  • The second admin on our Facebook page found this one, too. I have no clue where she found it. I think she said it had been on here but that it was taken down awhile ago.
    (Yes, that is Ralph Emery.)

    Can you imagine having a time machine and going back to the 70's and sipping moonshine out of a mason jar in some barn with Jerry while he plays guitar and tells some stories? That's a reason to invent time travel by itself!

      He got thinner as he aged, then died of the very slow, agonizing disease of emphysema, at 71 yrs. that's a long time to smoke those hated cancer sticks. I hate Cancer. RIP, Jerry Reed Hubbard, March 20, 1937 Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.~ September 1, 2008 (aged 71)

    Jerry to me was an actor, and a personality, didn’t pay any attention to country music. Around the time he passed I discovered his guitar playing and no explaining needed there. I play guitar and he is my benchmark. His music, man. I consider some of his early seventies stuff as Country Funk .Then there’s the Reed personality.

    In 1989 when I was on the DMZ in Korea Jerry Reed came up to the outpost I was on on Th DMZ. He visited the outpost just before lunch . When the HUMV pulled up to the outpost Jerry got out of it with a beer in his hand. He got the tour of the outpost. He is a real frindly and very wild man. I have the most respect for him.. He did talk about his times in the air force

He was the BEST PART of Smokey & The Bandit. Him & Jackie Gleeson. Am 45 & he is my "country music crush", my absolute favorite. Such a neat little guy. Sure would have loved to have gone out with him. What a date that would have been! Love ya Jerry! 🥰
