On Saturday 9 April 2022, Gene Watson reflected on his time at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, the previous evening, Friday 8 April 2022.

‘Don’t even have words today, so will have to tell you much more, on Monday 11 April 2022, but I want to send a big thank you to Dan Rogers and The Grand Ole Opry, the good folks at 615 Leverage, Stephanie Orr and my management team for this huge honor to celebrate my 60 years in the business – and to all of you who gave me a standing ovation last night (Friday 8 April 2022) at The Grand Ole Opry.
Thank you is not enough.
I’m grateful to each and every one of you’
