On Thursday 18 February 2021, Gene Watson was reminiscing about his tour travel arrangements in the 1970s and 1980s.

‘I’ve been sorting a few photos and I wanted to show you my first bus, a 1957 GM 4104 35’.

This was the bus the police impounded and let it set so long in the freezing weather that the motor froze.  I won my case, but lost my bus.

Forced me to buy my first brand new bus, a 1980 Silver Eagle.
