Have you ever heard the term “Fosbury Flop”? If you aren’t into the world of “Track & Field” sports the answer is probably no.

The late, great Jerry Reed wrote and performed one of the most popular guitar instrumentals ever. It’s titled “Jerry’s Breakdown” and it has been covered numerous times over the years by some of the world’s most accomplished guitarists. You can see a great example in this previous post.
Today’s video features another performance of this wonderful song, but this one comes with a delightful twist. Watch, and enjoy… [Read more…]
