Answers: LORETTA LYNN NAME HER SON"ERNEST RAY LYNN" AFTER HER FRIEND AND MENTOR, THE GREAT ERNEST TUBB?
SHE ALSO NAMED ONE OF HER TWIN GIRLS(PEGGY & PATSY) AFTER HER FRIEND PATSY CLINE.

Yes that is so true just as Merle Haggard named his son Marty after the great Marty Robbins. That seems to be a trend in the business when one artist respects another much.

i didn't know that . But now, I know. thanks.

Didn't know about Ernest, but I did know about Patsy. She's such a sweet lady, and she never forgets where she came from. Not only should Loretta Lynn be in the Country Music Hall of Fame, but she should be declared a national treasure. America would be nowhere without her, as far as I'm concerned.
