Chris Jones (October 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
Chris Jones'

he submitted to this site on Wednesday 4 October 2006.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Chris Jones who has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Sean,
I'd be honoured to
give you a quote about Gene Watson.
I'm
a huge fan. The first time I heard
Gene Watson sing, I became a fan for
life.
In a country music world of
trends and fads, Gene Watson has always
been consistent and true. He's an
inspiration to all of us'.
Thank you,
Chris Jones, for your support of Gene Watson.
