Looks like this ol' Southern boy is gonna have to dig "Amos Moses" out of the 45s box and give it a spin on the trusty phonograph later...

RIP, Jerry.

Jerry was a hoot. He was also a cad and one of the best guitar players in Nashville. Chet Atkins stated so. At a little bar in Franklin we had some fun. RIP Jerry....

Very sad. May he rest in peace. Jerry Reed and Roger Miller were two very original Nashville stars that I linked together in my mind as compatriots of the same type of soul. They grew up with similar backgrounds and did their thing.

For some strange reason, I love, love, love that silly song. I thought it was so funny when I was about 10.

When you're hot, you're hot.

When you're not, you're not.

RIP, Jerry

Eric Johnson even wrote a tune “Tribute to Jerry Reed”, so you know he thought very highly of Reed’s playing.

First Don Lafontaine, now Jerry Reed...(altho Don Lafontaine as a celebrity?) anyway...2 outta 3

If you're a news geek like me, the third is Ike Pappas, formerly of CBS news, a fixture on TV and radio from the early '60s to the mid '80s.
