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...

"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.

Here's a couple of great videos of Jerry with Chet Atkins. I bet they're catching up right about now...

He was so cool - one of my childhood heros, Somkey and the bandit was my favourite film I even had a golden eagle truck just like snowmans,

He was a legend, world is a little bit crappier now he's gone...
