I smiled through that whole concert, not knowing one song, as not to upset the real fans I’d accompanied. And finally, seven years later, I see that it was worthwhile. **Superdude** loves me. I forgot one of my favorite concerts: **Jerry Reed**. He’s great. A house is not a home without a copy of “Smokey and the Bandit”. ---
