Johnny laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Roy Clark's feet.🎻
Roy once visited a symphony orchestra and noted the presence of the cellos. The cellist obliged with a bit of noodling, then graciously offered to let him try it. He shrugged and gave it a go, playing as if he'd done it all his life---and it was his FIRST TIME! Afterwards, he could only say "Twarn't nuthin' but a big ol' fiddle!"
RIP, Roy. Miss ya.
Hee Haw was the greatest show in the history of television.
Henley was 10 years old when Roy Clark met him he was 12 at the time this performance took place. And Roy Clark worked with him for the next 25 years.
When Roy was bouncing the bow on the neck of his fiddle, that technique is called spiccato. It is SO cool! Roc Clark met Jimmy Henley at the New Mexico State Fair and invited Jimmy to be on Hee Haw. When Jimmy grew up he had a performing group called Jimmy Henley and a Touch of Grass. Definitely a child prodigy! He died in 2020 of throat cancer.
Thank you for sharing this backstory, even if sad.
I love to picture Roy Clark just ambling about the NM State Fair and eating a corn dog and pitching quarters and what not, listening to music. People must have been stunned to see him there.
Thank you, sometimes those who burn brightest feel they must accomplish all they can in quick step time. Should be such A great jam session when we get to heaven!
Merry Christmas all!
Shoji Tabuchi had a similar path. Japanese kid loved Bluegrass fiddle and Chet Aiken discovered him
Roy wanted to play an instrument when he was a little kid, and the neighbor had an old banjo he did not use anymore as he had a better one. He loaned this banjo to Roy to play around with. It only had 3 strings on it. With only 3 strings, Roy learned how to play that banjo, and when he could keep up with the neighbor his father decided it was time to buy him a proper banjo. Roy can play anything with strings, literally. Banjo, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, steel guitar, ukulele, violin, mandolin, and MORE. He was absolutely amazing. I am fortunate to have lived through most of his career.
Harp?
@@cortecz - I never saw him play one.....but I am sure if you gave him 10 minutes with one......
Roy could also play classical piano. He truly was unique.
The Orange Blossom Special is a train and this song is supposed to sound like a train going down the tracks and blowing its whistle. Roy was hugely talented, used to watch him all the time. ❤
This is actually a TV show called HEE HAW where Roy Clark was a regular, he could play anything with strings and sing but was also a bit of a comedian
Whenever you watch Roy play, no matter the venue or material, he just radiates pure joy all the time.
Roy Clark could play anything with strings.
And some things without strings.
He could play anything with “Strang’s”!
AND...Roy was hilarious in the Beverly Hillbillies television show and on Hee Haw. AND...he charted 50 times with his songs from 1963 to 1989. Just an amazing all around performer.
Both Jimmy and his dad James, playing the rhythm guitar, played in Roy's Band for a number of years.
Roy also played classical guitar. His performances of "Malagueña" are astounding!
Dunno if anyone else posted this, but the fiddle version of OBS is a MAX difficulty piece of violin music. That is to say, stack this up against any, ANY other piece of violin music and it is, at best, as difficult as OBS. It's when Roy really goes to whaling on his fiddle. It happens twice. The first time he's biting his tongue, which is out, in concentration. The second time, you can see him hard gritting his teeth. It's so, so hard be because you have to go from string, to double string, to different string, to double string over and over at a very quick tempo. The rest of the good parts are also in the very hard difficulty. Roy doesn't miss a note.
Roy is a candidate for best musician to ever live, and we are fortunate that he lived in modern times so that we have recordings to enjoy for as long as the internet survives, which could be thousands of years. 🤩
It's a fiddle!
@@pklbndt11fiddle and violin are the same instrument, the only difference being how it's played (sometimes bridge height, which is a personal preference to the one playing)
If I remember correctly Roy the National Banjo Campion two years in a roll in the late 40’s when he was 9 and 10 whether it was adult or junior I I’m not sure but it doesn’t matter because he could play anything with strings at the highest level and have fun.
When I was in the 11th and 12th grades (1976-77) I lived with relatives in Fox, Arkansas. Boys like this were abundant in school. They started from a young age and were GREAT by their teens. Fiddle, banjo, guitar, just about anything with strings.
The little boy's name is Jimmy Henley and, unfortunately, he died of cancer four years ago. What a great talent.
