Sad.

For you Jerry  [smiley=beer.gif] May you rest in peace.

I'm so glad you posted about this.  My brother told me last night and it just floored me.  Just this weekend, we were trading music and he had a whole slew of Jerry Reed stuff.  Sunday he was talking about writing Jerry a letter thanking him for his service in music.  Of course, I'm a big fan of Smokey and the Bandit series and all of his fine work on Scooby-Doo.

This guy was very funny, but make no mistake about it...he was a fine songwriter, and a damn fine guitar player if I do say so my damn self.

Rest in peace, Jerry Reed.   :'(

I remember being a kid and watching Scooby Doo and loving the Jerry Reed episode.

I love Jerry's Reed & was very sad when I read this.

The highest compliment his music received IMO was when Elvis opened the '68 Comeback Special with Jerry's Guitar Man. Elvis never looked or sounded better & I'm sure Jerry must have been real proud.

RIP
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.
