Title: The Snowman is dead

Jerry Reed died this morning at age 71. Pretty funny in Smokey and the Bandit. Rather sad in S&B III.

RIP guitar picker.

That sucks.  Most folks didn't know this guy was actually a world class guitarist.  He was always about the comedy, but he could seriously pick an axe.

I thought from the thread title that Jimmy Johns had a deal go bad.

Are you sure? I see nothing about it. I find it hard that folks forgot him to the point that some damn voice-over guy gets mentioned and not him.

I got to see him in concert one time.  My hometown built an old town replica and he came there and played one time.  He was a good musician.
