I didn't care for country music as I was growing up, and only developed a taste for the older stuff later in life, but loved He Haw, go figure. I think what made He Haw work was everyone on the show whether a regular or a guest were playing for the shear love of music.

Roy Clark was the best, and I love fiddle and banjo. That young man is amazing with the banjo. Never a missed note, perfect! On a different note, have you analyzed Bruce Springsteen? One of his little known songs, "I Wish I Was Blind" a live performance on an album called "The Human Touch" is so emotional and I think one of his best. As an added treat, in the back ground_ you can hear the late, great Bobby Hatfield, of The Righteous Brothers, adding harmony. Icing on the cake. Not many greats would stay in the background. But Bruce, so full of emotion and pain... This is one of his best.

Something a lot of people may not know about Roy CLark is how incredibly generous he was to new talent. He was always helping up & coming musicians. He bought the rights to a song I wrote in the early 90's & let me keep 1/2 the publishing, AFTER paying me very well. That simply isn't done in the music business without a whole lot of lawyers, but he insisted. He took music very seriously, but never took himself too seriously; something we can all learn from. Farewell to not only a master musician, but to a true class act & beautiful human being. Rest In Peace. JR

Banjo playing was choppy...many many other better players: scruggs, crowe, thompson, keith, fleck, osborne, emerson, eldridge, vic jordan, steve martin, rudy lyle, chris warner. Loved Hee Haw, hated his version of Cripple Creek w/ Buck Owens in "I'm Pickin" "I'm Grinnin'". He would never had made it into Bill Monroe's band on banjo. Fiddle...maybe.

@garywood9525 5 лет назад

He also played the trumpet and piano but it was the banjo and guitar that triggered the switchin his brain because he mention that he could fabricate new sounds where the Piano was a fixed chromatic system to only make the sounds designed for it. The trumpet didn't let him sing and play at the same time. When Roy chose the stringed instruments and gave up on Boxing and Baseball.....his father warned him to be damn good at it because you have nothing to fall back on , he also said that if your good ...success will find you to rise to the top . When Hee-Haw came along....Studios spent million$ trying to get a top TV show and yet by the 3rd week of Hee Haw it shot up in the ratings with 20% market share to be tied with the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour having 20% . Roy had spoke about how Hee Haw was a hit nationally and even Elvis new the value for that level of exposure where he asked Roy to get him on the show .

@zulu0716 5 лет назад

I came here to learn more about Roy after seeing a mention of him on an Eddie Van Halen video I was watching. I’m old enough to know who Roy was but didn’t have a complete appreciation for his level of skills. After watching about 6 of these videos I can tell you that now I do. I played classical violin enough to know how hard it is to master and Roy has a mastery of the instrument. Fil hit on many points of his technical prowess but I’d like to add one. Roy’s a fiddler and one that distinguishes fiddling from classical is the heavy inclusion of 2-string harmonies played on the instrument. In this song he’s playing 2 strings for a good portion of it. Getting good tone from a violin involves your neck, shoulders and on downward to your fingertips. It’s not easy to learn to do on 1 string much less 2. Add to it that you’re trying to hit exact notes without frets or any other marking on the neck and you can why many can attest that the violin is not easy. Again, now do it with 2 strings playing 3rds, 4ths, and so on. This man was truly blessed by God to speak to us all with his unique gift. It seems his genuine love of life and other people was communicated by his incredible musical talents. Forever a fan! God bless him.

@ltkell2028 2 года назад

When Fil mentioned that Roy was a nice guy I can attest to that! My dad was a friend of his & when Roy was in town they'd catch up, talking fishing etc. My dad wasn't in the music industry, but an equally nice guy with similar personality. It's heartwarming to see Fil cover true artists as Roy & others are/were that are now being discovered by a new generation. It's so important to make sure that talent like this doesn't fade or forgotten. It's 1 of the reasons why I love this channel & share it with everyone I know!!

