http://www.merchantsofmoonshine.com/flashindex.htm (listen to the intro, for a bit of East bound and down...don't click enter or you will miss it)
The intro to my brother's band web site for all you Smokey & the Bandit closet fans  I can assure you that if you knew my brother's background, you would be as suprised as I am that he "went country" several years after moving to California to initially work in Hollywood.

The somewhat sad thing is that most of us know who these folks are, including (probably) Paul Newman. They are dropping like the proverbial flies.
OTOH, for most of the post MTV world, they have no clue why this BBS would even mention someone like Jerry Reed. In other words, we have largely become our parents....

I guess Hendrix "entertained some people for a bit" also Wonderful "down to Earth" guy, met him several times. Reminded me a bit of Chet Atkins in that when you met him, he was just "another guy", not a "legend in his own mind". "Make it count, son"!
