On Tuesday 2 April 2024, Gene Watson remembered a ‘Country Family Reunion’ television taping in January 2010, reminding him of fellow country music artists no longer with us.
‘I ran across some old photos taken at a January 2010 ‘Country’s Family Reunion’ TV taping.
It reminded me of how sweet those days were, as too many are now gone.
Charley Pride (Friday 18 March 1934 – Saturday 12 December 2020), Jim Ed Brown (Sunday 1 April 1934 – Thursday 11 June 2015), Jimmy Capps (Thursday 25 May 1939 – Monday 1 June 2020), Jan Howard (Friday 13 March 1929 – Saturday 28 March 2020), and more were on that one show.
Too many great ones are no longer with us.
Duane Allen’s wife, Norah Lee Allen (Saturday 14 February 1948 – Easter Sunday 31 March 2024), passed away on Easter Sunday (31 March 2024).
She was always so kind and friendly at the TV tapings, where she sang harmonies so beautifully.
I always enjoyed singing with her.
Shown here are a few of the old photos.
Rhonda Vincent and I were rehearsing, with Dirk Johnson on piano.
Probably singing ‘Together Again’, which was written by Buck Owens (Monday 12 August 1929 – Saturday 25 March 2006), which was on my album, ‘In A Perfect World‘ (Shanachie Records, 2007), which was released in 2007.
