He had a great voice. I'd heard once that he sub'd for a voice over talent that didn't show up and he was gold from then on. Not only was his voice tremendous, but he was very good at getting the recording in one or just a few takes. Less time meant less cost and a faster product.

I hadn't heard about Jerry Reed. Major bummer. He seemed like a fun guy.

Dang it. And I was going to have Cledus and Don do a voice over for me!

Don, in a world where...

Hammer down, Jerry!

We gone. B' bye!
