Above Jerry talks about Elvis & Guitar Man. Part one with Jerry Reed. Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937 – September 1, 2008), known professionally as Jerry Reed, and lovingly as the Snowman, was an American country music singer, country guitarist, session musician, songwriter, and actor who appeared in more than a dozen films.
I've always been enamored with 'The Joy of Painting'. Growing up with 4, maybe 5 TV channels available via antenna, much of the time you were stuck with whatever was on. Oh, and it's worth mentioning that if you ended up on PBS as your last resort, you knew you were in trouble. That is, unless you happened upon one of the most gentle and modest all artists: Bob Ross. I've been pulled into his 26 minute painting show at the most random times in my life. It's had a lasting effect on me and especially now that all 31 series are available on multiple platforms. I've watched every episode a minimum of 3 times. I've now learned important things about everything from color theory to seeking inner peace. If you've passed Bob off as a kooky public television personality and nothing more, please look again. Bob Ross is teaching far more than painting mountain landscapes. Thanks Bob.

Raised in Georgia, Jerry Reed moved to Nashville in 1962, taking jobs as a session guitarist and writing songs for country heavies including Porter Wagoner. Encouraged by guitar great Chet Atkins, Reed developed an instantly recognizable and idiosyncratic guitar style that suited humor-filled compositions including “Guitar Man” and “Amos Moses.” He and Atkins won a 1970 Grammy for instrumental album Me and Jerry, and Reed followed that a year later with a Grammy for country male vocal performance on “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot.” A third Grammy, this one for country instrumental performance, came in 1993 for another duo effort with Atkins.
Other major Reed hits include “Lord, Mr. Ford,” “East Bound and Down,” and “She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft).” He also won positive notice for his acting roles in films including W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings, and Smokey and the Bandit.

“Every move he made was to entertain, and make the world more fun,” said Reed devotee Brad Paisley. “Because he was such a great, colorful personality with his acting and songs and entertaining, sometimes people didn’t even notice that he was just about the best guitarist you’ll ever hear.”
