This is another sad day for fans around the world. If you want to talk about talented..Right here my friends. This is a loss. I will never forget spending our Saturday evenings watching Hee Haw as a family. Thanks so much for the great memories and laughs, and great great musicianship you gave all of us. Rest In Peace Roy.

First Stan the Man' Lee, than Katherine MacGregor - the infamous Mrs. Olsen from Little House on the Prairie, was announced passing on this morning and then almost immediately afterwards Roy Clark left us. This has been a sad week for those of us who remember them with fondness, especially from the '70s when they were household names in one way or another. God go with them all. :(

Very sad news. For anyone who remembers his work on Hee Haw, and I'm not slighting that at all, I recommend looking for some videos of Clark playing guitar. Obviously, country/bluegrass was his favorite genre, but the man could play anything well. I mean, I defer to John Mack on this, but I think Clark could have been a hard rock guitarist if he wanted, or have excelled in any guitar genre for that matter. The man could shred, as they say.

I have been playing guitar for over 35 years. You are 100% correct. Roy could shread on guitar and if you haven’t seen it, go find a vid of him playing Orange Blossom Special on the fiddle. He could tear it up on there also. He could play anything, and he was great at it. A sad loss indeed.

Yes, and he also could play 'classical' violin as he did on The Odd Couple, plus banjo, mandolin, etc. A musical genius, really, and an incredible talent.

Always a very pleasant man and a brilliant musician on and away from Hee Haw. I remember from childhood. One of the good ones who will be missed as he moves on to the next journey.
