    Glad to hear GW is getting a street named for him. I’m wondering why he hasn’t been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. If any country singer deserves this honor, it’s GENE WATSON!!!

    Congratulations Gene!!  You certainly deserve this honor.  I am so happy for you.  I have enjoyed your music for years.  I was working the Jimmie Rodgers Festival in Meridian, MS when you came several times.  Everyone always enjoyed having you there.

    A street named after him is a big honor, but like Westie311 says,  he needs to be in the COUNTY MUSIC HALL OF FAME.  There is none better.

    why on earth has this man not been inducted to the Hall of Fame yet?? He looks and sounds better than ever. I try never to miss a show within a hundred miles. His voice just gets better with age. A true legend!
