Hee Haw was a guilty pleasure. 'Nobody' watched it but it was in production for over 25 years. Kampy, korny, silly, and lots of fun. Roy was a co-host with Buck Owens. Buck brought the 'Bakersfield Sound' to country music. Anybody who was anybody in country entertainment was a guest on the show at some point. Now, you've seen Roy on guitar and banjo. Check out his fiddle with "Orange Blossom Special".
Ole Grandpa Jones was a pretty good picker too. I dont think my folks ever missed an episode as long as they had me to go out and turn the antenna. The best Christmas present I ever got was a rotor for the antenna 😂
Growing up, we loved Hee-Haw so much that we were willing to watch Lawrence Welk with our grandparents that came on right before it. They said we needed a well-rounded experience of music. One of my biggest regrets was not learning to play the banjo or fiddle, but it takes something called talent to do so. But I did play air banjo on occasion.
@firedoc5 Absolutely right! It was "wunderful, wunderful" champagne music followed by the humor of Hee Haw. (The beautiful Honeys, the "Where are you tonight" skits and cornfield jokes.)
Roy Clark is a bad-ass, for real he is the Master of all String Instruments. He has all skill of any Rock guitar players, country banjo, violin. Man was a master.
Hee Haw was one of the few shows as a kid that mom, dad and I watched every Saturday from 1970 until about 1984. It was so much fun with the comedy and the musical performers. It's a huge rabbit hole to journey through for country musicians during the 70's that I really enjoyed back then and I was a rock and progressive rock person at heart.
This song was made famous in the movie "deliverance" with Burt Reynolds & Jon Voight, they were very young. The scene the song is in is quite unforgetable. Excellent movie with a few scenes that are still shocking by today's standards.
@@sheryldalton8965 Snuck-in movie theatre in 1972 at 12 years-old. Got to give Ned credit for taking that role. Same year Cosmopolitan magazine's *first* nude male centerfold which was none other than Burt Reynolds. Both were shocking at that time.
This is from the tv show Hee Haw. Very popular back in the 70’s. A country comedian variety show. Two of the main artists were Roy Clark and Buck Owen’s. It was a very fun show to watch.
Sam needs to square dance :) Great video, love Roy Clark and Buck Trent is awesome as well. I remember the show "Hee Haw" as a kid. always comedy as well as great music.
Roy and Buck were great entertainers.One of the very best banjo players was Earl Scruggs,there is a great video of Earl Scruggs and friends playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown,I think you would enjoy seeing Earl and the many greats playing with him.
Roy Clark is a Master on guitar, banjo and the violin (fiddle). Buck Trent was not a singer but was one of the most renowned instrumentalist in Country Music. He could play the banjo, mandolin, dobro, steel guitar and guitar. Friends for decades Buck and Roy are a 2-time Country Music Association’s “Instrumental Duo/Group of the Year”. Buck won the same award 3 additional times with a different partner. He was also a twice named “Instrumentalist of the Year”. Buck performed on Roy Clark’s Variety Show and later Hee Haw, co-hosted by Roy, where this video came from. He even toured with Roy as well as Mickey Gilly and Porter Wagoner. He was one of the studio musicians on Dolly Parton’s original recordings of “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene”.
If memory serves me, the Deuling Banjos version from the movie, Deliverance, was with a banjo and an acoustic guitar. And.....I believe it may have been Buck Trent, actually playing on that soundtrack. An any rate, Roy Clark was a master musician and I had an album once that was a collaboration between he and Buck Trent. Fantastic stuff.
A good representative of Hee Haw is “grief, despair, agony and woe”. And “ where where are you tonight”. And the set They are playing on looks like the Hee Haw set.
“Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me”. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Roy Clark was a hilarious hoot, a genius musician, an amazing country vocalist, and an all-around nice gentleman! The lady you said y’all saw at the beginning was Cathy Baker. Just as cute and sweet as could be! I had a major crush on her as a teenager watching the show! 😁 This also reminds me so much of my Daddy who could play the banjo, the mandolin, and the harmonica! 🥹
The show that they were on was called Hee Haw. It was a weekly show for at least a decade. Roy clark is a master player of any instrument with strings. You cant go wrong with any example that you find
Roy won a national banjo competition at ages 14 & 15, and was one of the greatest musicians ever. Buck was a masterful musician in his own right, and they both possessed excellent comic skills.
