Gene Watson’s Peers: Quote from Ed Seay: February 2017

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 2017, 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 Ed Seay, which he submitted to this site on Sunday 12 February 2017.

Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to Ed Seay who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online ‘celebration of a Lone Star Hero’.
