Patsy Cline, "Half as Much".
This a Curley Williams song, Hank WIlliams recorded it first, mebbe '52 or '53. But you Williams never invested his music with pathos. Patsy sang it, tho, and she never sang without sorrow.
My mom, of certain evenings, would drink two beers, put on _Sentimentally Yours_, and pace around the house.
Things I learned: how music helps. how two and a half beers helps. how sad everything is, when you're sad. how amazing Patsy Cline was as a singer.