I worked for George Jones & his wife Nancy back in the 80's at their music park & dancehall here in my small SE Texas town where they lived at the time. George performed on HeeHaw probably for the last time as the show went off not long after. Nancy brought me back a HeeHaw sweatshirt from the show. She said the few she got were the last of them. I've worn it from time to time through the years j it still looks great. The donkey logo is still bright & vivid. That was an exciting fun job but like all good things it didn't last, they moved back to Nashville. All us old timers still reminisce about those days. The whole town mourned whrn they left haha
I second an earlier comment that would close the stringed trifecta -- Roy playing "Orange Blossom Special" on the fiddle paired with 12-year-old Jimmy Henley playing banjo. The kid is great and Roy shows he has a little something extra on the fiddle.
The Banjo is the Most American of Musical Instruments. Shows up Frequently in Stephen Foster Plantation songs. I wrote my Master's Thesis for American History on " Stephen Foster and the Rise of Popular Music in America"...Camptown Races, Ring Ring the Banjo, Old Folks At Home, Oh Susanna, The Glendy Burke, Old Kentucky Home, and a Lot of 1800's Minstrel Shows music, such as Dixie's Land, .......
These guys are way beyond great. This is literally a duel between the two banjos. The original tune "Dueling Banjos" was between a banjo & an acoustic guitar & was from the movie "Deliverance". It is for sure something you should check out. The movie itself is also well worth checking out.
Having a second person on the show is necessary. The banter back and forth is like another layer of texture for us viewers, whether it's good, bad or ugly 😂
Phil & Sam Roy and Buck Trent here were part of country variety comedy show called Hee Haw. Roy's cohost was Buck Owens. They had had country artists of the past with some possible still living today.
This was from the show “Hee Haw” and back in the 70s and 80s there was not that much on tv on a Sunday so we would watch it mostly for the comedy and the girls but they also had some great performances. Their “Doom, Dispair, and Agony On Me” skit was awesome. You should check out an episode and see. Roy also did his version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison” with his guitar ad-libs that is great!
Roy Clark was one of very, very few people that have mastered many stringed instruments. The guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle or if you're fancy violin. He was also well know for his harmonica playing.
😊❤ Hi Phil and Sam! 😅 I have to agree with another viewer; Hee Haw was definitely a 'guilty pleasure'!! LOL 😂 Even as much as an elementary school kid feel that!! LOL 😂 I just remember nobody talked about it but when I 'had to watch because my parents were watching it'; I remember LMAO 😂🤣 Luv ya! 😊❤❤
I have never played an instrument. But on Pawn Stars, (the show about a Las Vegas pawn shop) a guy came in wanting to pawn a banjo. And of course he said it was a famous banjo and he wanted a lot of money. Well they had no experience with banjo's so they called in a music shop owner they had used in the past to advise them. He looked it over and said yes it was a pretty good make of banjo, but he gave a value on it, that while good, was not the amount the owner thought it was worth. They let him play it, but he turned them down. He said he was a good player on the guitar, but other than they both have strings, they are entirely differently played instruments. So this demonstrates just how talented Roy Clark was, that he mastered multiple different instruments, and could seamlessly shift between them.
If you want to see an amazing clip of Roy Clark watch the 70s TV show clip of him playing guitar on The Odd Couple… you won’t believe it. It’s the closing segment of the episode.
Concept of variety TV show *"Hee Haw"* (christian-country-right) was to be an alternative to variety TV show Rowan & Martin's *"Laugh-In"* (mod-hippy-left)
You guys need to check out the band confederate railroad, the name isn't anything like how they sing or sound, there one of the more under rated older country bands in my opinion, awesome reaction as always, love the channel
Roy Clark played more with Buck Owens than Buck Trent, especially with Owens a 'Hee-Haw' reg' with his Red, White, & Blue iconically patriotically striped guitar! 🇺🇸
Great video. I have an anecdote for you. Several years ago, I read about an interview Jimi Hendrix waa doing. The interviewer asked Jimi how it feels to be the best guitarist in the world. Jimi's response? 'Don't ask me. Ask Roy Clark."
Roy Clark is the truth. Side notes; Steve Martin is an award winning banjo musician, won Grammys. My great grandfather on my mother’s side was also a banjoist, and had a wooden leg. As a joke/prank, he would tie meat to that leg, and let neighboring dogs go at it as he yelled.
