Roy’s generosity in sharing the stage with a child and allowing him to shine, was completely lovable. He was obviously confident and secure in his own skin.

Isn't that the same kid who grew up and still kept playing banjo on the show as an adult for years? I feel bad but I forgot his name. I think there's a later video of them playing dueling banjos

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.

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 жыл бұрын

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!!

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 жыл бұрын

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 .

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

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.

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 .

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.

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?'

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.

My grandparents lived in a very small railroad town in Virginia when I was young (70s or so). A man named Bob Shod (sp??) lived directly behind them. Once when we were visiting, a couple of men came to Grandmothers parlor to play music. It was Mr. Shod from behind her and HIS friend, Roy Clark. They played for us in my Grandmother's pink parlor. (Smile)

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.

Thanks Fil for highlighting Roy again. What a true gentleman Roy was. I remember him from my youth on Hee Haw also and didn’t truly appreciate him until I was an adult. I wish I had the honor to have seen him perform in person.

Fil - what a roller coaster I was just on. Seeing this great video, having childhood memories of watching Hew Haw and Roy and gang as a kid. Even at a very young age it was obvious what a talented guy. I don't remember 'Jimmy', but loved watching him in this video. I just had to search for who he was. A prodigy at 7 or so, he played with Roy for many many years. How said to see Jimmy just passed away in March from cancer. #RIP Roy/Jimmy...

When I was a kid in the sixties, I saw Roy several times on a Nashville television program called, The Noon Show. One time he played slide guitar using a coffee cup. I remember he had a goofy look on his face while he played, but oh my, my jaw was agape at the music that he made. God blessed him. RIP Roy. Truly a master.

You're a class act, Fil. Thanks for honoring a true American legend. Every week, we seem to lose another legend. Whether it's rock, blues, or country. There's not a lot of people left in the old country world. And so many rock bands are gone. I'm just glad to say I was around these last 55 years and was able to see so many legends perform who are now gone. In ten years from now, not going to be a pretty picture. If the future of Rock is Foo Fighters and Greta Van Fleet, were screwed. Hopefully Dwight Yoakam, Alan Jackson, and George Strait will still be around as well to keep real country alive. Sorry folks, the future is looking kind of dim.

Ernest T. Bass Agreed! So thankful to have grown up in a time when people could sing without having to be auto tuned and where musicians took pride in their craft and enjoyed the music. Like you said, if today’s “bands” are it...well...🤦🏻‍♀️

@augustineriley5582 5 жыл бұрын

Ernest, I hear you man, but as you say, we still have guys like Dwight and Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, and the whole Bluegrass scene is on fire too, Kris Kristofferson said not too along ago re "the death of country" - I've been hearing that all my life, but its still alive and well! Peace.

Fil, that's why I've always been amazed at violin and fiddle players.... there are no frets! I am in awe of their ability to find those notes on that big blank space. Oh I would have loved to have heard a duet by Roy and Alison Krauss... man would that have been incredible!!
