On Wednesday 12 February 2025, Gene Watson extended Happy 81st Birthday wishes to fellow country music artist, and good friend, Moe Bandy.

‘Help me wish my good friend, Moe Bandy, a Happy Birthday.
Turning 91! Or is it 81 today.
It’s hard to figure out how old Moe is, because it involves a lot of long math.
Seriously, he’s a great friend, a great talent and I know you’ll make his day by sending him a lot of nice birthday wishes’