I don't think there are many out there today willing to put in the work it takes to be so proficient. It takes dedication & that's rare nowadays.
Roy Clark is the master all stringed instruments. The fact that he is letting this kid on up him is a mark on his character. It is said that Roy Clark is the master of anything thing with strings. He is the greatest and yet underestimated musicians and siners of all time. Not only does his materiality of all stringed instruments goes ignored, but his soulful voice goes ignored as well.
That is one of my favorite performances. I can never get enough of it. Jimmy Henley was incredible on the banjo, and you could see in Roy's face how happy he was giving this young kid his chance. Roy was the best guitarist I've ever seen, playing completely effortlessly, and he was always willing to share the stage with others.
Wow! I knew he played guitar like a boss, but I didn't know he mastered the fiddle, too. It was amazing! And that kid!!! I heard that banjo is very hard to learn but that kid was phenomenal.
Must watch “SLEEPY MAN BANJO BOYS”
All 3 are fantastic, but Jonny is really incredible ‼️‼️
📻🙂
James V. "Jimmy" Henley (September 2, 1963 - March 22, 2020) was an American banjo player who played bluegrass music. He won several banjo contests as a young boy. As a young boy he met country music star Roy Clark at the New Mexico State Fair and Clark invited him to perform on National television. Sadly, cancer claimed his life at the young age of 56.

Jimmie Henley performed the classic "Orange Blossom Special" on Hee Haw in 1975. He was just 12 years old.
Jimmy Henley also passed away in 2020 from, I believe., Throat cancer
I grew up watching Hee Haw. It’s wonderful seeing a new generation introduced to the talent that was Roy Clark. Bless your heart for sharing your exuberance and joy in these performances. 😉
ROY CLARK IS ACTUALLY A 4TH OR 5TH GENERATION COUSIN OF MINE AND HIS MUSIC AND EXPERT PRECISION VERSATILITY ON ANY STRINGED INSTRUMENT ALWAYS MADE ME SO PROUD A TRULY GREAT MUSICAL COMEDY ARTIST
BIG RED
This meant the whole world to me to see you do this song 🎵... I usto sit and listen to my grandfather play this on fiddle all the time sitting around the campfire... love you and your channel ❤️
Love Roy Clark Roy never minded giving credit to other artists. So many big the spotlight but Roy wasn't that way
When you watch him , The absolute joy he has when he is performing! He had talent that was to the next level! He really seemed like a great Person!
That joy is infectious and is what makes a great performer!
He played the small venue at Jackpot, Nevada once a year for several years. He was a mentor to young musicians, a comedian like no other, talent without end.
I asked him to sign a guitar for me after the show and he ran off several seconds of "Under the Double Eagle" complimented me for having such a nice guitar and signed the face. Great entertainer that thrilled any crowd and seemed genuinely thrilled to be there.
Brother that was awesome great reaction. Wow
My Pops LOVED this! I can't hear this and not see him enjoying it. Miss you Daddy. ❤
There’s a video of Roy, Glen Campbell playing Ghost Rider in the sky. It was also from He Haw, 2 masters, harmonizing on guitar, Glen used a really sweet 12 string.
riderS
Roy was great I love listening to him play any instrument but the little boy was something else loved the video 😆😁🎻🎸🎶
Your reactions are a hoot! Great fun and job! Roy Clark and Jimmy Henley are legends!❤❤❤❤
I took my six year old daughter to Branson Missouri in the early 90s to visit her grandmother. I had watched Roy, Clark and Buck Owens along with the rest of the Hee Haw cast on Sunday nights as a kid at grandparents. I decided to get us tickets to see Roy’s show, needless to say I learned that evening what a true guitar virtuoso Roy Clark was. We also saw Jim Stafford’s show while we were there. Stafford, like Clark and the great Jerry Reed sort of defined being shoved into a genre. Check out his songs Wild Wood Weed, Cow Patti, and Spiders and Snakes.
Roy Clark was on The Muppet Show. One of the musical numbers was Rocky Top. On it, he played 4 instruments well, and one badly. It's worth a look.
Yeah, but you can't count the trumpet - it didn't have strings - lmao.
One thing I always appreciated about Roy Clark is that he didn't have to dominate the spotlight. He was willing and often did share it with others. He had that showman's way of bringing out the best in others.
