@@bsvenss2 Well I am glad he has gotten that professional recognition but I think in terms of music lovers talking about the best guitarists, etc, he rarely enters the conversation and he well should.
In the music industry, Clark has his recognition as master, and certainly fans of bluegrass and old country recognize his mastery as well. Those are unfortunately small audiences, but the approbation does exist by the people Clark would find most valuable to his soul. The musicians know. Watch any YT reaction video by any guitarist watching Clark play Malaguena for the first time. Here's one, by a professional guitarist who puts Clark in the same class as Prince: ruclips.net/video/pGwmpvaDqcU/видео.html
I feel you brother, I’m a Latino born and raised in Oregon and hearing this got me choked up. It brought back memories of a very happy time in my life, growing up in the beautiful country. Our family, typical large Latino family with 8 siblings, sitting around the TV set watching Hee Haw, jumping around and dancing away. Definitely music to my soul as well 😊
Hey, I'm an old white guy but I've got over 500 CDs of black jazz and rock musicians so I don't see anything unusual about you enjoying a little banjo music. I only regret that more people haven't heard the genius of these jazz greats from the past. I never knew them either, but an old guy working at Tower Records 35 years ago took me under his wing and started introducing me to the legends one CD at a time. I don't even know his name but I sure am grateful he took the time so share his love of jazz with me. Now changing the subject, it blows my mind how few young African-Americans even know who Jimi Hendrix is, arguably the greatest guitar player of all time! Music is an endless journey and each genre has its treasures waiting to be discovered. The reward is a lifetime of enjoyment.
If God gave you a gift to sing, pick and play. Use it. Never know who you may bless. I'm 74, I sing at my church. God blesses me. Not on a lot medicines. 2 half pills a day for my heart.
When Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked “What is it like to be the world’s greatest guitarist”, they both gave the same answer, go ask Roy Clark.
And he was the ultimate entertainer. He brought good singing, astounding musicianship and comedy to every show. I saw him in person 3 times. He could have stood on a stage and entertained a crowd by himself with no back up for 2 hours, I’m sure.
Roy Clark was one of the first people to ever “shred” a guitar. He was mind blowing and all the Metal heads out there that love blistering technicians, take heed of this guy, who brought speed, feel and fun into everything he did.
ANNND .. Roy did it completely clean .. meaning, no distortion, no fuzz tones, no overdrives, no funny little tricks, no funny little Effects Pedals .. there's a saying in the music business that goes "if you want to separate the men from the boys take a recording straight off the mixing console LIVE, and that'll tell you if there's real talent and/or ability" .. and who is just a pretender ✌️
Brett Adkins, there's a British guy who reacts to guitarists, and he says Roy was the best ever with any stringed instrument, whether guitar, banjo, mandolin or violin/fiddle. He was so good, he could play something extremely difficult that another player would have to constantly look at one of his hands to pull it off. But Roy had enough talent to be able to play the most difficult songs, and still make faces at the audience, or clown around some other way. Yet, being in country music, many people never heard of him.
As a child I was introduced to Roy Clarks talents and was truly amazed. I grew to enjoy most all music but gravitated to rock. With that said, I never shied from country and always fought to show the rockers in my crowd what an amazing talent that Roy was. Here I sit, an old man now myself, still in awe, maybe moreso now as I feel the age of this man in this video. Still sends shivers up muh spine and brings memories to the corner of my eyes listening to the magic. Thank you Roy for a lifetime of music. Anyone else still listening in 2024?
Being a disc jockey of course I appreciate all kinds of music especially after over 40 years of doing it and still counting. Thank God for films that we have these memories of Roy Clark and Buck Trent. I remember when I saw the original video of them doing the song together and how they were playing around with each other in doing it! Sadly they are no longer with us as well as many other banjo legends. Grandpa Jones Flatt & Scruggs String bean And many others that are entertaining in Heaven now! Thank you for such wonderful memories and all of you are truly missed.😢😢😊😊
I just worked this week for a nice couple.started talking about music and the woman casually mentions she and her husband were in roys back up band ,the sound generation. her husband played A gibson howard roberts custom..
Early 80's, but same. I loved it unabashedly when I was too young to be self-conscious, then hated its hokiness a few years later. And here I am years later.
I was a teen in the mid- to late-70s, and one of my fondest memories of living in Mississippi (where my family was from, but I'm a Yankee_) and visiting my uncle in NE MS. We'd watch Hee Haw together!
