Album Sleeve Notes

Gene Watson...thank you's
'After all these years and a lot of miles, I am still around.

Thanks to my manager Allen W. Whitcomb (Tuesday 11 November 1947 - Tuesday 24 October 2006) and especially my friend George Collier of Intersound Records.

Thanks George for believing in me and my ability to record quality songs for all the music world to hear.

Thanks to Kevin McManus for all the help in the studio, at the board, for your patience, and most of all for your great ear for music.

I had so much fun recording this CD, but how could I not with all the great players I had to work with on these recording sessions?  They made it so easy it almost scared me. THANKS GUYS.

A special thanks to John Wesley Ryles for doing such a great job singing harmony.

Thanks to my fan club president Leslie Ann Elliott (Tuesday 3 September 1935 - Tuesday 24 August 2021).

I would like to thank all of my fans for sticking with me through thick and thin.  Love ya.

Most of all I would like to thank God for the voice, my health, all the past success.  Without him I am nothing, and of course my Farewell Party Band.

Faithfully yours,
Gene Watson'.