@vicalzip 5 лет назад

Small bit of lore here from someone who was alive during that time. In the first part of the clip, when Jimmy takes over, Clark hunches his head down and frowns in a specific way, then waggles his head and two fingers. He was aping/mocking Richard Nixon, aka, "I'm not a crook," as a joke commentary of Jimmy "stealing" the limelight from him. Everyone in the audience would have recognized that impersonation and gotten a laugh from it.

@RN-wn8qx 5 лет назад

I caught the Nixon, but wasn't sure what he was referring to. But you're right, that's a great kind of 70's inside joke that folks from that time would have picked up on immediately!

@@vicalzip No, Robin, u r not old. I GOT IT. Mr. CLark's Memorial service was last week here in my home area. HE was much loved here in the area because of what he did for others. THE event was televised (the cool English phrase 'the telly' -I recorded 4 later viewing). Mr. Vince Gill did sing 'Go Rest High On That Mountain'. Yeah, I cried. I got to see Roy play when I was a young lad in the early 70s. YES, Fil, Mama don't 'llow' no guitar pickin 'round' here. Funny how some memories stick with a soul (he played that an electric guitar as I recall). I did take some of the lessons to heart that he spoke about then - be kind, cheerful, helpful to others,yeah mom & dad did teach 2 . And yes, no good deed goes unpunished , also, 77 years ago on this day1 2/7/2018 was a terrible day. I also aqasay the following with utmost respect- a lot of brave 'Tommies' and English Lasses made the ultimate sacrifice in the 1940s. Blessed truly are the peacemakers, and many musicians tend 2 be that. And Robin, u ain't old, u still have a brain & have memories that can be shared with the younger folks. FIL, I'm a wannabe acoustic player, but sustained damage in my left hand years ago. I really don't know much about music, but I recognize top notch musicians when I hear them speak about their profession. I've long wondered why more musicians haven't gone insane. I've been telling a number of younger folks about your channel-' u think u know music? - check this dude out!!' Report back! P.S. I & my better half attempt to play in a handbell choir (5 years now). Wonderful SOUNDS- Those harmonic tones. Some bad bell choir humor for u (I actually heard this). A fellowette ringer once said at a practice session, 'where's the f&g bells?' The look on her face was priceless when she realized what she said and then said Oh my God. Peace all.

That's how the show worked. Roy and Buck were the core talent, but they never overshadowed the talent around them. Everyone shared the stage and certain players had audience followers. I personally loved Junior flubbing his lines and people getting whacked in the butt with that fence. Hee Haw was a great show.

Roy was good at feeling out the crowd and would ask what they wanted to hear and saw if they wanted banjo tunes and fiddles or guitar .

Thank you for playing this after his passing, he was in a class all his own. We miss you Roy 😘

Thank you for taking your time to honor a true legend. That was a very kind thing to do, both for Roy and his fans. You ROCK! R.I.P Roy Clark.

Roy is sooo humble, genuinly admiring other musicians. You see that every single performance from his first. this guy's for real. {being the best, he's got ntn to lose. lol}

Watching this, I think back to my childhood, when Hee Haw was a weekend tradition at our house. I'm not entirely sure why, as mom was never into country music and dad didn't seem to be. Although later, I learned that he had some interest in country music, but before I was born. I guess he was still into it a bit. He's passed, so I can't really ask him. But I just remember the show for being fun, silly, and very family friendly. What I realise now is that, being a kid, I had NO IDEA the level of musicianship on display every week. I had no appreciation for it, and I am rather certain that any musical piece was the point where I tuned out and played with toys or my dog or something. By the time I began to appreciate fine musicianship, I was pretty much purely focused on hard rock and prog, thanks to my devotion to Rush. No way would I have been listening to country music and I certainly didn't expect to find top-level musicians. Seeing your vids had really opened my eyes to something I have missed all my life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to drop a bunch of money on all country albums. However, I have so say I was quite wrong all this time and I'm just gobsmacked at how talented many of the folks were in this genre, especially Mr. Clark. Sorry that he has passed. Even when I had no clue how talented he was, I always liked his great fun personality!

