Man could play a guitar

In the last 6 months, I have come to appreciate his guitar playing skills. I grew up knowing who he was, mainly from Hee Haw, but didn’t realize how good he could pick.

Here with another top picker...



The man could play anything

 

[Junction John]

The man was a legend in guitar circles for sure.

Thanks for posting the vid with Roy and Glen Campbell. I always thought these two were outstanding pickers whose guitar playing sorta flew under the radar with the general public.

They man could no doubt do some "pickin' and grinnin'"

My dad was a self taught musician that could play almost any instrument. But he loved playing the guitar. His two biggest influences/heroes were Chet Atkins and Roy Clark.

Gone to join Buck Owens to do their picking and grinning in the great beyond.

Bump. Thanks, IMPP.

One less good ol’ boy and much more Florida Georgia line I’m afraid....

It seems that way right now. I'm sure our elders felt like Outlaw Country was an abomination in comparison.

Sturgill Simpson, Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, & others I can't recall, have found a large, dedicated audience; & it wasn't because they captured or mimicked the 90's Country Music boom. They've gone further back.

In short:

1) I blame Kenney Chesney & all of his copycats.
2) This too shall pass. Good music, regardless of genre, stands the test of time. ****** music, regardless of genre, only endures due to nostalgia.

Sing along guys...


Where o' where......are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone?.........................


Gloom, despair, and agony on me...............................



RIP Roy!!!!
