Hi Pete, you still around? I know Bill played steel for Gene, but don't know what you played? bass, lead guitar? Or steel too? :)) Checking up on all the past history for our new forum / chat room for Gene Watson
Love Someone's Child, but it is a teary one. Great post thanks, Sharon
I saw him and Merle Haggard in Branson in June 2009, and I will tell you, Gene hasn't lost a bit of his voice and showmanship since I saw him in San Jose, CA in about '78 or '79. He is one of a kind.
This song breaks me up everytime. I don't know how Gene manages to get through this one. I suppose he is just great. Thank you for posting this lovely song.
As time goes by I appreciate more and more having had the privilege of watching and listening to Gene at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center here in Kentucky back in August. He was wonderful, as I knew he would be. He laughed a lot and did his hits -of course. His voice is perfect and his style and his charm are the best. Thank you again Pete for this video. - Paula
Gene DID cry while walking offstage. It has to do with what happened to his baby brother. And what makes you think that real men don't cry? It happens all the time.
Thanks ramey for the link, this man has the best voice in country music and I agree with olctrymtnman, we need that video of Farewell Party back on you tube, it was the best video ever, i watched it every day, I read genewatsonfan comments on another web site (cmt)and he was very dispirited about the whole thing
A great song that is sung by the GREATEST- Thanks Mark-
For Australianfan-
Gene Watson was born Oct 11-1943-
He has been happily married to his wife of approx. 48 years-She is called Miss Mattie-
He has a son Gary Wayne & a Daughter Terri Lynn & he has a granddaughter in college-
If you check out some of the Gene Watson web sites you can read more news plus lots & lots of past & present photos of Gene Watson & the Farewell Party Band-
hello Australianfan Nice to hear that you enjoy Gene Watson in Australia. I live in Scotland & he is very big over here. We all love him singing. Has he been to your country? Margaret
Gene hasn"t visited Australia as far as I know, but then I have only just discovered this beautiful singer in the last four years , so perhaps he has in the past
Mr. Gene Watson can make a grown man cry with this song! OMG! This song gets me angry just knowing that today, AMERICA is in a crisis! Thousands of jobs have been lost and hundreds more will be gone in the coming months. Many will lose their homes, family and livlihood! The story of this song might come true for me! I grew up believing AMERICA was the greatest country in the world. Now, a decent hard working man can't get a job to support his family!
What a beautiful singer and always so consistent. He always sings a song like it is his first time. I love him to death and would love to see him in person again.
Now this is a song that pulls at the heart strings and waters the eyes. It's another to include in my favorites. I do miss being able to see the " Farewell Party " video which genewatsonfan2 had posted - my memory suggests the viewings tally was well over the million mark?
Yes, this is a later song. Gene's not dead yet. I saw him at the Stagecoach Ballrooom on 12-6-2008 and he was better than ever. I think he is 66 but still sounds great. Mark
I love to hear this emcee say Gene is "the singer's singer". He sure is. This is another tearjerker but Gene does it so well. He has the kind of voice you never tire of and he must really put on a heck of a concert with all the great songs he's sung. Thank you for posting this and it's so wonderful to be able to see and hear Gene - next best to getting to see him in person. - Paula
I think you're turning into a Gene Watson fan Paula. But, then again, any true music afficionado can appreciate this kind of rare talent, no matter the genre. Hope you are doing well. Take care. Mark
Mark, I have become a big Gene Watson fan all over again enjoying all the great videos we are privileged to enjoy like this one here. He is a rare talent to be sure. It seems I first saw him on one of the shows of yesteryear - maybe "Hee Haw" or one of the other popular country shows. I get "Farewell Party" in my head and can't get over it. Thanks again Pete for posting this. - Paula
I can't listen to this one without tears starting to flow - and I don't cry that easily. Gene is the best ever; always has been and always will be. I will never tire of his songs.
I didn't mean to make you cry, but it is that kind of song. The music, sentiment and, of course, the vocals are just so beautiful I wanted to share it with you. Mark.
What a beautifully true song. So many of us take others opinions to "just ignore those people" "don't give them any money" as a hard and fast rule...forgetting the fact that those are just opinions!
Thanks Ramey58, for this video, Anytime I hear Gene Watson sing,I stop whatever I am doing and enjoy his voice and his music. this is a beautiful song.Just getting to meet him and speak briefly after a concert was the most awesome experience. He is such a sweet person. The picture I have made with him hangs on my wall.Forever a Gene Watson fan
I knew an angel would like this song. Did you the very last shot of Gene crying as he walked off stage? Very moving. Stay in touch. Mark in Fort Worth.
Hi Pete, this is your ole steel'in buddy, Bill Dearmore. Thanks for posting this, brings back old memories. I kinda miss it but not all the miles. See ya PARD,...Bill
I miss the hell out of you. Are you well? If you ever come to Houston I would love to see you. Have you talked to any of the others or Gene? If you do send them my love.
Bill, this is Kevin Key in Nashville. Been looking for videos of you w/ Watson. Hope all is well in TX and tell Bubba & the Can't Hardly Playboys we said Hey.
One my my all-time favorites! I wonder how many copies of this hard-to-find album I've bought and worn out or lost, probably 10? My favorite album of his.
Beautiful lyrics to this song sung by the master vocalist of a country song, that is Gene Watson,
