The signatures collected are directed to Richard Weize at Bear Family Records in Germany & are from Gene Watson fans around the world & from www.gene-watson.com
The purpose of this online petition is to canvass for the release of a comprehensive overview of Gene Watson%u2019s vast contribution to the genre of country music in the form of a box set of his music.
Gene Watson has been a stalwart of the American country music scene since the late 1960s & it really is time for a fitting tribute to a man who has been a standard bearer for honest, traditional country music.
Gene Watson fans everywhere are anxiously awaiting the production of a complete box set of material; they feel that Bear Family Records in Germany, under the watchful eye (and ear) of company owner Richard Weize, is the ideal choice to undertake such a project.
A comprehensive Gene Watson box set would ideally include previously unreleased material, rare demos, studio out-takes, live performances, interviews, along with rare photographs.
Richard, thank you for taking the time to read this letter & consider this request.

As a fan of Gene Watson and having heard him, met him in person,I can say for sure I would buy boxed sets as gifts for friends and family that also love his music. I think its time one was available to Gene's fans. |

I have been a Gene Watson fan since about 1970. I was very lucky to meet Gene and actually become friends. During one of his shows at the Hitching Post in Bristol, TN I got to meet another friend of Gene's - Johnnie Baily. Johnnie was one of the nicest and most wornderful person I ever met. We became great friends. Johnnie has now passed and I still miss her as I bet Gene does too. I lost contact with Gene but finally in 2007 Gene got back to Bristol, TN at Rhythm & Roots and I got to go to his show. He was as great as ever!!! And it had been about 20 years since I had been to a show. I tried but didn't get to talk with him that evening but maybe I will be able to this year as he will he back to R&R. I can not wait. I am signing this because I think everyone should have the chance to own all of Gene's music and be able to hear him anytime they want. Thank you for your time. |