Roy was always happiest when showing off the child prodigies that he would find in his travels. Back then, any child that was into the string instruments, would idolize Roy Clark, Glenn Campbell or Chet Atkins.
As a little kid, Roy Clark was always my favorite on Hee Haw! LOL He was the very best musician ever born; BUT you haven't really experienced him until you react to Thank God and Greyhound. LOL
What a God Blessed Talent Roy Clark was! ♥️♥️♥️ RIP Angel! 😇
You gotta watch more of Roy Clark's stuff. He's fantastic!
Glad you "found" him! Good one Michael.
The craziest thing is, very few people reach a level close to virtuoso on a SINGLE instrument; Roy Clark could claim that on at least 3 that we know of, and likely claim better than above-average on many, many more. His fiddle playing, guitar playing and banjo playing were all 3 phenomenal. Next-level skill, and combine that with his humor and the funny things he came up with for skits on Hee-Haw... Truly a one of a kind talent.
I love your reaction to Roy Clark, pure joy.
Jimmy Henley was a character. Unfortunately we lost him tto cancer I believe. But he could sure stand up to Roy, huh? 12 y.o. at this time. What a kick!
If I remember right the boy playing the banjo was 12. I watched the show when it aired the first time. It was HeeHaw.
Jimmy was self taught. We saw this kind of stuff all the time on Hee Haw. Another good clip from Hee Haw is Grandpa Jones & his wife Ramona Jones. I think they played cow bells. It's been a while since I saw it.
The pure joy on Roy's face early on in this song is pure joy!
some people have a natural god given talent.....thata roy clark
In the south, we call it a fiddle, not a violin.
Roy Clark always had hilarious reactions to other musicians. Roy was the best, but he loved other talented people.
Check out his vocal hit, that he wrote and sang... "Yesterday When I Was Young". A rare Renaissance talent of the 20th Century...
That particular song was written by the great French musician Charles Aznavour, who died in his 90s in 2018. He was a melodic and lyrical genius, at the same level as Roy Clark was an instrumental genius. He is worth checking out.
Love seeing the amazement on Michaels face. Roy would say that it is a fiddle not a violin. The difference between the two is a violn has "strings", a fiddle of course has"strangs"
I think fiddle is much better anyway😊
I listened to Roy growing up, and he was one of the very best. Had a much older cousin (we called her aunt because of her age), and us kids would go upstairs to a room that was filled with instruments, at her house, and would pick a random one to take downstairs, every time we visited, to see if she could play it (she also had a piano on the main floor that she played). She played every single one, no matter if it was string, wind, or anything else. I remember riding with her to their farm at 100 miles an hour, and her yodeling as she drove. People like Roy Clark and her, were just plain gifted, and loved music so much, they couldn't help but play. RIP Roy Clark, and Wilhelmina Sophia Leusenkamp.
Love Roy Clark, always a favorite but I also LOVE Buddy Green doing Orange Blossom Special on harmonica.
There's a great version of this song with Roy and Johnny Cash. Roy's on the guitar and Cash sings and two-fists two harmonicas. Such consummate performers!
I sure do miss a good variety show on tv!
They are having way to much fun😅
The sheer joy of performing...
ROY CLARK WOULD NEVER LET ANYONE PLAY WITH HIM THAT WAS A FABULOUS PLAYER , HENLEY WAS ABOUT 11 OR 12 HERE , AND HIS PLAYING IS WORLD CLASS FOR ANY AGE . ROY WAS A SHOWMAN / COMEDIAN , BUT YOU CAN SEE THE DELIGHT IN HIS FACE WHEN HENLEY WAS TAKING THE LEAD . NEVER HEARD ANYONE PLAY A BANJO BREAK ON THE OBS AS GOOD AS THIS
I think you can always tell the best musicians by how they support young musicians.
Lot of musicians love seeing otjers doing things like this. I love watching other guitarists, banjo pickers, and mandolin players. They inspire me to try expanding my horizons on instruments.
Roy was a master at all stringed instruments
Jimmy Hendricks was once asked what it is like being the greatest guitar player in the world and Jimmy's said I don't know you will have to ask Roy Clark
I think you have Jimmy Hendricks confused with Jimi Hendrix.😁😂🤣
Not true, but it shouldve been true
@@javablanca547
If, as the commenter said, they asked Jimmy Hendricks, it could very well be true that Jimmy said that.
