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 Tommy Alverson's quote, which he submitted to this site on Tuesday 10 October 2006. I (Sean Brady) would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Tommy Alverson who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'. Tommy Alverson This quote was submitted on Tuesday 10 October 2006 'Sean, I feel honoured you would ask me to do this. Thank you very much. Here goes: As an artist in Texas, I cut my teeth on 'Fourteen carat mind' (played it every night), 'Farewell party' & 'Love in the hot afternoon'. When I heard 'At last', it was the icing on the cake. Gene is one of those singers when you hear him you know immediately who it is. I got to play a show with Gene in Mineral Wells, Texas about two years ago & he's still as strong as ever. What a voice! God Bless Gene Watson!'
