Roy Clark passed away earlier today

Sad to see that news & very much regret not having ever seen him in concert. When I was a kid, I thought of him as the goofy bumpkin that co-hosted Hee Haw. As I grew up, I came to realize that he was one of the best guitarists I'd ever see.

Growing up in Bakersfield, everyone watch Clark and Buck Owens on Hee Haw.

Very true. He never got the credit he deserved for being as great a guitarist.

If you watch the video I linked on YouTube, you'll see the first comment is from someone who was 5yo when he met Roy in 1956. He had a cheap plastic ukulele that was new...Roy walked over, tuned it for him, and played the cheap plastic ukulele.

If it had strings, he could play it.