Roy Clark has forgotten more and lost the ability to do more than most musicians can dream of and yet he came back and had a good time with his old friends. God bless him and I hope that he will continue to enjoy his talent until his final breath.
@@mychaljw Me too! Ol' Buck Owens was my Father's all-time favorite Country Music Star. Dad liked RC a lot as well, but Buck was King to him 🙏 RIP to Pop, Roy, Buck & all the great folks on that stage that have moved on ✝️
For some reason tonight a light switched on in my mind and my heart of my appreciation of Roy Clark. I have tears in my eyes remembering how skilled, funny, and a genuinely good a man he was.
Watching his old tired hands fumble brought a tear to my eye. A reminder that age catches up with us all, but he laughed at it and kept on playing. RIP
I was born March 25 1959 I have been blessed growing up to the best musicians that ever lived ,My God what memories I have growing up ,I thank my God for all and everything.
I saw Roy in Branson years ago. He was an amazing showman and musician. One segment everyone in his band pulled out fiddles (not violins) and went to town. Amazing musician and from what I hear, an amazing human being. RIP Mr. Clark
This is absolutely fantastic! Brought tears to my eyes for simpler times and family gathering around to watch the show. Good times. RIP, Roy. You left your mark on the whole world.
@@rocknroll7316 I got into bluegrass after watching Oh Brother Where Art Though? Love Alison Krauss..and yeah, I have memories as a kid of watching Hee Haw with my mom and dad. My dad loved that show.
I am 55 years old and have been watching Hee Haw from my earliest memory. LOVE Roy Clark and the gang! God Bless "String Bean" and his wife...remember them well.
I have very fond memories of watching Hee Haw with my favorite Uncle WJ, up in NE Mississippi. I'd sit on the fireplace hearth and we'd watch it together, so I always love seeing the folks, like Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Junior Samples, Minnie Pearl and everyone else. Sah-LUTE! lol!
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Patricia🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
My old man was a country boy so every Saturday night we HAD to watch "Hee Haw" and all the other country music shows. My biggest memories was the guy doing the Corn Cobb County "News", Roy & Buck doing "Picking & Grinning" and last but surely not least, BARBIE BENTON. Man, she was a knockout. Couldn't sing a lick but who cared. She was stunning.
Am in Tennessee & Roy Clark is the best.Saw him live many years ago & he was indeed a trip; played in all kinds of waysand showed us how much he could do whatever tricks onstage the best rockers could !GOD bless Roy Clark!
I was about 12 yrs. old when I first saw Hee Haw on tv. Loved country music since then. I'm now 74 and miss the great country classics. Thank goodness for RUclips which has allowed me to go back into the past.
God bless Roy Clark. The world needs more men to be humble as him. What a great talent he was but never once hear him brag on himself. R.I.P. my friend.
My banjo pickin brother made me love the dueling banjos! He was in a band called Jango in the 70s in the San Jose area. But he dueled it out with Annie a violinist/fiddled. The wooden floors of Mountain Charlie's were nearly stomped on down to the hill. Man! Thanks for allowing reminisce.
I grew up “having” to watch this country music show. I didn’t mind it too much. I enjoyed it more often than not. And this reunion is just mesmerizing. Thanks to all ya all.
Honestly, this video is adorable. The genuine love this folks have for each other is so obvious. The joy in Roy's face playing this is just astounding. When people live for music it never leaves them even when it gets hard.
One of the greatest things one can say about another human is, he or she brought me so much pleasure and Roy Clark did just that. He crossed every boundary and social line. I loved his gifts and always will.
I'll never forget Roy Clark. I grew up on music roll. I watched Roy drive his motorcycle through the window of RCA recording studio. Loved to play county music, being a Flatt I learned to play guitar with Chet Atkins, the Stoneman family, and of course my family. I'll remember that for evermore. Keep pick'en & a Grin'en.
I remember sitting by my father watching Roy Clark as as a little girl and he would sing a lot of those old country songs to me.wish. step back in time to those good old days.time taken for granted.
OMG! I grew up watching Hee Haw with my parents. Roy Clark held me in his arms when I was just a lil baby. My dad knew him, & Tex Ritter , Hank Williams senior. Ya I really was lucky to be born in this era... All Legends indeed.
I have been to Opryland where Hee Haw was play at, but didn't get to see them, I must confess I have watched a lot of Hee Haw but when I saw this for the first time I had tears in my eyes because I only remember Hee Haw when I saw it in the mid 70's, getting old sucks. I grew up with a lot of actors and a lot of celebrities being in your 70's like I am and don't see them for 55 years its a shock, you only remember them the last time you saw them and a lot of them has left us RIP 9/28/2019
Bernie Com My family went to the Reiman Auditorium and the new Grand Ol Opry with the theme park and all. It was amazing to stand in that old church where all those greats played.
