A lounge in Nashville 1986. I met the sweetest waitress. She was called DJ and we were singing to each other one night at the bar and she liked my singing. So she and the band talked me into doing this song on stage with them and I got to do that several times that summer. So every time I hear this song I think about DJ and all the fun we had so many years ago in Nashville. I wonder where she is now....
I keep being drawn back to this performance. Will always be looking for Gene to perform where I can see him again. My sis is seeing him this week-end in NC. Wish I could be there. He is so great.
Gene Watson at his best, and accompanied by those beautiful guitars makes this song one of his greatest. Those lovely words and Gene's lovely voice makes me want to play it over again.
What a beautiful song this is , allways brings a lump to my throat. we named our daughter Carmen after this song. Gene is a real country gem. love from the UK
Thanks Mark..........aaaahhh Gene Watson, a man with a voice that I never get tired of listening to. This was a beautiful version of "Carmen".....he could sing about anything or any subject and make it awesome. Jo
I think I will change my name to Carmen. LOL. Thanks a million Mark for this link. Gene is utterly fabulous as always. Between his voice, the guitars and the rest of the terrific musicians this song is perfect. I could listen to Gene sing from now on. Other versions of this song are good, too, but Gene is the man for the job in my eyes. Thank you for posting. - Paula
I love everything Gene sings - such a great and unique voice. Thank you Mark for this link. This is the first time I've heard this one by Gene. I've worn out my two old albums by Gene and wish I had gotten more when I found the two I have. I can't wait till Gene comes to our city this summer. Thank you SoundOnVision for posting. - Paula
Oh my gosh.... there is one of my heros at his best. I love how he moves his hand while hes singing , throws his head back and his motion with the mike... I love the guy then and now. One of the best... and we have him,Imagine that!
Thanks much for posting this. Gene Watson is one of my favorite Country singers and this is one of the best songs he's ever recorded! This man is COUNTY MUSIC PERSONIFIED, the way it should be!
I just love his voice..and it gets better with age..Still my favorite country artist and he never got the recognition he deserved.

I was there too, Mag, and saw him in Donegal, Ireland in July 2010. 24 years later he's still the best.

I also suddenly like the idea of being called Carmen. What would I give to have someone sing me to sleep with that song and that voice.
