Gene Watson Peer's Quote from Bob Regan: September 2006



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 Watson's Peers, who were contacted by The Gene Watson Fan Site, during 2006, were most gracious with their time and words.

It is here, within this special part of The Gene Watson Fan Site, that you have an opportunity to read a quote from Bob Regan, which he submitted to this site on Monday 18 September 2006.

Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Bob Regan who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.





Bob Regan
This quote was submitted on Monday 18 September 2006.

'Gene Watson is the absolute real deal.

I was thrilled and honoured when he recorded one of my songs, 'Only Yesterday'.

 


I had been a guitar player for many years before I had any success writing and I had played Gene's songs in nightclubs and dancehalls hundreds of times.

To hear the voice of 'Love In The Hot Afternoon' singing my lyrics is one of the high points of my career'

Thank you, Bob Regan, for your support of Gene Watson.