Buck Trent was a great talent. Natural entertainer. Roy , Trent and Bobby were the best Banjo players that ever lived. Roy could pick up any string instrument and create a masterpiece.
He was one of the greatest. I remember seeing him in person when I was a teen and he was wonderful. He plays for the Lord and his angels now but oh how I enjoyed him while he was here. Still love his work. None like him. He was a rare talent indeed.
Terry C. like most music genre these days, country has been ‘pop’ularised. Classic, latin, country, house, techno and even hip hop. You name it, it is all bubblegum nowadays.
The smile on Roy’s face is priceless. This takes me way back to when I was knee high to a grasshopper, as my Dad would say. Back to a time when people respected each other and technology wasn’t ruining our world. Sure do miss the days of Hee Haw and the great people of simpler times.
This brought tears to my eyes, as a 23 year old. Its sad to see how much of this cast has passed on, I used to stay at my grandparents and every day i would watch Hee Haw and it was the music and raw talent that made me love the show. It was because of this show that i grew a love for music and i started playing guitar at age 6 and haven't stopped. God thank you for this show!
Just the amount of fun he still has playing after all these years makes every moment of this video amazing. Roy clark was my grandpas idol and my grandpa was mine.
My Dad introduced me to Hee Haw at the age of 3 (1972) when he was in the Air Force, and we lived in Japan. From there on, I became a musician, learning to play multiple instruments, including the piano, guitar, and fiddle.
50 yrs old Utah,Navajo Native American who's love's Roy's playing on hee-haw🐴never in my mind did i see or hear a better musician than Sir Roy Clark. Heard him play and perform at our County Fair & Rodeos 🐎 .During the 70s and the 80s he is still my favorite icon Country Performer Ever.☆.Rest in peace my friend ur loved 💖 by all in this great country of owers 🙏amen🐣🐥🐤
It was truly amazing how many instruments Roy played so fluently. Guitar, Banjo, Violin and many others. Great entertainer. All of them on Hee Haw. One final time with Buck Trent. Thank you for sharing this.
This brings back so many great memories of sitting with my mamaw and papaw watching this show. They are bothgone now, thanks for sharing. Brings a tear to my old eyes. Semper Fi from an old Marine
I grew up and knew Roy personally. He was a pilot and flew out of the airport we ran. He lived 3 miles down the road in Davidsonville Maryland. He loved his Harley. Him and Charlie Byrd played many a gig in Annapolis. A great guy and a local boy that done well.
as a child born of many cultures, Salvadorean, Cherokee and Coushatta and being southern Texan this lives in my soul I strive to be a cattle farmer playing this on my front porch with my best friend overlooking my accomplishments and seeing that sun rise and set over my herd.
first time I heard Roy I was 12,64 now,been watchin him since everytime I could catch him.My friends mom played the album one day and I thought what the bejeebers is that! Man we grew up with THE BEST! Black and white turned to color,landed on the moon,and got to listen to Roy Clark.
So many country greats are gone and as Vince Gill said at George Jones' funeral. "Some people ask 'whose gonna fill their shoes?' but I don't think they make those shoes any more." I agree with Vince. These shoes are no longer being made.
My dad really enjoyed his playing. I was too young to really appreciate what kind of talent he had until just the last couple years. He's definitely in heaven playing a golden banjo .
I find this kind of entertainment far more gratifying than anything the present or the future has to offer, and that is the God's honest truth!!! Godspeed to you, Roy! We will miss you dearly!
I grew up on Hee-Haw...family was glued to the TV singing along..started playing guitar at 9yrs old and still to this day...my kids are playing know..it just continues..god bless.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Kathy🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I wish we could just freeze in time when we are enjoying our most happy times such as this. ALL GREAT people. I can not say enough about Roy that has already been said. He is just TOO GREAT for words. Hee Haw was a great show and I grew up on it. I never knew until recently how tight they were for space and time, but they managed to put it all together. Dont forget Archie Campbell and Gordie Tapp..what a routine that was :) Roy is playing the banjo in heaven along with the rest of the members that arrive there over time. It still goes on and God enjoys watching them :)
@@margaretbedwell58 That's so sweet of you to say Margaret🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
@@bucktrent8255 Well I am almost 83 Mr. Trent, so I am not sure. But I loved and still love this style of country music. I guess from the 50's through the 70's. When country was real country. I still pull up the older fellas when I want to hear some great country music. May you have a Blessed day.
i never appreciated roy clark in the 70s as i was just a young boy. now, seeing him play and his talent, he was a legend for sure. that guy had just an amazing gift for playing guitars and banjos and pretty much anything musical.