Hey Mate! Knew Roy from Tulsa airport since I used to service his aircraft. You said it correct about Roy, he was one of the good guys. Cheers!

Roy Clark also had a wonderful singing voice. Very soft and very touching.

@robpayne9500 5 лет назад

I grew up watching many of these performances and never thought much of it(not really a country fan). Then when I started playing guitar I went back and rewatched and paid attention to Roy Clarke. Mind blown. This man was a true master and could keep up with or blow away anyone from any genre then or now. RIP Roy I pray your family during this time of grief. And thanks wop for sharing this mans talent with the others.

Hee Haw was an amazing show that showcased a cornucopia of talent. I feel spoiled now looking back. I'm grateful RU-vid as a platform makes it possible for younger generations to know the playing of those who inspired so many.

@jennhill8708 5 лет назад

Here, in the States, there's often sneering at country music. Yet, many of the very best guitar players, etc, played & continue to play in that genre. Look at Chet Atkins! Master guitarist. Roy Clark, Glen Campbell (WHO didn't read music!) Wow.

@KindCountsDeb3773 4 года назад

Yes, but I think it's changed a lot, respected more - thank goodness !

@ThomasRSkillman 3 года назад

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Ray Charles......all played country music.

@AEM-le7uy 3 года назад

We'd like to think that. Would like to think these guys inspired following generations to live up to the precedence they set. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Instead what happened is we see many absolute no talents pretending to play guitar with an embarrassingly absurd charade. While I am at it. Does anyone agree with me that Bad Company had only one good thing about them. Their name. An absolute façade and devoid of artistic ability. Maybe a rung above a nursery rhyme, and an advertising jiggle. Lame lyrics, lame vocals, lame composition, no originality, melodic mindless trash. I liked Roy Clark, Glen Campbell etc... I can't stand country music today. My cousin is Alison Krauss. I don't particularly care for blue grass, so don't ever listen to it. However, she at least has some talent.

@bcaye 3 года назад

@@AEM-le7uy, in a way I agree. A lot of current "country music stars" are just pop with a twang. But I can't agree with you about Bad Company. If nothing else, Paul Rodgers is such an amazing voice that he was chosen to replace the legendary Freddie Mercury as lead vocalist for Queen. Not to mention how many guys in the 70s got laid by playing 'Feel Like Making Love', lol.

Real musicians know quality, no matter the genre. Thank goodness for that.

@catherineerwin8269 3 года назад

Roy Clark was an excellent musician on so many levels. Not only instrumentally but also as a singer. His cover of Charles Aznavour’s Yesterday When I Was Young, was just beautiful.

@shanemccormick6072 5 лет назад

Our family would sit around the telly every Friday evening and watch him on Hee Haw they were so entertaining.. I've never ever heard anything negative about him quite the opposite everybody says he was such a kind and generous person and you nailed it right on the head he loved music and new Talent and I think playing with other talented people was probably more enjoyable to him then being in the spotlight. You should see some of his appearances on the grand old opera.

@bbell8144 5 лет назад

shane mccormick I agree with you 100%.

@PorgsLookTasty 5 лет назад

I'm late to this party, but I grew up watching Hee-Haw, and Roy Clark was always my favorite part. I remember being 5 years old, dancing around the living room like a spastic maniac whenever he played. He will be missed.

@robertsparkman8516 5 лет назад

I actually remember this (yikes!)! Pretty sure the guitarist on left is Jimmy's father. R.I.P. Roy, a guitar hero of mine long before I picked up a guitar at seven.