Definitely check out Hee-Haw! I would recommend the corn field, empty arms hotel, and the gloom/despair/agony on me skits. Also try to find some grandpa jones bits or his playing the banjo to the song Good Ol' Mountain Dew (not the soda btw, LOL)
Another type of dancing that is popular with country music is square dancing. Square dancing has been around for centuries. It is a dance made up by any number of couples. A caller will instruct the dancers on what to do in the dance. The music could come from homemade instruments or it could come from a single instrument like a fiddle. It’s called square dancing because during the dance the caller will instruct the dancers to form a square. Four sets of couples will break off from the larger group to form individual squares. Each individual square of dancers will follow the instructions given by the caller. Line dancing became popular in the 1980s I believe and unlike square dancing you do not need to have a partner for line dancing.
Just remember, the best duo was Roy Clark and Buck Owens. We saw that essentially weekly on episodes of _'Hee Haw'._ "I'm a pickin' and I'm a grinnin'"
So hee haw was a variety show from the 70s and 80s. They had a regular cast kind of like a hillbilly version of Saturday Night Live. You would have legendary country music acts as guests.
You definitely need to check out Hee Haw. It was a great, wholesome show that was a variety type show with skits, singers, and music. It was a country, more PG version of Laugh In which was another of the same type of show based on the 60's styles and attitudes. The cast of Hee Haw would sing gospel songs together. It's great!
If you want some bluegrass, check out Flatt & Scruggs or Bill Monroe. If you want another funny duel like this one, check out Jack Benny and Gisele MacKenzie on Getting to Know You (both on violin).
Hee Haw was a guilty pleasure. 'Nobody' watched it but it was in production for over 25 years. Kampy, korny, silly, and lots of fun. Roy was a co-host with Buck Owens. Buck brought the 'Bakersfield Sound' to country music. Anybody who was anybody in country entertainment was a guest on the show at some point.
Now, you've seen Roy on guitar and banjo. Check out his fiddle with "Orange Blossom Special".
It was kind of a television continuation of the Grand Ol' Opry -- including many of the same stars like Grandpa Jones and Minnie Pearl.
Ole Grandpa Jones was a pretty good picker too.
I dont think my folks ever missed an episode as long as they had me to go out and turn the antenna. The best Christmas present I ever got was a rotor for the antenna 😂
@@intensetornado Boy were those different times!
@@intensetornado Same, only our *Viking* black and white *TV* had in-door *Rabbit Ears*
Gloom, despair, and agony on meeeeee
The version from the movie "deliverance" is fantastic. It reached no 2 in the usa bilboard 100 in 1973.....
YES.
It was a huge crossover hit. People who never listened to Country Music couldn't get enough of this song.
That was much, much better than this one.
It sold 3 million copies.
If you haven't seen "Deliverance," you have to. Roy Clark is one of one - master of every string instrument ever.
Growing up, we loved Hee-Haw so much that we were willing to watch Lawrence Welk with our grandparents that came on right before it. They said we needed a well-rounded experience of music. One of my biggest regrets was not learning to play the banjo or fiddle, but it takes something called talent to do so. But I did play air banjo on occasion.
Aw, I loved Lawrence Welk! That was everyone's Nana's show when I was growing up.
@firedoc5 Absolutely right! It was "wunderful, wunderful" champagne music followed by the humor of Hee Haw. (The beautiful Honeys, the "Where are you tonight" skits and cornfield jokes.)
I couldn't stand Lawrence Welk back then but would probably appreciate it more now than I did then. I loved Hee Haw
I loved both Lawrence Welk and Hee-Haw. Still do at 69!
Being hard rocking New Yorkers, my brother and I would never admit to our parents that we liked Her Haw, but of course we always watched it with them.
You need to hear Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Flatt and Scruggs. Steve Martin is also a virtuoso on the banjo.
Seconding Foggy Mountain.
And don't forget Orange Blossom Special!
Two of the best banjo players in this universe.
Roy Clark is a bad-ass, for real he is the Master of all String Instruments. He has all skill of any Rock guitar players, country banjo, violin. Man was a master.
Hee Haw was one of the few shows as a kid that mom, dad and I watched every Saturday from 1970 until about 1984.

shocking like: "ya gotta purdy mouth"?
@T-ShirtMagic lol i knew someone would catch it. Poor Ned Beaty haha
@@sheryldalton8965 Snuck-in movie theatre in 1972 at 12 years-old. Got to give Ned credit for taking that role. Same year Cosmopolitan magazine's *first* nude male centerfold which was none other than Burt Reynolds. Both were shocking at that time.
@T-ShirtMagic i was 18 then. I remember Burt's centerfold!! I confess i bought a copy of Playgirl to see it, just that once lol
@@sheryldalton8965 Both my older sisters owned copies of that Playgirl too 😊
This is a clip from the show "Hee Haw". It was a comedy show set in the country. With music and jokes.
