Jimmy Pasquale (January 2007)

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 2007 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 Jimmy Pasquale's quote, which he submitted to this site on Tuesday 2 January 2007.

I (Sean Brady) would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Jimmy Pasquale who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Gene is a singer's singer.  One of the best voices country music has had the privilege to know.

I'm proud that he chose 'Bottle of tears' as one of his songs to record, and honoured to be able to call him a friend'.

Thank you, Jimmy Pasquale, for your support of Gene Watson.