Often overlooked but Roy Clark is a master of nearly all stringed instruments (Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle) and simply deserves more recognition
Winning prizes since he was a teen

Terry Obrien it’s more then a guitar...every string instrument!
Always a legend!
Rip Roy he will be missed
True legend of country
When Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked “What is it like to be the world’s greatest guitarist”, they both gave the same answer, go ask Roy Clark.
Roy Clark could play a pair of tennis shoes or any other thing with strings. A more talented musician I ve never seen. What a blessing he was to all.
Go find his guest spot on the TV show "The Odd Couple." He had the talent.
And he was the ultimate entertainer. He brought good singing, astounding musicianship and comedy to every show. I saw him in person 3 times. He could have stood on a stage and entertained a crowd by himself with no back up for 2 hours, I’m sure.
Right up there with Joe Maphis
I saw him play some fishin' line I pulled in from Grand Lake OK!
He was an octoroon though he didn't admit it.
The utter respect and gentle way Buck treated Roy shatters my heart! This was beautiful!!!
Buck has died today, 85 years old.
Roy Clark was one of the first people to ever “shred” a guitar. He was mind blowing and all the Metal heads out there that love blistering technicians, take heed of this guy, who brought speed, feel and fun into everything he did.
Probably the BEST guitar players EVER!

When I was a kid I used to think this show was boring. But now I get how wholesome it was and I miss it when shows were innocent like this.
my thoughts exactly

Boring? As a young boy I set there every time just drooling. LOL
@@TheRaghorn Like I said, I was a kid. Shows like this won't ever be made again. The world has become too degenerate.

Roy clark. The best musician in country music. And one of the kindest men to ever walk the earth. A real legend.
I feel sad but at the same time I'm so happy to see this. I'm 54 years old. I enjoyed them with my grandparents. Very happy to have this. Thank you.

Agreed. Born in '66 and watched Hee Haw every Sat night with my dad and fell asleep during Lawrence Welk.
Three legends right there. Today's "musicians" cannot hold a candle to those that came before.
We have no musicians today.
Depends on your definition of ‘today.’
While i appreciate the ‘dueling banjos,’ i prefer Sir Paul McCartney.
Got a little teary eyed watchin' that. Used to watch Hee-Haw with my grandpa. Back when you needed talent to be on tv.
Can't help but smile while watching this. As Archie and Edith used to say, " those were the days." Glad I lived them.

just seeing these faces brings tears to my eyes. The memories I have about my life back back then are awesome. This is fantastic.
God bless Roy Clark. The world needs more men to be humble as him. What a great talent he was but never once hear him brag on himself. R.I.P. my friend.
My banjo pickin brother made me love the dueling banjos! He was in a band called Jango in the 70s in the San Jose area. But he dueled it out with Annie a violinist/fiddled. The wooden floors of Mountain Charlie's were nearly stomped on down to the hill. Man! Thanks for allowing reminisce.
I grew up “having” to watch this country music show. I didn’t mind it too much. I enjoyed it more often than not. And this reunion is just mesmerizing. Thanks to all ya all.
Honestly, this video is adorable. The genuine love this folks have for each other is so obvious. The joy in Roy's face playing this is just astounding. When people live for music it never leaves them even when it gets hard.
the old guys still have it
I don't think there's anything Roy Clark can't play wonderful artist and a down to earth man love to hear him play
One of the greatest things one can say about another human is, he or she brought me so much pleasure and Roy Clark did just that. He crossed every boundary and social line. I loved his gifts and always will.
I'll never forget Roy Clark. I grew up on music roll. I watched Roy drive his motorcycle through the window of RCA recording studio. Loved to play county music, being a Flatt I learned to play guitar with Chet Atkins, the Stoneman family, and of course my family. I'll remember that for evermore. Keep pick'en & a Grin'en.
I remember sitting by my father watching Roy Clark as as a little girl and he would sing a lot of those old country songs to me.wish. step back in time to those good old days.time taken for granted.
Kathy Harrington your comment on your father is great memories and is the greatest star with guitar and banjo. I am a fan of him
Kathy Harrington sing me back home :)
Kathy Harrington, look up HeeHaw on youtube. You can watch every episode.
