Not a triple play but a quad!

Jim May I humbly suggest you change the name of this forum "Multi" play"? I find it hard to find a hat trick to post. It's usually a double or more than 3.

I voted everyone. I love Jerry Reed as a singer and an actor.

Loved him in Smokey and the Bandit

Eastbound and down is a favorite song.

I’ll bring that up at the next meeting of the forum naming committee.

Actually Charlie Monk (Nashville DJ, the mayor of music row) does a double play on his show. We were trying to go one better!

I wanted to vote for my boy Willie, but... nobody can hit this song out of the park like Arlo can. ����

I really like all four and Willie is a favorite. My problem when listening is no matter who is performing I start hearing Arlo in the background.

Voted Jerry cause he made it sound easy. Arlo was good too. Steve just sounded flat to me.
