Brilliant guitar player. Oddly enough grew up for the most part in New York City. RIP.

One of my favorite performers. An all round good guy.

Here's one of my favorite songs of his: Thank God and Greyhound.

BR-549 was Junior Samples’ line.

My favorite Roy Clark line: “Empty Arms Hotel!!”

Will be missed. Been twelve years since Buck Owens passed.

I saw a Hee-Haw clip featuring C.W. McCall. I think Roy Clark might have been in it. That was quite a show. Probably one of the best shows of all time.

I confess, I hated Hee Haw as a kid. I didn’t really appreciate these guys until much later on.
