For no particular reason... #73 Ladies & Ginnemens, I present "Amos Moses!"
Well, there really is a particular reason. Or two.
I came across this piece by Jerry Reed that really brought back some good memories. Jerry was such a "clown" that his sheer musical talent was not often appreciated. One of the great guitarists of his era!
The video I'm posting is not a song that so much exhibits his skills on the guitar. If you want to see that, look at "Jerry's Breakdown." You'll find him one-upping Chet Atkins.
And, just to put an exclamation point on his clowning (especially with Chet Atkins...but also with EVERYBODY ELSE that mastered that mystery I call a "guitar"), be sure and search for videos of Jerry playing with Roy Clark. In my humble expert opinion...two of the most gifted humans I've ever seen with that "mystery" slung over their shoulders.
Anyway, let me get to this all important video. I wore out two cassettes in my Realistic player (by Radio Shack) of Jerry Reed's tape. "Amos Moses" was on it. I can sing it word for word.
But, I won't. Don't bother to thank me...
