I was going to put something under Current events then thought to check it here. I loved Jerry Reed. He was just plain cool, in fact, he was the picture of cool. I was 13 years old when I saw Smokey and the Bandit and I wanted to be a truck driver b/c of Jerry. it was so cool seeing these guys mess with Jackie Gleason. Too funny!! Sigh . . .

Rest in peace, Snowman. :(

Cledus Snow: Hey Bandit. Me an' Fred got a question.
Bandit: What you an' Fred want?
Cledus Snow: How come we's doin' this?
Bandit: Why d'you ask?
Cledus Snow: Well they said it ain't never been done before.
Bandit: W'hell thats the reason, son.
Cledus Snow: [shrugs] That's good with Fred.
Bandit: [laughing] Ten-four

And as tribute to the Snowman

So sorry to hear that. I always liked him. He was a great guitarist in his day.