Hello Kathy how are you doing!!
Such a Beautiful memory to be relived....God Bless and thanks for the music Roy Clark.
OMG! I grew up watching Hee Haw with my parents. Roy Clark held me in his arms when I was just a lil baby. My dad knew him, & Tex Ritter , Hank Williams senior. Ya I really was lucky to be born in this era... All Legends indeed.
Hello Marie how are you doing!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing over there
Br549!😂
I have been to Opryland where Hee Haw was play at, but didn't get to see them, I must confess I have watched a lot of Hee Haw but when I saw this for the first time I had tears in my eyes because I only remember Hee Haw when I saw it in the mid 70's, getting old sucks. I grew up with a lot of actors and a lot of celebrities being in your 70's like I am and don't see them for 55 years its a shock, you only remember them the last time you saw them and a lot of them has left us RIP 9/28/2019
Bernie Com My family went to the Reiman Auditorium and the new Grand Ol Opry with the theme park and all. It was amazing to stand in that old church where all those greats played.
Roy Clark could play a banjo so fast , you could not see his fingers move, rumor was that he was the fastest picker in the music industry! RIP!
Hey, Trent's not far behind him!
I am a big city boy, but I used to love hearing Roy Clark as a child, and enjoyed Hee Haw for many years, as a child.
Buck Trent was a great talent. Natural entertainer. Roy , Trent and Bobby were the best Banjo players that ever lived. Roy could pick up any string instrument and create a masterpiece.
He was one of the greatest. I remember seeing him in person when I was a teen and he was wonderful. He plays for the Lord and his angels now but oh how I enjoyed him while he was here. Still love his work. None like him. He was a rare talent indeed.
More talent in that room than all the "new country" that is out today put together!! I miss Hee Haw.
Like u have to have talent to play new country
@@woodoopeople8872 LOL True. the new country is garbage pretty much!
Terry C. like most music genre these days, country has been ‘pop’ularised. Classic, latin, country, house, techno and even hip hop. You name it, it is all bubblegum nowadays.
Truer words never spoken my friend. Miss the days of Hee Haw!
Well, IDK, Alison Kraus and Union Station ain't bad in my book.
The world needs more of this type of special times
Hello Down how are you doing!!
I was a kid who grew up watching this show. Roy, Buck, Minnie & Grandpa, Junior, Lulu...and, of course, all those buxom beauties! A fun show.
The smile on Roy’s face is priceless. This takes me way back to when I was knee high to a grasshopper, as my Dad would say. Back to a time when people respected each other and technology wasn’t ruining our world. Sure do miss the days of Hee Haw and the great people of simpler times.
Boy, seeing all those faces sure brought back some great memories. We don’t get to see such talent in the same room very often. Rest In Peace Roy.
This brought tears to my eyes, as a 23 year old. Its sad to see how much of this cast has passed on, I used to stay at my grandparents and every day i would watch Hee Haw and it was the music and raw talent that made me love the show. It was because of this show that i grew a love for music and i started playing guitar at age 6 and haven't stopped. God thank you for this show!
Wow, that's neat. I play guitar and banjo and I love them both.
Just the amount of fun he still has playing after all these years makes every moment of this video amazing. Roy clark was my grandpas idol and my grandpa was mine.
My Dad introduced me to Hee Haw at the age of 3 (1972) when he was in the Air Force, and we lived in Japan. From there on, I became a musician, learning to play multiple instruments, including the piano, guitar, and fiddle.
50 yrs old Utah,Navajo Native American who's love's Roy's playing on hee-haw🐴never in my mind did i see or hear a better musician than Sir Roy Clark. Heard him play and perform at our County Fair & Rodeos 🐎 .During the 70s and the 80s he is still my favorite icon Country Performer Ever.☆.Rest in peace my friend ur loved 💖 by all in this great country of owers 🙏amen🐣🐥🐤
Bro I watched Hee Haw when I was a kid.. Roy Clark. Dude was multi talented beyond legend.
It was truly amazing how many instruments Roy played so fluently. Guitar, Banjo, Violin and many others. Great entertainer. All of them on Hee Haw. One final time with Buck Trent. Thank you for sharing this.
This brings back so many great memories of sitting with my mamaw and papaw watching this show. They are bothgone now, thanks for sharing. Brings a tear to my old eyes. Semper Fi from an old Marine
Roy Clark is one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century. He should be mentioned more with the greats
My Wife met Buck Trent some years back. He checked into the Hotel she worked at and he'd walk around playing his banjo and entertaining everybody.
