This was posted over on the Chetboard by my buddy Phil Hunt. I think it is from Glen Campbell's TV show from times past; but if you can sit still and not feel better, then there's something wrong. As Phil mentioned, this may be where Reed first used the term "When You're Hot, You're Hot!"

Here's Glen Campbell, Jackie DeShannon and of course, the incomparable Jerry Reed with a jumping little tune. Extremely hot pickin' by Jerry and Glen. Watch in the middle of the song in the key change how Reed slides his bungie strap capo up 2 frets. Who needs a glider?

Hang on. This is a better thrill than the Judge Roy Scream at Six Flags in Arlington.

Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own

Ol' Jerry is a one of a kind. That's what Paul Yandell told me one time. He always seems to be at ease making music and acting a fool. The great ones like Reed always seem to have the ability to bring everyone else up a level or two. I used to have the same feelings about Roger Miller how at ease he was all the time and being funny just came natural. Great talents.

Great stuff.

Here's Jerry and Glen with the mighty Tom:

Check out Jerry's casual preamble before the song actually gets going - pure class.

Fun song, but I like the ones where he can REALLY rip it up even more! Thanks for the post, Richard. The clip reminds me of fun days of my youth watching the Glen Campbell show with my late parents. TV was better in those days, I think.

EDIT: Great clip, Deke! Again, wasn't TV, in some respects, just more fun in those days?

RicXIIstring, I can remember when I used to actually watch certain TV programs every week. Never missed them. Now, I just about wear out my remote until I get disgusted and just go to the studio and play guitar. Maybe we get too many channels nowadays. Maybe I'm too hard to please. Nah. Maybe, I just love to play guitar. Now, there you go. Yeah, that's it.
