This is only a fan site, but is dedicated to my favorite band, The Lynns. I hope to do them justice and to be able to share with others the beautiful talent that they posses.
BIOGRAPHY:
When Twins Peggy and Patsy Lynn were 6 years old, a teacher asked, "Don't you miss your mama?" Their mother, country music legend Loretta Lynn, was on the road 250 days a year, and the teacher's question stung young Peggy. She took a breath and replied, "My mama has always been gone. I don't know anything different."
The Lynns, 42, now have a flourishing career as a duo and seven kids between them. Often away from home themselves, they know what their children are going through. "My little girl said, 'You're going out on the road again? I hate your record deal!' " says Patsy. "It's very difficult."
As working moms and musicians, the Lynns say, they're lucky to have a good role model in Loretta Lynn. Says Peggy: "You have to let your children know, 'This is what I do.' My mother did that. I never felt my mom was gone because sh-e didn't love me, or for any reason except that's what she did."
The Lynns were brought up in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., mostly by their father, Oliver "Mooney" Lynn. Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal of him in their mother's biopic, Coal Miner's Daughter, was dead-on, the twins say. "My parents fought as passionately as they loved," says Peggy. They had been married 47 years when Mooney died in 1996.
Never "star babies," the twins attended public schools, worked on the family ranch and played with the children of fans who came to the front gate looking for Loretta.
Billboard called The Lynns' self-titled debut album "the first taste of something very special." On it they sing about the romantic night they were conceived, and about how their father died looking into their mother's eyes.
"We knew our mom loved us, and we knew our dad was there for us," says Peggy. "As long as you know that, you're OK."
The Lynns now tour with their mother Loretta Lynn, and spend their time at home with families. Patsy has five children and Peggy has two.

Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school.
As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning.
The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school. She also feared the electrical storm might harm her child.
Full of concern, the mother got into her car and quickly drove along the route to her child's school.
As she did, she saw her little girl walking along.
At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile.
More lighting followed quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother drew up beside the child, she lowered the window and called, "What are you doing?"
The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture."
May God bless you today and every day as you face the storms that come your way!
So glad to have you as a friend! I pray my music blesses you. Please stop by my page and sign my guestbook. Feel free to visit often and keep in touch!
In His praise,
Yvonne
