@@grim_110I'm 30 years old and grew up watching these two with my grandpa on old re runs of hee haw and my grandpa was so surprised that I actually liked them because all kids listen to rap it seems like the sound and style blew me away
All good. There's not many Hee Haw performances on RU-vid barring the later years that are recorded with cameras or ones mainly focused on Roy Clark with String and GP mainly as side characters, so may as well have uploaded it.
Bobby Bare told a great story about Stringbean and his love for fishing. They were going to met and go fishing. They got the dock guess Bobby and his crew were still nursing hangovers. Bobby and the rest attempted to get in boat, somebody lost their balance, tripped and turn the boat over. Said Stringbean went out in the water picking up his gear. Once he finish he turned to everyone and said. Well fellows Maybe we'll do this again sometime. Its been yrs since I heard it. So story is close enough.
I think given the schedule of Hee Haw a lot of other stuff overlapt so his famous outfit was pretty much gone by the late 60s while HH was filmed so he was seen wearing them mostly. Think the oldest Stringbean outfit photo was 1967, so it disappeared sometime after that.
STRINGBEAN DID NOT HAVE TO DIE ! He could have turned, and left, and contacted the sheriff department, that would have confronted the home invaders, and took them into custody, instead he trusted in a Saturday night 6 shot 22 cal. pistol loaded with hollow points, but he was so scared he fired 4 shots into the floor at his feet out of extreme fear !
