I'm enjoying some Gene Watson. This guy is still touring and bringing in decent crowds some 50 years later. He's been married to the same women since 1961. That's endurance. I can't believe he isn't in the CMHoF but considering he got in Grand Ole Opry in only the last five years it isn't surprising. He obviously ran afoul of some guy who has a lot of pull.

5/5

"I still recall the morning that I met you
Standing out in front of Wilson's five-and-dime
Staring through the window at the jewelry
Hungry for the things you couldn't buy

Just like a fool, I thought that I could please you
I saw you had an eye for things that shine
I paid seven sawmill dollars for a bracelet
Just to satisfy your 14-carat mind"
