      I've been playing since '74 or so. Its a total love affair. Seriously. Every time I get frustrated and put it down, not even 5 minutes later its back in my hands again. 😂

The diminutive Henley started playing banjo at the age of seven, his earliest performance being in his first-grade classroom in Hobbs, New Mexico. His first professional show followed imminently; he was paid $25."

      Thanks so much for sharing this. I was wondering what the kid must sound like by now! I thought he had to be Roy’s son or something to be that great so young. I always respected Roy Clark, grew up watching him but he wasn’t my particular taste in music as a youngster (I wanted Pink Floyd or something like that 😋) But then one time my mom’s friend had to back out of going to a Roy concert with her at the last minute, and imagine my saying I’d go because I felt badly she had no one to go with. I had never really paid attention to just what a phenomenal musician he was, seeing him more comedically…but it is still one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life. His performance of the Malagueña is etched like an imprint in my brain. ❤️🙏

    As a child I watched my papa smile and move his feet when Roy Clark on Hee Haw was on TV. I moved with my uncle Kermit from West VA, Montana and then with family to,Idaho, Washington, and back to California as I connected with country music , bluegrass, classic rock, and back to California as an adult for some jazz, soul, and many other genres. I remember my Spanish papa saying to me "Boy you are American and if you want to enjoy life you got to meet people and music is the one thing that connects us all" & " we may not all look like each other but when the chips are down we will defend each other with our lives"
    I am a richer man today because of that advice , No, money is not what I'm talking about. Most of our music goes back to its roots, country, blues, big band, classical, early Rick and roll , men like Earle Scruggs, Chuck Berry, Benny Goodman, among hundreds of others are American foundations.

    Some people are great musicians. Some people are great entertainers. Then there was Roy Clark who was the best of both worlds. He was in many tv shows as an actor, was a guest host for Johnny Carson, had a huge hit song as a singer, was a virtuoso on guitar & banjo & fiddle, and could play any style including country, bluegrass, pop, spanish style or even classical guitar. And best of all, he was my late mom's favorite, and brought her a lot of joy. RIP Roy🙏
