    Default Everyone take off your hat and bow your head

    for Snowman from Smokey and the Bandit has passed on. One of the greatest entertainers and country music pickers has left us. Jerry Reed passed on today at the age of 71 due to emphysema. I will miss him and always value the times he made me laugh no matter how bad my day was.

    Sorry to scare, no offense but there was a greater Snowman than you.

    I am saddened to hear this, First the Great Chet Atkins, Now his long friend Jerry Reed..
    My Father who play's the guitar like his idol Chet.. Almost cried the day Chet died.. I wonder now how he feels.. Not only did he like Jerry, He had the pleasure to play with him..

    RIP

    On the edge of sleep, I heard voices behind the door
    The known and the nameless, familiar and faceless
    My angels and my demons at war'

    At war...

    'Which one will lose depends on what I choose
    Or maybe which voice I ignore...'

    Wilderness of mirrors
    Streets of cold desire
    My precious sense of honor
    Just a shield of rusty wire
    I hold against the chaos
    And the cross of holy fire

    Wilderness of mirrors
    So easy to deceive
    My precious sense of rightness
    Is sometimes so naive
    So that which I imagine
    Is that which I believe

    I always liked Jerry Reed. We have family in Nashville who knew him. He was a very nice man.

    The only Country artist I could ever bear to listen to. Not to mention that I quite liked the Smokey and the Bandit movies, as well. Sad news, indeed.

    Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed were probably my first biggest guitar influences.

    RIP Jerry. 8)
