Bob Regan (September 2006)
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 2006 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
Bob Regan's quote, which
he submitted to this site on Monday 18 September 2006.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Bob Regan who has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Gene Watson is the absolute real deal.
I was thrilled & honoured when he
recorded one of my songs ('Only
yesterday'). I had been a guitar
player for many years before I had any
success writing & I had played Gene's
songs in nightclubs & dancehalls
hundreds of times.
To hear the voice of 'Love in the hot
afternoon' singing my
lyrics is one of the high points of my
career'.
Thank you,
Bob Regan, for your support of Gene Watson.
