Lesley Satcher (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 read Leslie Satcher's quote, which she submitted to this site on Monday 21 November 2005.

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

'Gene Watson is one of my country heroes.  I would have to say 'Farewell Party' is my favourite country song of all time.

If I were to stand on the moon & could have only one record to listen to, I would hope it would be a Gene Watson record.  I love him'.

Thank you, Leslie Satcher, for your support of Gene Watson
