“I got my first guitar at age of 7 and never laid it down. Momma taught me G, C, and D. I was off to the races son!” — Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed was everywhere in the ’70s. He was on every variety show. He was in movies. He did duets. He popped up. He was a major star, and – better than a star – a CHARACTER. I miss CHARACTERS. … Continue reading
The Sheltering-in-Place iPod Shuffle
By request: I play music as I clean. I also play music as I do my digital day job – which I am very VERY grateful for, since so many people just lost their jobs overnight. I mean, let’s be … Continue reading

Maestro Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed playing an astonishing guitar medley (try to pick out the songs!) on The Porter Wagoner Show. Reed was one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. I love the stories of him being called in from the … Continue reading
It’s Been a Jerry Reed Kind of Week

Jerry Reed: “She Got the Goldmine. I Got the Shaft.”
I’m so glad Jerry Reed did so much television. There are so many clips out there. Not a lot of guitar-playing in this one, but his persona, his vibe, his clothes, his energy, his maleness, his peacock-ness with his maleness … Continue reading
