Doug Supernaw (November 2005)
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 2005 were most gracious with
their time & words. It is here, within this special
part of gene-watson.com, that you have an opportunity to

Doug Supernaw's quote, which he submitted to this site on Wednesday 30 November 2005.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Doug Supernaw who
has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Gene Watson, to me, epitomises everything great and everything
sad about country music. Being, undoubtedly, one of the purest
country singers ever, I believe that he would rather be in an
auto shop singing for his buddies, rather than playing the
politics of the music business.
Houston, Texas and surrounding
areas have been the most competitive country music market for
years, and I don't think that you would find anyone down here in
the business who has not been influenced by the wonderful
gentleman.
I have the same sad disease as Gene, in that I sing
because I have to, not to be on 'You can be a Star'. The music
and honky tonks,
regardless of who thinks what about them, are very therapeutic
to a bunch of our breed, and Gene can bring you to your knees on
any sawdust dance floor.
Thanks to you, Sean, for keeping his
music alive'.
Thank you,
Doug Supernaw,
for your support of Gene Watson
