Jerry Reed had some fun records

Kudos to Tom Lewis and the members of the Austin Music family with the Shuffle5 label. Their music is as good or better then most commercial releases. I feel honored to program some of the last work of Gary Claxton and get behind the Carper Family. I've known Beth Chrisman since the night I met her at Ginnys a couple years ago. (I also first met Sunny Sweeney that way)
