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.

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. 🇺🇸

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.😎
