My 4 year old loves this song. And he just put two and two together that the guy who sings Amos Moses (the “alligator song” in his world) is the same guy who was Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit, or the cowboy movie in his world. Proud dad moment 😊

Jerry, Roy Clark and Glen Campbell are 3 of the most underrated guitarist's ever. The skill they had supercedes every modern player to date. I saw Jerry once when I was a kid, probably 35 yrs ago. He played a little local festival here in southern Illinois. To the other kids he was just some old guy playing music that our parents listened to. But for me, being that I was familiar with his work, he was a guitar god. Just to actually see him live was and still is one of the best times of my life. I was lucky enough to get his autograph on vinyl. Unfortunately it has long been lost. But that night I got to see one of my guitar heroes in action. It was amazing.

A few years earlier on the album Bogalusa Boogie Man (or was it Down South in Bayou Country ?) Gatemouth played Amos Moses. The Jerry Reed (video--Austin City Limits? 1982) guitar strength version good too, of course. Both are entertaining not quite Cajun songs with a dose of countrified funk.😎

Always awesome Jerry. RIP Talented with a Capitol T. Speaking of all he was (USA), look at all of those Peavey T-60 guitars and Peavey amps- made in the USA in Meridian, MS! 🇺🇸 My girlfriend in 1989 bought me a new Bandit amp. Dang, that amp was absolutely indestructible. No, it it wasn't a tone monster, but it never needed anything but to be plugged as it traveled with me for many years. Once I settled down and put together my something like my 15th guitar room, I just ran out of room with my tube amps and I wanted it to go to someone who could appreciate it as it deserved. That was just last year in 2020! Loud sucker too! Jerry was a proud American, as am I here deep in the heart of the great state of Texas. 🇺🇸
