Gene Watson's Peers: Cindy Church
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 a quote from
Cindy Church, which she submitted to
this site on Tuesday 7 March 2006.
Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you'
to Cindy Church who has made a special
contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star
Hero'.
