburn University
campus on Wednesday, April 12.
     The performance, sponsored by the university's Performing Arts
Committee, will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Activities Center.
It will be free and open to the public.
     The performance, which chronicles the country music singer's
climb to stardom to her tragic death in a 1963 plane crash,
features more than 20 of her greatest hit songs, including "She's
Got You"; "Walking After Midnight"; "Sweet Dreams"; "I Fall to
Pieces"; and "Crazy". 
     A fictional disc jockey in Cline's hometown of Winchester,
Va., flashes through time from dusty roadhouse gigs to the Grand
Ole Opry. A five-member band backs up Patsy, who is played by Lisa
Layne. 
     The show was conceived, written and directed by Regan, and the
set, designed by Terry Genverdahl, utilizes a huge Wurlitzer-type
juke box as a back drop.
