    Sad, very sad indeed.

    His music was considered a level you wanted to attain when I was in High School...I was lucky enough to be able to play a few of his tunes back in the day...Reedology and Mr. Lucky if I remember correctly.

    Sad...
    Regards,
    Paul

    "she got the goldmine" is a classic. I hope Eric Johnson does another tribute song for him.

    I'll miss him. Damn.

    I grew up on Smokey and the Bandit, too.

    Put that hammer down, and give it hell, Jerry.
