RIP - Roy Clark

[rtav]

I just learned that country virtuoso Roy Clark has passed away. As many of you know, Roy was an incredible musician and enormous talent.

What a loss.

RIP.

Dang.


(See what I did there?)

Seriously, that guy could play a mean guitar. While grinning. Incredible musician, and pretty funny to boot.

One of the best. What a loss. RIP, Roy.

A Monster Guitar Picker, and according to my friend Glen, one of the nicest guys who ever walked the line.

Watching him on Hee-Haw is what inspired me to buy a banjo. Never got within a light-year as good as he was.

So long Roy, you'll be missed.

Roy Clark was one of those guys that make you wonder why you even bother trying. He will be missed.

I'm hearing that this is a hoax... Roy Clark dead 2018 : Singer killed by celebrity death hoax - Mediamass

But yeah, I saw it all over FB and took it for granted it was true at first too.

On a more up note, the guy is a phenomenal musician * and I'm glad he's still with us.

* Edit: well now I'm seeing it reported all over that it is true. I was sad to think people would hoax a thing like this but now sad to learn that it's true. RIP

Some of my earliest musical memories are of Roy Clark picking. What a monster he was. Tremendous talent. Rest in peace, brother.

Fly on Roy. RIP.

I really liked that guy - Him and Glen Campbell were legends!

Roy was one of the beat guitar players I have ever heard. You had to get past his style & hee haw to understand how great he was.

 

[Dana R Gregory]

I remember watching Hee Haw back in the 70s and was always impressed with his incredible skills on guitar and banjo. He was definitely one of the Country Greats. RIP Roy.

Roy,

Your musicianship will always be respected and cherished.

I hope the RIP alert is bogus.

Edit....not a hoax
