I just came in from CNN.com and Jerry Reed passed away in Nashville yesterday morning (Labor Day) at age 71,due to complications from Emphysema.

I know most of us here know Mr. Reed for his fun novelty song from the 70s,"When You're Hot You're Hot" and "Amos Moses". he may not have had the status of say Johnny Cash but he was still fun to listen too.

My brothers and I always got a kick out of him in the first 2 "Smokey and The Bandit" movies as Bandit's trucking buddy "Snowman" w/ bassett hound "Fred". (He was the star of the third film but without Reynolds).

Jerry also made many TV appearences on,of course,variety shows but most notably "Hee-Haw". He also guested on,"Mama's Family","Alice" twice and even on the classic saturday morning cartoon "Scooby Doo".
He was most recently in the 1997 comedy film "The Waterboy" with Adam Sandler & Henry Winkler.

Rest in peace Jerry,thanks for the msuic and the good humor.
