Gospel legend Sandi Patty opens holiday tour in Hagerstown

Gospel legend Sandi Patty is coming to the Maryland Theatre Friday, Nov. 23, for the opening date of her "Christmas Celebration Tour" with Jason Crabb. During a phone chat this week from her home in Oklahoma City, Okla., we purposefully avoided the same old questions she's been asked many times before and dug deep for some off-the-beaten-path tidbits from her illustrious career. (Some comments have been edited for length.)
