Gene Watson Peer's Quote from Steve C. Chandler: January 2010



Gene Watson's Peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as 'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!

All of Gene Watson's Peers, who were contacted by The Gene Watson Fan Site, during 2010, were most gracious with their time and words.

It is here, within this special part of The Gene Watson an Site, that you have an opportunity to read a quote from Steve C. Chandler, which he submitted to this site on Sunday 17 January 2010.

Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Steve C. Chandler who made a special contribution to this unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

This quote was submitted on Sunday 17 January 2010.

'I feel that Gene Watson is still one of the greatest country singers in our business'

Thank you, Steve C. Chandler, for your support of Gene Watson.
