One of my favorites. In 1990, my ex got the house, about $20K/year which I’m still paying. I got my four kids and all the bills.

A lesser known movie that I remember from the CBS network run with Morgan Fairchild in a most unconvincing wig - Concrete Cowboys.
One of my favorite Jerry Reed songs is the theme.

I liked the “feud” he had with Bill Dance after Dance made him release a huge bass when Jerry wanted to keep the fish. The next appearance on Bill’s fishing show had Jerry Reed (in a poor disguise) pouring sugar in the bass boat’s fuel tank.

I not only met Jerry around this time in his career (I was about 13 at the time), but I sat thisclose to him on his tour bus when Dad interviewed him for his radio program. He was a hoot, sitting there and noodling around on an acoustic git-box and cracking wise. Him, Ronnie Milsap, The Hager Twins, Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn (oooooo, she had a thing for Dad, hee hee hee *wink*wink*), If they were on Hee Haw in the 70's, I met them, up close and personal. I think my mother has about a hundred Polaroids taken during those days by one of the intern DJ/gofers from the station. I gotta find them this Christmas. Good memories.

I can’t believe he died nearly 8 years ago. Where does the time go?

The song was written by Tim Dubois, who was teaching accounting at Vanderbilt's Owen School of Management when I went there. I caught his last class, before he quit teaching to go into the music business full time. He was definitely one of the more interesting and entertaining teachers I ever had. He also wrote Love in the First Degree performed by Alabama.