Roy Clark and glen Cambell doing ghost riders in the sky on a program called Hee Haw. Exceptional and my favorite with both stars.
This is from the tv show Hee Haw. Very popular back in the 70’s. A country comedian variety show.
Two of the main artists were Roy Clark and Buck Owen’s. It was a very fun show to watch.
I really enjoyed this! Both of these guys were so talented. Love the humor & friendly rivalry that they show, each one trying to outdo the other.
We saw these two in the mid 70s at the NC State Fair in Raleigh. They are fantastic!
"Orange Blossom Special" with Roy on the fiddle and 12 yr old Jimmy Henley on the banjo is a must!!!!!
The actual song "Dueling Banjos" was made famous in the movie "Deliverance".
I remember being 9-10 yrs old and just first getting into music and asking for this song for Christmas...I got Dueling Bongos instead.
Sam needs to square dance :) Great video, love Roy Clark and Buck Trent is awesome as well. I remember the show "Hee Haw" as a kid. always comedy as well as great music.
Hello Sam and Phil. I recommend you also check out Dueling Banjos from the film Deliverance (1972). You'll love it.
Roy and Buck were great entertainers.One of the very best banjo players was Earl Scruggs,there is a great video of Earl Scruggs and friends playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown,I think you would enjoy seeing Earl and the many greats playing with him.

You should check out his fiddle playing on his live version of Orange Blossom Special from his album. Absolutely incredible
I was young when He Haw was on but remember watching with my dad and he loved it
Just beautiful. Seen that many times growing up as a kid in the 70s and early 80s from them and others. Amazing talent in every one of them.
The last segment they played was the traditional dueling banjos. The beginning was them having fun within the framework of dueling banjos.
So loved Hee Haw,(emphasis on the hee), watched every week while we still had a tv
thanks guys, great to see this one... I think this might have been from one of the Hew Haw episodes... lots of gingham in those episodes Sam... 🙂
ROY CLARK'S MALAGUENA WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
They have played that one.
This was an actual hit on the early 70's.
Yeah, did you hear those 3 missed notes? Me neither. Super fast with clean tone. Incredible.
Roy won a national banjo competition at ages 14 & 15, and was one of the greatest musicians ever. Buck was a masterful musician in his own right, and they both possessed excellent comic skills.
Just makes you smile. Great version of one of my favorite banjo diddies.
I worked for George Jones & his wife Nancy back in the 80's at their music park & dancehall here in my small SE Texas town where they lived at the time.

This is from Hee Haw, Buck Trent was a regular on the show. Great reaction.
Was he? I was very young, so may not remember. I just feel like people are confusing Buck Trent with Buck Owens. Buck Owens was Roy’s costar.
@dgpatter both were on Hee Haw, Buck Owens co-host for a long time, and Buck Trent was a regular.
These guys are way beyond great. This is literally a duel between the two banjos. The original tune "Dueling Banjos" was between a banjo & an acoustic guitar & was from the movie "Deliverance". It is for sure something you should check out. The movie itself is also well worth checking out.
"Dueling Banjos" was written for two banjos by Arthur Smith almost 20 years before the movie (in 1954, to be precise).
Having a second person on the show is necessary. The banter back and forth is like another layer of texture for us viewers, whether it's good, bad or ugly 😂
ROY CLARK FOLSOM PRISON BLUES THE BEST
Buck Trent was an absolute MONSTER on the banjo!!!
I still think country pickers or strummers do not get the recognition they deserve and never have. Glad you guys are giving them that recognition.
This song was from the movie “Deliverance” in which the “duel is between an acoustic guitar and a banjo; as it was, on the record.
Phil & Sam
Roy and Buck Trent here were part of country variety comedy show called Hee Haw. Roy's cohost was Buck Owens. They had had country artists of the past with some possible still living today.
You need to watch Roy Clark Yesterday when I was young great song
Roy Clark was a multi-talented musician who played many instruments including guitar, banjo and fiddle.
Roy can play anything with strings
This was from the show “Hee Haw” and back in the 70s and 80s there was not that much on tv on a Sunday so we would watch it mostly for the comedy and the girls but they also had some great performances. Their “Doom, Dispair, and Agony On Me” skit was awesome. You should check out an episode and see. Roy also did his version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison” with his guitar ad-libs that is great!
I would highly recommend "Fleurs du Mal" - Sarah Brightman (Live from Vienna Cathedral).
