A very bad week

Along with our friend, Dono, another legend has passed this week. Jerry Reed, aka Cletus Snow (Smokey and the Bandit), has died.

I'm saddened by all the recent losses.

Wow, I didn't here that.. Thanks for the update..

I loved him in Smokey and the Bandit as well as some of his songs..

Last thing I remember seeing him in was when he played the coach in the Waterboy with Adam Sandler..

I am going to miss him I knew his songs before he became a actor and I enjoyed all the movies he was in.

Wow!!!!!!!

Jerry Reed was a funny, funny man, and had some good 'hits' back in the day.

"When You're Hot, You're Hot" and "Amos Moses" were just two that I recall, fondly.

What a funny man.
He will be missed.

Does anyone remember, "The Bird"?

A local radio station played that this morning...

I laughed all the way to work...

Jerry definitely had his own style, and you could instantly recognize his Chickin Pickin on the guitar.

I heard on the radio that Jerry Reed had passed away.

Very sad.
