A very talented man. Happily, he was loved and appreciated in his time.

I never cared for country music, but my dad was a big fan of 'old country'. We grew up watching Hee Haw, a show I loved despite the music I really didn't care for. Roy was one of my favorites on the show. And honestly, until I heard he passed away, I didn't realize he was still around. Same age as my FIL.

RIP Roy. "Where, Where, are you tonight?" I'm guessing hanging with your buddies up in heaven.

He was one hell of a guitar player........

Now you can imagine that in music heaven tonight, Roy and Glenn pull up a couple stools and start jamming and up walks Hughie Thomason and Chet Atkins and ask if they can sit in.

He was one of the very, very best. And like many of his old school peers was also a stunning ace on mandolin, fiddle, bass, banjo, and whatever else he picked up. They don't make 'em like Roy anymore. RIP.

Grew up with 60"s country music. What is labeled "country" now makes me cringe.
Went the Skynard route also, and SRV. To bad the good ones came to an end with aircraft crashes.

True that, the good old days of RnR are gone but the vinyl I amassed is my retirement...
When I was in the Army, a room mate told me that his mother was one of the ER nurses that cared for them that night.

I grew up watching Hee Haw. Roy Clark was awesome. The guests he had were always awesome. The Hee Haw girls were well, schwing. That was an era when country was still country. I don't know what this top 40 pop cr@p is today. Give me some Moe & Joe or Bobby Bare. It just seems wrong that country music needs a bookface page.
RIP RC.
As for the rest of you, get off my covfefe lawn.

For your listening pleasure...

Wow!

I know, right. Dude's a machine.