@barbaraalexander7246 5 лет назад

What a talent Roy Clark was! Just THE BEST string player there ever was, and there are many good players. As you implied Fil, Mr Clark was string playing MASTER and ULTIMATE PERFORMER, and I'm so happy that you super appreciate ALL that was this man. Thank You Fil for memorializing The Great Roy Clark! One of a kind, he was. Thanks for the music, the laughs, the joy that was You Roy, and for bringing the world HeeHaw! Oh what fun to be Jimmy and to have had the honor of playing alongside The Best there was. Rest In Peace Roy.🎸💝

After your analysis on Roy Clark today I've been rewatching others analysis you have done on Roy. Because this analysis was done as a tribute to Roy in light of his passing at that time. I love the respect you gave to Roy in this video. Gone but not forgotten by those of us who can appreciate the immense talent that was Roy Clark. 🎸🪕🎻🎤

@candicescott7176 5 лет назад

As a little kid living in East Tennessee, my dad was friends with one of his cohost from this show, Archie Campbell. He was a recording artist in the 60's, but was more a comedian on the show. I'd met the one on the show named Grandpa Jones a few times too, although this was all before Hee Haw.

I’m so sad. I know he’s gone, but he was a major influencer with me. Mom came and got me up and said come with me son, u have to watch and hear this man. I was hooked. He was multitalented/ “turkey in the straw”...I play banjo too. Love it.

RIP Roy Clark. Also, the song is called "Orange Blossom Special", and it's about a passenger train that ran from NY to Miami, carrying snowbirds south for the winter.

@edselman58 5 лет назад

I know I am a little late posting this,but I want to thank you for your remembering the late Roy Clark and sharing your thoughts and respect for him..Yes he was one of a kind with his own style of playing.His talent,showmanship,comedy and respect for up and coming talent shows what a true gentleman he really was.He loved what he did and it shows here while at the same time,has the audience at the edge of their seats! By the way,Roy's hometown, Meherrin,Va is about 45 miles from me.

@wayne-brock7515 5 лет назад

Thank you Fil for bringing up Roy Clark after him passing away. I've cried at the end, I have always loved Roy Clark and My Dad was the one that turned me on to him from Hee Haw. I say that Roy Clark and Buck Owens are in Heaven creating another good clean show for us to watch when it's our time to go, providing that if we make it into Heaven. Rest In Peace Roy Clark.

@melissa9375 Год назад

Jimmy was unbelievable, too, and the duo was fantastic. Thank you for featuring this on the occasion of Roy's passing. And thank you for mentioning the absolute joy on his face watching Jimmy, especially at the end. Most other performers would never perform with a child (or animal) for fear of being upstaged - Roy just revels in the kid's ability and it is evident. He made it all look too easy and too fun for the audience to always recognize they were in the presence of a master.

@39thala 5 лет назад

Roy plays one of the cleanest versions of Orange Blossom Special on a fiddle ever heard! And Jimmy is awesome on that banjo! Can see that train a comin' down the tracks! Also, lol at 1:54 The 'Nixon' face with the victory sign. Thanks for this great tribute to Roy Clark! I was smiling through the whole thing.

@OuterGalaxyLounge 5 лет назад

Sadly I'd not heard of Roy's passing, as I tend to stay out of the news loop. Your analysis of his genius does his life and work a great honor. The cool kids are coming late to Roy Clark, I'm afraid, because of his associations with conventional show business and shows like Hee Haw that were pretty corny. His musicianship, though, is beyond reproach. As always, you explain musical concepts with an understandable clarity that appeals to lay listeners like me who appreciate music but don't want to get bogged down into the overly technical. Bravo, again, sir!

@Huskeybear76 5 лет назад

I have watched him for years. Grand Ole Opera, Beverly Hill Billies, Hee Haw. You will be missed Roy.

@annemayseyfried8907 5 лет назад

R.I.P. Roy, this genius singer, actor, comedian, host, multi-instrumentalist was loved by everyone who ever met him..Saw him first in the movie "Matilda" & then learned more about him, that he was also a guest star on many early tv shows, besides "Hee Haw"? like "The Hillbillies", "The Odd Couple", etc! 😍
