Over and Out Snowman

I've seen the obits in the paper today for Jerry Reed.



Seeing the image of him with his gituar - I knew he looked familliar. Then I read that he was in 'Smokey and the Bandit' as Cledus "Snowman" Snow.



Great character and even better dog.

I miss my CB.

Most of the people here would remember him better as the "evil" coach from The WaterBoy...........


I saw him in Smokey, and the Waterboy, and he was definitely a good 'ol boys.


R.I.P. Jerry.

He was a hell of singer and songwriter for country music. He wrote Guitar Man which Elvis recorded. He was instrumentalist of the year for the CMA in 1970.
