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.
