Gene's Peers 2004... Ray Griff Hugh Prestwood Don Henry Buddy Emmons Stan Laundon Gail Davies Joe Diffie Kevin McManus Jack Greene Mark Chesnutt Chris Hillman Billy Yates Herb Pedersen Lloyd Green David Frizzell Joe Fish Buddy Spicher	Stan Laundon (September 2004) 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 2004 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 Stan Laundon's quote, which he submitted to this site on Thursday 23 September 2004. I (Sean Brady) would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Stan Laundon who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'. Stan Laundon This quote was submitted on Thursday 23 September 2004 'I was visiting the United States to attend the Country Music Association Awards Show & Disc Jockey Convention in Nashville in October 1980. During our vacation, we had visited Birmingham, Alabama when a traveling companion had noticed in a local newspaper that Gene was doing a show in a nearby town that very night. We did check availability & were told that tickets would be put aside for us at the door. I did make myself known to Gene's road crew & it was arranged for me to do an interview with him after the show. I think Gene was somewhat amazed to find a guy from the BBC in England in this small town in Alabama & he was only too pleased to speak to me - even though he was exhausted after a great show singing all his hits to a packed audience. I taped the interview for my BBC Radio Cleveland 'Country Time' show'. Thank you, Stan Laundon, for your support of Gene Watson. About Stan Laundon...
