    Roy Clark is like a kid who received the most awesome gift for Christmas and can’t wait to share it with everyone. He almost looks surprised he can even play some of the stuff he does. Such a happy guy!

    Please check out Jewel and her unique vocals and guitar... I notice you never put anyone down.. That's part of your charm.. But it's easy to say the voice rates a 9.5 and a solid 8 on the guitar..
    It would accent that one of their talents was truly amazing and the other a good accompaniment.. Roy have a great feel for music with an above average voice but the guitar was an amazing 10.. (My humble opinion)
    I guess what I'm trying to say is tell the strengths and weaknesses ..
    Or just ignore me 😁
    I really like what your doing and your love for music shines through..
    I'm 50 and just so glad at least someone is remembering the people who shaped the old peoples lives 🙏

      Ritchie and humility? Great player and spot on in isolated guitar tracks. But I've seen Rainbow so many times live and he didn't have a locking trem back then. I couldn't handle how out of tune he was playing. Dio made the shows worth going to for me. Then he gets on this kick where all the music he made "is crap." I saw Deep Purple summer of 2018 outside of Chicago. Steve Lukather, at least live was an upgrade.

    I lived in a small farm town in Northeast Oklahoma.Roy bought a horse ranch a couple of miles to the west.He was often in town to pick up things at the lumber yard... or to eat at the ONE restaurant in town. Yeah... it is a small
    Mayberry kind of town. Main Street is one block long... and people just park in the certer of it. Anyway.... Roy was just as average a guy as anyone else in town... in his worn overalls... driving a pickup truck with a lot of hard miles on it. Where Roy was in NO WAY average... was the fact that ANY musical instrument that he took an intrest in... he worked and obsessed with it until he not only played it well... he MASTERED IT. We lost SO much... when we lost Roy.

      Roy Clark was both an unparalleled virtuoso musician (not just "guitarist") and a fabulous entertainer and showman. He's in a class with Louis Armstrong and Doc Severinsen.
      WofP commented on how the band picked up on the vamping sections "on the spot." so to speak. But truth be told, Roy had been doing that song exactly that way for years, if not 10+. He used the thumb, music-stand, and boot sliding tricks at least as far back as the late 1950s when he appeared on the Jimmy Dean TV show. After a few years of this, he started saying (after the boot/shoe slide trick)): "That's getting harder to do every year!" Then after doing it on Cash's boot, he changes it to "I used to be able to do that one by myself!" My point is, it definitely WAS planned and rehearsed that way. Not the exact number of measures or repeats, but still...
      RIP Roy. We miss you.
      And kudos to young WofP for recognizing that there were/are guitarists outside of the rock genre!

  • @quicktastic

    Very nice. Roy was never going to sing like Johnny and Johnny was never going to play the guitar like Roy. A lot of mutual respect there. Johnny's performance on KK's Sunday Morning Coming Down was probably my favorite from him. Such a powerfully plaintive delivery. Amazing singer.

    Something interesting about Johnny Cash. Cash, my Dad and I were all in military intelligence. Cash in the Air Force stationed in Germany in the 50s and Dad & I in the Army. They had the same jobs Morse code intercepts. I was a Morse code intercept in the 70s. Sometimes you would be given a line of letters by the cryptologists to look for when you were copying. Absolute gibberish. But, somehow they had meaning. So we paid attention. Johnny Cash was copying one night and the line came through. He called the cryptologist, asks what the line means and it turns out Johnny Cash was the first person in the free world that knew Joseph Stalin was dead. Yep, I have the message right here. People often say Cash's music had that train track rhythm to it. I always thought it was the rhythm of well sent Morse code.

    Everybody, including a Country legend like Johnny Cash, had a wealth of respect for Roy Clark's musicianship and ability to just own an audience. Roy's playing with others was more like a magic show. He was just captivating and while he could have done stone-faced serious technical wizardry, he instead played the fool, only making his talent even more appreciated. A good annology was Donald O'Connor's dancing with Gene Kelley in Singing in the Rain. Gene Kelley was the classically handsome, widely revered dancer extraordinaire leading man while O'Connor was kind of a geeky, non-charismatic, comical sort of guy but when they danced side by side you realize that O'Connor was every bit the dance master that Gene Kelley was, if not more so.

God only lets a nation go so far and if we don’t repent and then He will judge. JESUS SAID REMEMBER LOTS WIFE. ABORTION IS MURDER AND WE CONTINUE TAKING THE INNOCENT. THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN NAME ONLY WILL CAUSE OUR NATION TO BE DESTROYED. THE ROT IS ON HIS PEOPLE. LOOK AT OUR MONEY. IT SAYS OPENLY “IN GOD WE TRUST “. He died on the cross for our sins.

