Com pares to, or surpasses systems costing thousands m ore Another versatile perform er, singer and actor. Jerry Reed will bring his talente to the Lane County Fair on Thuredey, August 19. "Hot" Jerry Reed That Jerry Reed is a winner surprises no o n e .. .you need the word " h o t" to measure more than a Jerry Reed song or performance. He can play a fine, driving jazz guitar, yet slip into the Chet Atkins style. He's equally good at singing, either pop material or what some might call pure country. He is a top comedian and a serious actor as was obvious in his movie roles with Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit). Reed is best known for his recordings o f "A m os Moses" und "W h en Y o u ’ re H o t, Y ou're H o t." When talking about songwriting, Reed says, "Titles catch folks’ curiosity because they become interested in finding out what the songs are all about." This theory may prove true of his current hit, "She Ool The Goldmine (I Oot The Shaft)!" His 1982 album release is The M an With The Golden Thumb and includes his current hit. Reed will have an afternoon and an evening performance at the Fair, at 2 pm and 8 pm. Advance tickets will be available at the Fairgrounds on July 19 at I pm. Advance tickets will not be available after August 13. Both per formers will have reserved seating only, and tickets are $1.00.
