I got to see him twice. Once in 1979 and again a couple of years ago.

My favourite from Jerry is 1967’s “The Claw” and I did not hear that tune until the “Willie’s Roadhouse” satellite radio station began playing it frequently (as that station plays classic country music).

Just over a year ago we lost Glen Campbell (Aug.2017) and now Roy Clark. I group them because they both could play ANY genre, play up one side and down the other and do it all with a smile! Gracious human beings and now they are with God. RIP and God's blessings on the ones left behind to mourn.
Here is a Youtube clip of the two of them playing "Ghost Riders" and sure looks like they were having FUN!

[[I confess, I hated Hee Haw as a kid. I didn’t really appreciate these guys until much later on.]]
You and me both- had to watch it at grandma’s house all the time- hated it- but looking back at the show now, I see i didn’t appreciate great music playing at the time-

Roy Clark could shred a guitar, banjo, and just about anything else. Lots of video on the interwebz to show just how good he was.

Another great American disappears into eternity. Clark was an incredible guitarist. I guess he and Buck Owens are together again, “pickin’ and a grinnin’”

He could play anything with strings on it.
Seen a Les Paul special with Roy Clark and some other great pickers. One of the best.