Roy Clark is a National Treasure
Yes...and probably the world's greatest guitar player.....such a gentleman and talent
Fact Check: TRUE
I love his hair piece!
Amen
samspace81 zz
I grew up and knew Roy personally. He was a pilot and flew out of the airport we ran. He lived 3 miles down the road in Davidsonville Maryland. He loved his Harley. Him and Charlie Byrd played many a gig in Annapolis. A great guy and a local boy that done well.
Extremely talented musicians. There are a few living today that could touch this talent and likely never again.
Roy Clark. What a great Fella. Thanks for the upload. Love listening To Roy
Roy was a legend.. he could play anything with strings... he was the all time master. RIP
I am so
Roy clark was my dad's idol what was crazy is my dad passed away a month and four days after him. I did enjoy a lot of Roy Clark's stuff
One of the most underated banjo/guitarists ever!!! Sooooo good!!!!!!!
as a child born of many cultures, Salvadorean, Cherokee and Coushatta and being southern Texan this lives in my soul I strive to be a cattle farmer playing this on my front porch with my best friend overlooking my accomplishments and seeing that sun rise and set over my herd.
My Dad loved Roy Clark. He had all his “How to play Guitar” books. One of the best to ever play a stringed instrument! RIP
I loved this show and watched it from the start via my aunt, uncle and grandma when I was just a kid.
WE LOST A GREAT ONE TODAY ROY CLARK, 11/15/18, ROY YOU WILL BE MISSED, R.I.P. ROY!!!
first time I heard Roy I was 12,64 now,been watchin him since everytime I could catch him.My friends mom played the album one day and I thought what the bejeebers is that! Man we grew up with THE BEST! Black and white turned to color,landed on the moon,and got to listen to Roy Clark.
❤❤
So many country greats are gone and as Vince Gill said at George Jones' funeral. "Some people ask 'whose gonna fill their shoes?' but I don't think they make those shoes any more." I agree with Vince. These shoes are no longer being made.
Miss him so much
@@maryannanderson7517 Yep. Those shoes are too big to be filled.
I saw mr. Clark in 1972 when I was 9 in las vegas.I didn't know much country then,but I was amazed at how good he was.
My dad really enjoyed his playing. I was too young to really appreciate what kind of talent he had until just the last couple years. He's definitely in heaven playing a golden banjo .
One of the greatest guitar players that ever graced a stage!
I find this kind of entertainment far more gratifying than anything the present or the future has to offer, and that is the God's honest truth!!!
Godspeed to you, Roy! We will miss you dearly!
I grew up on Hee-Haw...family was glued to the TV singing along..started playing guitar at 9yrs old and still to this day...my kids are playing know..it just continues..god bless.
ROY CLARK : IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS EVERY HEARD , AND I'VE ALWAYS HAVE ENJOYED HIS GUITAR , AND BANJO PLAYING !
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Kathy🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
Two fantastic people who were just reunited and still have the ability to perform fantastically. It great down home music
What a treat! To see Roy after all that time, and he still had it! This was less than a year before his passing in 2018.
Roy was one reason why I started playing guitar and banjo
This was filmed in 2011. George Lindsay participated in this reunion, and he died in 2012.
I wish we could just freeze in time when we are enjoying our most happy times such as this. ALL GREAT people. I can not say enough about Roy that has already been said. He is just TOO GREAT for words. Hee Haw was a great show and I grew up on it. I never knew until recently how tight they were for space and time, but they managed to put it all together. Dont forget Archie Campbell and Gordie Tapp..what a routine that was :) Roy is playing the banjo in heaven along with the rest of the members that arrive there over time. It still goes on and God enjoys watching them :)
I remember Gordie Tapp back in Canada in the early to mid 50's, he entertained at the Chicken Roost, a restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario.
@@margaretbedwell58 That's so sweet of you to say Margaret🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
@@bucktrent8255 Well I am almost 83 Mr. Trent, so I am not sure. But I loved and still love this style of country music. I guess from the 50's through the 70's. When country was real country. I still pull up the older fellas when I want to hear some great country music. May you have a Blessed day.
i never appreciated roy clark in the 70s as i was just a young boy. now, seeing him play and his talent, he was a legend for sure. that guy had just an amazing gift for playing guitars and banjos and pretty much anything musical.
Heck, Roy Clark not only one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the earth, he was one of the best musicians ever
