RIP Roy Clark

A legend of country music passed on today. My Dad used to say that Roy Clark could play anything with strings, that he could put a rubber band on a shoe box and make it sound good. And by all accounts, he was a gentleman too. Here's one of my favorites by him:

And another one that better showcases his guitar wizardry:

WOW!!!! Another great gone.
And I believe your dad was very right, he was very talented.

Time to pull out the box set of Hee Haw...................some good memories there

amazing musician, who could pretend to be the fool...very self-deprecating man, given his abilities. I watched Ricky Skaggs last night and thought, "how can fingers move that fast and make music..." Feel the same way about Mr. Clark. We'll miss him! Stick with the video

Sad news.

One of the finest pickers ever. Boy could he play.

R.I.P. Roy

RIP Roy.

We all have to make that journey, someday.
Yeah boy, man was a string picking fool. Always kept me in stitches, watching him, and other great's, on Hee Haw.

Man. The guy was a musical genius. Glen Campbell a few months back. These guys/gals are not being replaced, I think?
Big loss. He was an actor and a musician and a friend. Above all, a fine man seemingly beyond reproach.
The mold was broken......

I hadn't heard but it is sad news indeed. Here's a clip that I've posted before to show that he wasn't just a 'country music player'.

Then there's this one, for those of you who remember Jimmy Dean before he was more famous for sausage:https://youtu.be/Ta4535Y8xYE

I always like Roy Clark. Notice that when he made those faces as he played the difficult parts, like this video, he looks alot like Benny Hill.
