INTRODUCTION:
Backstage Moments and Summer Memories with Gene Watson
Summer sure knows how to turn up the heat — blazing sun, wild winds, and bugs big enough to start a band. But no matter how hot it gets outside, stepping into the Grand Ole Opry always feels like coming home.
Gene Watson had the joy of catching up with two of the finest folks in country music: Ben Isaacs and Jimmy Fortune. Just moments before stepping on stage, they dropped by, shared a laugh, and reminded him why this music family means so much.

Always a pleasure, fellas.
