Roy is playin' a 12 string Ovation Breadwinner. I can remember the Hew Haw days sitting in the family room watching the adults laugh. RIP Roy.

Could Jimmy Page do that? I don’t think so.

You can tell from the number of posts on this thread that Roy was something special.

It ‘looks’ like the camera was speeded up. But it wasn’t.

Also won the banjo championship twice by the time he was 15.
I saw him live in Las Vegas (and real good seats).
What an entertainer.

Livin on Tulsa time. RIP

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

I wasn't fond of it, but yeah, I appreciated it more, later on.

I have that album. "Neck and Neck". The byplay between them is really kinda funny.

“My favorite Roy clip

Roy Clark - Malaguena (The Odd Couple)

Roy Clark was not only a great guitarist but he was also a first class individual. During the mid 70’s, while going to school, I tended bar at a Mexican Restaurant across the street from the Burbank Studios. Roy would frequently come in to the Restaurant to dine and when he walked through the front door I would play Malaguena on the Juke Box and turn it way up. He would always smile, stop by the bar and briefly chat.
