He wrote some very funny songs and was great in the original Smokey and The Bandit.  May he rest in peace.

As a guitar player myself, I looked up to Reed and Chet Atkins.  They were legends and now both are deceased.  There is an entire generation of young guitar players like Vince Gill, who based their style on Reed and Atkins.  May he rest in peace.

It's a real lose.

He looks familiar but I don't know who he is
