Thursday 3 March 2022
Larry’s Country Diner, Nashville
It was on Thursday 3 March 2022, when Gene Watson participated in a television recording of ‘Larry’s Country Diner’, in Nashville.
‘On Thursday 3 March 2022, we taped a show for ‘Larry’s Country Diner’, which was aired on RFD-TV in June 2022.
This is one of the most fun things we do. Everyone on the show is a friend, so when we arrive, there’s a whole lot of catching up, just like it is with a family reunion.
On this particular day, I was fortunate to have my band in town, so I was able to have my piano player, Glen Rodgers, and my guitar player/band leader, Chad Phillips, for the performance.
We also had the great Ben Hall helping out on guitar as well.
Of course, Keith Bilbrey and Larry Black, along with Nadine, kept us laughing. My band members, who were not performing, were seated in the audience, and you don’t know what it’s like to look over there and see them shaking their head at something you’ve just said. Normally, I can keep my back to those guys on stage, but not here. When you watch the show, you’ll see they were fully participating to keep me in line.
Coming up right after us to tape their show were The Malpass Brothers, Chris and Taylor. Those guys are just phenomenal. If they’re anywhere near you, don’t miss seeing their show. These guys are keeping traditional music alive and well, plus their humour just adds to an unforgettable performance. Of course, when we get together, we’re talking cars and trucks, because they have the same addiction as me for car parts and putting old junkers back in order’
