Gene Watson- Steel player

Post by Craig Stock »

I just noticed that Gene was playing in Cuervo , TX this past weekend, and wondered if he had a steel player and if so, who was slicing the cheese?
Regards, Craig

I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.

Mike Bourque plays steel with Gene and the Farewell Party Band. The steel in the band is the new Emmons ReSound '65

Mike Bourque is an incredible musician, worth the price of admission just by himself.
