A Rap DJ is blown away by Roy Clark's skill on the guitar. He has since become a huge Roy Clark Fan.
Indicative of nothing except perhaps there is hope for this world after all.
Who peed in your Corn Flakes?
I love these videos. The expressions are priceless.
About a year ago I stumbled onto these “reaction videos’ And found them very interesting: young urban blacks being blown away by the stuff I listened to back in the mid ‘60’s. The first two I saw were reactions to the Righteous Brothers: ‘Unchained Melody’ and ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin’. Good music will always find an audience.
Its an interesting piece, the “Malagueña”
Its unclear where it came from, though the current version is by the Cuban Ernesto Lecuona. Its possible that it is an agglomeration of tunes heard among flamenco musicians in Andalucia, perhaps actually in Malaga.
When Lecuona put it down on paper (@1933) flamenco was in the process of being “discovered” as a respectable musical style.
Around then Garcia Lorca recorded his famous flamenco-style musical arrangements (”Canciones Antiguas”), including the the indubitably malaguense “Cafe de Chinitas”. And the Mexican pop singer Agustin Lara started composing his “Suite Espanola”, starting with the very famous “Granada” in 1932.
All these things have had a very long run since, becoming standards for the next 90 years. Its interesting to think they were all born at about the same moment, when for some reason so many ears were tuned to Andalucia.
yeah i hated country music too- still do kinda- i do like Appalachian mountain music though- The real stuff, not the country music infused stuff-
yeah but i think a lot of these folks are doing it for clicks and likes on youtube- There’s so many of those “So and so listens to metal for the first time” videos on there now that it just seems like a gimmick now to get views and likes-
I love it: Roy Clark - Malaguena
here’s one of Roy doing a flemenco (sp?) style- and a rocker analyses his playing- he seemed pretty impressed-

You are probably right, but they still can be fun.
I have always loved Roy Clark, especially Malageuna. I also loved the old man, Dick Dale King of surf guitar.
Roy Clark was a seriously talented guitarist/musician back in the golden age of entertainment- He could play serious pieces, but he liked to mix it up and play the pieces in a funny comedy routine way too that really showcased his talents- He was quite entertaining to watch- mesmerizing really - He’s known for Hee Haw- but he did so much more than that show- one of the truly great entertainer/performers
Wonder if this Einstein knew about Beethoven.
Geeze.
People who have even heard the name think of Roy Clark as a fat red-neck “deplorable”. They have never even listened to him or Glenn Campbell play their magic.
Oh, I thought he looked familiar - I remember him on Hee Haw when I was a kid. He is a talented musician.
Roy Clark played just about anything with strings plus the harmonica and mouth harp. His whole family was musically talented. After Roy got famous and paid off everyone’s mortgage they formed the Clark Family Band went all over the place playing old time country and hymns. The band is now an ensemble and still plays at mostly churches and religious functions.

Years ago, when I was just a young gal, I had the privilege of seeing Roy Clark play live at the Grand Ole Opry. I can’t remember who else was on stage that night, except maybe Minnie Pear. Plus, there was a young fellow who could really play the banjo and I really do not remember who that person was since I was about 12 or 13 years of age. However, it is the memory of Roy Clark playing live that I will carry with me forever! That man could get some amazing sounds out of an instrument!
When great guitar players are mentioned, this performance is one of the finest. Buckle up!

Yup. And if I may add Merle Travis for his style of playing as well.
