Jerry (Hubbard- real last name) Reed didn't live that far from me when I was in Franklin Tn. He used to live in Brentwood ( Same county, different town). He called one of the country radio stations in Nashville, when he was real big and Smokey and the Bandit first came out and told the DJ, that he would give him an interview, if he wanted. The DJ laughed at him and didn't believe that it was really him, no matter how hard Jerry tried to convince him. The next day, when the DJ got to work, the manager of the station met him in the lobby and told him, " The next time somebody calls this station, claiming to be Jerry Reed, you need to believe him!" LOL!!