    The Carter Family influence on Johnny Cash was a beautiful thing.
    A. Carter left him his huge personal library in his will. That sparked a lifelong search for knowledge and deep dive into theology.
    Not only was he and June's relationship a romance for the history books, but it was spiritual.
    Thank goodness Rick Rueben took up
    producing Johnny after her death. Brought Johnny back during his ultimate pain. So bittersweet.

    You're right about the backing band, the fact that the shenanigans going on at the front of the stage don't totally derail them speaks to their talent and skill at music.. all while laughing with the duo in front.

    (1) Keith Richards and Johnny Cash are standing next to each other at the urinals in a recording studio and Keith looks over at Johnny and says, "Wait'll I tell my kids that I took a piss next to Johnny Cash". (2) Merle Haggard: "I remember that San Quentin performance". Johnny Cash: "I didn't know you were on that tour". Merle Haggard: "I was in the audience". (3) Johnny once went to Twisted Sister's dressing room to get Dee Snider's autograph for his son, who was a Metalhead. And that's why Johnny, Merle, and Keith are heroes to all of us who don't give a damn.

    Two ultimate legends together and a treasure to watch them both.
    Shortly before Johnny died he recorded “Hurt” and Even Trent Reznor from nine inch nails has said when he heard Johnny Cash‘s cover of his song ‘Hurt’ for the first time felt “like someone kissing his girlfriend”.
    He also said that it matters much more to him than industry accolades like the Grammys.

      I believe Trent said later that Hurt was no longer his song, that Johnny "owned it" after his cover of it. That is amazing for both of them.

    Many younger people and those of the rock and roll persuasion may not realize that Roy Clark, when he flipped that guitar the way he did, was imitating the late, great, Bashful Brother Oswald, who played for Roy Acuff. Oz (as he was known) played a dubro and that's what Roy is imitating here. That weird laugh that Roy does is a dead giveaway as that was one of Oz's trademarks.

    Johnny's voice today would never, ever get a shot in Nashville. Why? The country machine has been coopted to produce formulaic music where everyone sounds the same and the songs are modified via a computer program. Johnny poured his experiences, his emotions, and life into his work. You FELT his songs. You experienced them inside.

    So much can be said about these 2 men and this performance as well.
    With Johnny, you nailed what made him so amazing, that was his ability to speak to everyone through his music. Genre was irrelevant. When you hear a Johnny Cash song its as if you’re 5 years old again and you’re grandpa is telling you his life story or dropping pearls of wisdom on you. Very, very few singers ever get that gift. I also love the respect Johnny has for Roy Clark. He has no problem letting Roy be himself and perform this song as the showman he is.
    As for Roy, he’s possibly the most talented musician of all time. We’ve all heard,”Jack of all trades, master of none.”
    With Roy Clark its,”Master of whatever instrument was in his hands.” Too many people remember Roy for the showman that loved to put smiles on peoples faces and not the absolute force of nature that he was as a player.
    Absolute icons on that stage. Thank you for this breakdown!

  • @TulsaGirlForever

    Honestly, I can only say ONE thing other than what's been said here, about John Cash or certainly about Roy. I never met Roy, but my dad had a few times....Roy was fishing buddies w/ some of the Tulsa Bass Club guys & could be found at the local fried catfish place near Ft Gibson Lake.
    Johnny Cash & Roy were both gentlemen, GREAT musicians & deserved every bit of recognition they got, and more. Thanks SOOooo much for sharing the talents of another musician that might go unnoticed by people that don't give Country or Gospel music a listen &/or the younger generations.
    Roy is also ONE of the influences of the way Garth Brooks handles his onstage persona, looking everyone in the eye & doing whatever needs to be done to make sure it's a GREAT show. A thousand thumbs up Fil, again!

      Back in 1956 my parents won a Radio show contest to have dinner with Johnny Cash because he was being promoted in our area since a TV was expensive and radio was the best way to reach people.
      My dad played the guitar and grew up in the 1930's with the early Country singers. He still wanted the free dinner at a nice Hotel , so when he finished work and was in a rush...his friends asked about this and my dad said that I have to meet Johnny Cash for Dinner .
      They laughed , but the next day in the News Paper and on the Radio was the update for the Dinner with Johnny Cash where my parents name were printed and heard on the radio as well.
      My Sister has all of our Mothers photos and she posted the Johnny Cash picture on FB where he's beside my Parents at the Hotel prior to going into the dinning area .

    It's just another reason folks should never underestimate certain musicians in various genres. Because they all take inspiration and often learn from each other. The wonderful mix here is as you stated Fil, the fantastic band behind Roy and Johnny. They keep the tempo looped in sync, waiting for the inprov to come back into the song, and then you have Roy having some fun with this guitar prowess, and then Johnny's great vocal storytelling. One of my all time favorite songs from Johnny cash is the Ragged Old Flag, the story and inspiration behind it is so moving, as Johnny did so well in nearly every song he sang, in his huge library of music. Johnny Cash would take you right along with him, like a fantastic novel, you can't put it down, and you don't want it to end.
