Bruce Burch (November 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
Bruce Burch's
quote, which
he submitted to this site on Thursday 30 November 2006.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Bruce Burch who has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'To have one of my songs, 'I catch
myself', recorded by Gene Watson was
truly a highlight in my song-writing
career.
Gene's voice has always
been one of those voices that when you
heard it you knew it...like an old
friend you have always known...and will
never forget'.
Thank you, Bruce
Burch, for your support of Gene Watson.
