    Even to this day I'm a huge fan of Hee Haw and it was one of my favorite shows when I was really young in the late 70s - early 80s. Lots of corny humor, great singing, and hot women. The dialogue and jokes had a feel of being "under rehearsed" and choppy, but it sailed very well with a large audience. Some were well known, such as Minnie Pearl (Grand Ole Opry legend), George Lindsay (Goober from Andy Griffith), and Gunilla Hutton (Petticoat Junction), and some were married to famous people, such as Marianne Gordon Rogers (married to Kenny Rogers) and Linda Thompson (once married to Bruce, now Caitlyn, Jenner). Some also posed for Playboy, such as Barbi Benton and Anne Randall. Roy Clark was certainly a very talented banjo picker and great singer as well. RIP my friend.

    The man was tremendously talented. My parents used to make me watch Hee-Haw if I wanted to watch TV at all as they had control of the television. And while I don't like country music and never really have, I appreciated his musical talent and the fact that he and Buck Owens were pickin and a grinin. The jokes were really corny and I used to want to look like Barbie Benton. Lol

    I grew up watching Hee Haw when I was little. I didn't know much about Roy Clark until I bought some LP albums at a swap meet, which included one of his albums. To say the very least, he was an extremely underrated musician. He was amazingly talented at both guitar and banjo, and he had a very unique voice. As soon as he opened his mouth, you never had to ask who that was singing. Anyone familiar with vintage country music would recognize his voice in seconds. Thanks for showing us his final resting place. Oklahoma is a lovely state. If I had to live in the midwest again, that's where I would go. Good video, as always.

    I had a chance to play guitar with Roy Clark and friends, after hours, in a old store (Gee's) in Meherrin Va. I thought the invite was a joke since I was new in the area and didn't go. The store owner heard me play before and had talked me up to Roy. Roy Clark had even hunted quail on my property before my family bought it, so he knew where I lived. Roy returned to his home in Meherrin on holidays. I never was invited to their get togethers afterwards. People around here are "funny" that way.

    Hee Haw was a formula that appealed to a country sense of humor and fans of country music. It was on during an era that just meshed perfectly with the demographics and rural background of a massive chunk of the US population at that time. It was almost a phenomenon. Anybody that was somebody in country music made a guest appearance on Hee Haw. Some appeared multiple times. My wife's 3rd or 4th cousin was Roy's bus driver for a time. Back when Roy was playing small venues, my in-laws got to meet him in their little Colorado town. You mentioned Wanda Jackson, She did a show in that same little Colorado town in the late 1990s. That was a fun memory. She was still reaching out to her audience as a semi retired entertainer after all those years. Many of these famous stars were as down to earth as your neighbor next door. They remembered their roots and fan base forever.

    Roy Clark's talent was in his ability to pick the guitar. He along with performers like Les Paul and Chet Atkins made guitar playing an art. So many have come along to strum electric guitars, pick a few chords on bass, bang drums, and scream lyrics into microphones or just scream into microphones and claim to be talented. Nope, Roy Clark along with those previously mentioned, were real talent the real deal.