Now on the other hand, if they asked Jimi Hendrix, it would probably have been a completely different answer.
I’ve never even heard of this Jimmy Hendricks guy before.😁
@@Paladin70 same story with various names inserted has been circulating for decades. When someone provides audio, the dispute can be laid to rest. So go get that audio, or get off me.
Jimi did say on Dick Cavett that one of the people he was impressed with was Billy Gibbons! They did some shows together when they both had just gotten to California!
I was privileged to grow up watching Hee Haw. Some of their skits were probably a little risqué, but they went over all of us kids' heads while my parents and aunts and uncles would all be laughing.
Good memories, thank you.😊
I grew up on Gene Meade playing his guitar in so many fiddlers conventions and i learned to flat foot to this ❤
Nothing short of spectacular!
Such an amazing and awesome performances😮😮😮😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😅
Roy stole the show on The Odd Couple.
Time for another Roy Clark "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone"
Roy was the man.! The kid was awsome too.!
Spiccato bouncing bow on strings
One night after doing a show at the Denver Stock Show went to a hotel w/ a ballroom complete w/ an orchestra. An old friend of mine was there and said Roy was asked to play various instruments. My friend said Roy played the fire out strings, brass, woodwimds, flute drums, and even the harp. I doubt if there was a harmonica there but I have watched play that wonderfully as well.
All rhat and a wonderful and hilariously funny personality as well.
This is my favorite of all your reaction videos!
Thanks so much!!! 😃
That's good old wholesome entertainment. I really enjoyed it.
If you like gifted kids playing music, you should check out The Cotton Pickin' Kids. A family of six siblings that play incredible blue grass music, and they can sing too!!!
Also, The Biscut Eaters too.
Those kids are Awesome.......50 years ago Arthur Smith would have them on his show and have their own show!!!
Watching him and others on the Grand Ole Pry growing up in the 80's was an amazing gift that I will never forget. So many amazing comics and musicians.
Roy and Buck made fun
I love how Roy smiles when the kid takes off...
Hes definitely proud of that lil boy
Outstanding love it 😂😂
Mr. Clark was amazing!
I used to watch Hee Haw when i was little with my grandparents, other than the corny jokes, it wasnt my thing, But being ( too much) older now, the amount of talent that show had is amazing.
And they did this great performance without any naked dancers
It is a fiddle, not a violin. But you are right, he could play anything with strings
Gimme a hell yeah !!!
In Southern Appalachia, lots of kids play. They learn by porch picking with family and friends. Lots of kids play bluegrass where I live.
Roy Clark is cool - you should try some Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas is good.
Omg, I remember this episode of Hee Haw, I was about 10, my mom made me watch it. Lol
That kid is all grown up. Look him up.
I love your reactions. They are so genuine! I know you do a range of reactions and I would love to see your reaction of Secretariat winning the trip!e crown. It was truly a phenomenal event and I think you would get a kick out of it. It is so rare for a horse to win all three races and there is a video that shows Secretariat doing it that is just so amazing. It is like you are witnessing this timeless event as it happened. Truly inspirational.
it's called talent. something today's so called muscians wouldn't know if it bit them on the butt!
Country music is beyond classical, ask any musician that tried to play it. the skill and musicality needed, will feel like sprinting a marathon.
Roy was my fav,, on Hee Haw. The you fella , I believe is in his late 40's now.
I was getting ready to say they broke the mold after they made Roy, then the Mandrell sisters came to mind. They had similar musical abilities with both number of instruments they could play, singing ability, acting ability, and being really easy on the eyes at the same time.
Listen to the staccato notes again and think about the train. He is doing a moving train sound with them.
I loved your reactions and comments to Roy Clark " Orange Blossom Special"❤❤❤❤
Barbra Mandrel is another country singer who can play anything with strings. I did a search and Roy found Jimmy at the New Mexico stats fair and invited him to appear on TV with him (the clip you saw). He passed in 2020.
Roy could smoke anything with strings on it! Heck of a harmonica player also!
Is that a young Billy Strings on that there banjo!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had no idea the talent we were watching back then. I tell you what is interesting is to watch the motion in Roy's right hand no matter what he's playing That speed is a gift. Takes a special brain and body to be able to do that. You can't see the motion really, it's too fast. It's a blur.
