Discovered Jerry Reed’s music recently and learned City of New Orleans in standard on my tele today. Pardon the guitar faces

He is one original picker and composer. My favourite guitarist. There is just no-one that sounds like him...

Love the guitar faces. I can't help them either. That's a great dude, style, and song. Nice work with both your hands, and putting this out. Cool Tele too. Let us get you a beer. You just keep pickin.
