THE SNOWMAN HAS BEEN MELTED

Country & Western singer, Jerry "Snowman" Reed has passed on. While I am not a country and western music fan, I learned of Jerry in the popular 70's "Smokey and the Bandit" films about bootleggers. Jerry played the truck driver, the Snowman, who hauled the contraband while Burt "Bandit" Reynolds ran interference between the haul and Jackie "Smokey" Gleason. For those, who remember the era enjoy Jerry singing the "Smokey and the Bandit" theme song, "East Bound and Down". I know what you're saying, "Gee Rusty, this is weird". Well , welcome to the Bastille.