I am quite sure, that you will enjoy it! 😊
This scene was from the show HEE HAW late 60’s early 70’s with most of the country masters appearing, the song was a hit form the movie Deliverance
Roy Clark was one of very, very few people that have mastered many stringed instruments. The guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle or if you're fancy violin. He was also well know for his harmonica playing.

To answer your ? - Yes they are 😮
Eastbound and Down (Smoky and the Bandit theme song) by Jerry Read (RIP) has great Banjo moments in the song. A 100% Banger Driving Tune!!.
We watched Hee Haw as a family every week. I think a lot of people watched it but nobody wanted to admit it 😅Great reaction and Peace out guys ☮️ ✌️ 🙏
If you want to see an amazing clip of Roy Clark watch the 70s TV show clip of him playing guitar on The Odd Couple… you won’t believe it. It’s the closing segment of the episode.
Been a minute since I seen that ty
"Dueling Banjos" was derived from an older piece called "Dueling Guitars" and used in the movie Deliverance.
yes Hew Haw was a "guilty" pleasure back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. one character I liked was "olde Charlie Farquharson"
Concept of variety TV show *"Hee Haw"* (christian-country-right) was to be an alternative to variety TV show Rowan & Martin's *"Laugh-In"* (mod-hippy-left)

Roy Clark played more with Buck Owens than Buck Trent, especially with Owens a 'Hee-Haw' reg' with his Red, White, & Blue iconically patriotically striped guitar! 🇺🇸
Buck Owens 😊
@RockinMamaT Do you know 'bout Buck's big Country club in hometown Bakersfield, CA w: 50 ft. tall R,W,&B guitar leanin' on tower? 🤔🤞
That escalated quickly.
Great video. I have an anecdote for you. Several years ago, I read about an interview Jimi Hendrix waa doing. The interviewer asked Jimi how it feels to be the best guitarist in the world. Jimi's response? 'Don't ask me. Ask Roy Clark."
Roy Clark is the truth. Side notes; Steve Martin is an award winning banjo musician, won Grammys. My great grandfather on my mother’s side was also a banjoist, and had a wooden leg. As a joke/prank, he would tie meat to that leg, and let neighboring dogs go at it as he yelled.
Hee Haw was a great show.
This was on Hee Haw, Dueling Banjos was made famous by the movie Deliverance. You would Flat Foot to this music.
Look at his song "Yesterday When I Was Young"
Definitely check out Hee-Haw! I would recommend the corn field, empty arms hotel, and the gloom/despair/agony on me skits. Also try to find some grandpa jones bits or his playing the banjo to the song Good Ol' Mountain Dew (not the soda btw, LOL)
Nice!!!
This is featured in Deliverance. If you haven't seen the movie, you should.
Roy Clark was also a singer. "Yesterday When I Was Young" is beautiful, but for humor, go with "Thank God and Greyhound."
Roy could play anything with strings.
"Because..You just can't play a sad song on a Banjo"-- Steve Martin..
This was hee haw
Glen Campbell and Carl Jackson from 1973 outstanding also!
I'm sure you've heard of Steve Martin. Well, he has won multiple awards for his banjo playing. You may want to look his musical work up.
Another type of dancing that is popular with country music is square dancing. Square dancing has been around for centuries. It is a dance made up by any number of couples.

Just remember, the best duo was Roy Clark and Buck Owens. We saw that essentially weekly on episodes of _'Hee Haw'._ "I'm a pickin' and I'm a grinnin'"
Buck Trent was Porter Waggoner's electric banjo player.
So hee haw was a variety show from the 70s and 80s. They had a regular cast kind of like a hillbilly version of Saturday Night Live. You would have legendary country music acts as guests.
I'm an idiot. I thought it was Buck Owens and Roy Clark.

The comedian Steve Martin is also a great banjo player.
For a more modern take on the banjo check out Bela Fleck with or without his band, The Flecktones. Dude can get trance-y with it.
Steve Martin, the comedian, is a skilled banjo player and even has an album from the 70s.
If you want some bluegrass, check out Flatt & Scruggs or Bill Monroe. If you want another funny duel like this one, check out Jack Benny and Gisele MacKenzie on Getting to Know You (both on violin).
Legendary comedian Steve Martin is also a very talented banjo player.
Deliverance
Definitely need to checkout Hee-Haw.
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
This was on the Hee-Haw show.
Anyone interested Hee-Haw reruns are shown on RFD TV. Saturday at 9pm central. Might be other times as well not sure.
