Got to tell this story about Roy Clark. While working as his security at the Indiana State Fair, Roy was coming out of dressing room while stage announcer was shouting “and now ladies&gentlemen here is Roy Clark”. Roy stopped at a little girls wheelchair that we had placed so she could see Roy, but Roy stopped and talked to her while the announcer was continuing and Roy told me them people can wait while he was talking to the little girl. I cannot tell this story without crying although it occurred 45 years ago in 1978.

In 1977 I was living in Oxford, Ohio, attending Miami University. I was renting a room in a house from an old gentleman, Cliff Biltz. Cliff was retired, and as a hobby he built banjos from scratch. His banjos were in great demand, and late at night musicians who had played gigs in Cincinnati or Dayton would make the drive to try out and buy Cliff's banjos. I would hear them playing them downstairs. They all sounded very impressive. One night I heard somebody downstairs playing banjo that blew all those other banjo players away. I was tempted to sneak downstairs and peek around the corner to see who this fantastic musician was, but it was around 2 or 3 in the morning and I had an 8 o'clock class, so I reluctantly went back to sleep. The next day I asked Cliff, who WAS that? Cliff proudly said, that was Roy Clark. If you ever see video of Roy Clark on Hee Haw playing a banjo that says "Biltz" on the headstock, that's the same banjo.

What a lot of people don't understand is that most of the rockers looked up to guys like Roy, Glen Campbell, and a few more extremely talented guitar players. They would ask these guys to come into the studio and play guitar for so many songs. I grew up in the seventies and listened to so many of these guys. I wish the youth of today would understand that Country isn't a bad word. The thing that sucks about getting old is losing so much talent. So glad we have KZfaq to hold these memories to watch over and over.

Spent time with all us kids, just chatting about our animals and whatnot. Was just a regular, genuine guy. He used to play quite a lot of state and county fairs as well, and was always such a pleasure to watch live. Saw him several times as a teen, and even got an autograph once. He was still just as awesome to meet/chat with then. RIP to a truly prodigious talents and a fantastic human being.

I never knew Jack Klugman could sing! I watched a more recent video of Roy Clark, and he's showing his age--he forgets lyrics in the middle of a song, but by God he can still make a banjo & a fiddle talk! It will be a very sad day when Roy passes on. A very sad day, indeed.

I've seen Roy play in person twice, once in my friends studio. I saw him play rock stuff that would put most of those guys to shame... Just like Buddy Rich (my hero and reason I play drums) whom I've also heard live, he *can* play rock with the best, it's just "not their cup of tea." 😉

In 1985 I saw Roy, Jimmy Dean and Phil Harris perform in Linton, Indiana (hometown of Phil Harris. In the audience were Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan (first and last men on the moon). The show lasted 4 hours and nobody moved although 2 or 3 did pass out. I will never forget that night!!

Roy Clark is one of the reasons I used to watch HeeHaw back when it was on.

Thanks for showing this, gregorija.

I have a Roy Clark story to tell. Back in 1969 or 1970, I was a telephone operator for Ma Bell. I “met” Roy Clark over the phone when he was in in town (North Hollywood, CA) to play a gig at The Palomino Club, then the most famous Country/Western club on the West Coast. But you see? At this time, I didn’t like Country music. So to continue, this nice man called in from the Howard Johnson Hotel in Sherman Oaks. This was back in the dinosaur days when a guest had to go through the hotel switchboard operator who would connect them to a telephone company operator. Then we would place the call for the customer. Well, this nice man wanted to call all the managers of all the many Minnie Pearl Fried Chicken restaurants he owned. Then he told me, “I’m Roy Clark.” He said it like it was supposed to mean something to me. I had no idea who he was so I said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr Clark.” He put his hand over the receiver and whispered to someone in his room, “She doesn’t know who I AM!” He sounded surprised but not upset. He then said, “Do you like Country music?” I sneered and said, “I HATE it! All those TWANGY GUITARS!!!” He laughed and laughed but in a really sweet, lighthearted way. Then he told me about his gig but he was so modest that I thought he was just going to jam with some other better musicians! It was like he didn’t want to tell me he was the star. We got to talking and he invited me to his hotel so he could show me all the instruments he played. I took it the wrong way & he apologized & invited my husband to come with me. I was feeling shy & worried about my job so I turned him down! (To be continued)
