My Dad would laugh his kiester off at Hee Haw. Then fire up some of his rekkids and we would listen for hours. Good times!
A lot of Roy Clark in this.

I see Gailard Sartain in that image. I worked on a movie ("Spitfire Grill") with him. I remembered him from "Hee-Haw" and he told me several funny anecdotes about being on that show. Here's the best:
Junior Samples could not read when the show first went on the air, so he struggled with cue cards, trying to read his dialog. After a while, he learned how to read somewhat, so the crew would mess with him. They would write gibberish on the cue cards and Junior would still struggle to read them. Apparently there are loads of incidences where he can be seen staring at the cards/camera, all perplexed, that made it onto the final cut of the episodes, particularly the BR-549 skits.
For the entire first half of the 1970s, we only got ONE channel, our local CBS affiliate. So, we were used to watching whatever was on. I got a kick out of watching "Hee-Haw", totally unaware that it was country satire. I just thought it was a regular show, like "The Carol Burnett Show".
As for "The Lawrence Welk Show", there was something about that show that gave me the same feeling of dread one would get watching JFKs motorcade make it's way towards Dealy Plaza. To quote Pink Floyd: A "creeping malaise". HAHAHAHAHA

Hey, ol' Larry was hip before his time -- and an analog kinda guy.
Here he is, from the cover of Radio Electronics, spinnin' hot wax in his DeSoto.
Ahem. On topic. Roy Clark was a great entertainer and a great guitarist. At least for a while, he had a home near Annapolis, MD (if memory serves, which is less and less the case, all the time).

OMG..a fan of both Roy and the odd couple and never saw that episode. Just amazing and so sad to hear Roy has passed.
*****************************
Beat me to it. That performance really blew people away, and rightly so.
Roy was just a little more than your 'typical rube'
