On Monday 4 March 2024, Gene Watson remembered a gift he received from one of his many fans.

‘Over the many years I’ve been touring, I’ve had many wonderful gifts from my fans.

Whether large or small, I always appreciate the kindness and generosity.

I had a nice fan bring this gift to me at the Arlington, Texas show on Wednesday 28 February 2024.

A 1943 Penny, with a Certificate of Authenticity, and a note, which was presented to Gene Watson by a fan, at a show at Arlington Music Hall, 224 North Center Street, Arlington, Texas on Wednesday 28 February 2024

It’s a 1943 penny, which is his birth year, and mine, and he had this note with it.

As Clint Eastwood told Toby Keith (Saturday 8 July 1961 – Monday 5 February 2024), and is quoted in this note, ‘Don’t Let The Old Man In’.

I agree.

Stay young at heart, and just keep on rolling down the road’
