Georgia Legend Dies At 71
9/2/08

Legendary Georgia musician Jerry Reed passed away over the Labor Day weekend. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Reed began writing music at an early age. Atlanta producer Bill Lowry gave Reed his first music break by releasing Reed's first album. Reed crossed over musical genres and was loved by everyone who knew him. Reed enjoyed success after he moved to Nashville. Reed's fantastic song "Guitar Man" was recorded by Elvis Presley.

In the 70s Reed continued his successful music career by keeping his songs on the charts. Soon Reed began taking acting roles on the advice of his old running partner Burt Reynolds. They appeared in classic films such as W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings, Gator, Smokey and the Bandit and various others.

Throughout the 80s and 90s Reed continued making music and appearing in various television and film projects. Look for a Swampland tribute on Reed very soon. The flag flies at half mast...

In addition, burberry scarf collocation also use this season in the climax, based on the burberry cashmere scarf plus drape, rhombus case grain with abstract painting as the general effect was carefully.
