In life Gene was a tortured soul who was perhaps unable to accept his greatness. As a performer he kept his stuff simple in the 60's folksinger style,but he was a great songwriter! His songs launched the career of Anne Murray but Gene stayed low key, but he did perform on Singalong Jubilee and Don Messer.
However the acorn falls close to the tree and his daughter Catherine is causing a stir in folksong circles.
