Andrea Zonn (November 2005)
Gene Watson's peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east
Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as
'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!
All of Gene's Peers who were contacted in 2005 were most gracious with
their time & words. It is here, within this special
part of gene-watson.com, that you have an opportunity to
read
Andrea Zonn's quote, which she submitted to this site on Thursday 17 November 2005.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Andrea Zonn who
has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'What
a lovely task. I’ve spent some time thinking about
Gene’s music, and reflecting on how he has impacted my own
musical journey, and so I offer these thoughts.
My
father and I never missed an opportunity to listen to Gene
Watson, and we were always delighted at the chance to see him in
live performance.
He is the perfect country artist, a voice as
smooth and pure as can be, delivering timeless, country
classics. One of my all time favourites!'
Thank you,
Andrea Zonn,
for your support of Gene Watson
