RIP, Snowman. Keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your ass! Catch ya on the flip flop, 10-4

He also wrote and performed most of the music in those movies and quite a bit more.

Great find on that last vid! I've heard people say "oh that guy from Smokey and the Bandit" while never knowing how talented a musician he really was (I play guitar and no matter what vein a guitarist work is in if they are good the are good and he was GOOD)
