Guest Andrea Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Just read on the front page if Yahoo news that country music singer Jerry Reed passed away. He was the guy who was famous for singing the songs from Smokey & The Bandit. :( I remember seeing him in Kentucky a long time ago. Was the Grand Marshall for the Pegasus Parade for the Kentucky Derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
