    My 4 year old loves this song. And he just put two and two together that the guy who sings Amos Moses (the “alligator song” in his world) is the same guy who was Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit, or the cowboy movie in his world. Proud dad moment 😊

    The Snowman was my favorite as a kid. I graduated kindergarten in 1980 and we dressed up like the profession we wanted to do as adults for the ceremony. I wanted to be a truck driver so I wore cowboy boots, Levi's and a cool western style shirt with pearl snap buttons like the Snowman. I ended up being a diesel truck mechanic/ part time driver.

    I am class of 1984. My parents listened to C&W and folk. I liked contemporary pop/rock music that tweens/teens liked. As I grew older, my tastes became more diverse. As an adult, I have a huge appreciation for artists like Jerry Reed (and others) who my parents listened to regularly. I was exposed to some pretty cool music as a little girl.

    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.

    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. 🇺🇸

    One thing about Jerry Reed was that there was no doubt he had a blast doing his thing…you could just tell he loved to entertain and he had a good time doing it. He really is a legend.

    Fun song. I lived in Thibodaux, LA when this song came out. Jerry skipped a funny verse and repeated the "only one hand" verse. Missed verse was "Now everyone blamed his old man
    For making him mean as a snake
    When Amos Moses was a boy
    His daddy would use him for alligator bait
    Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp (hahaha)
    Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou" always loved his laugh in the verse.

    This gives me a chance to mention Clarence Gatemouth Brown, again. Just saw a video with Roy Clark (and Glen Campell and Barbara Mandrell and Jerry Reed) whose 1979 album with Gatemouth called Makin Music was amazing. 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.😎
