My Dad ,as a Veterinarian , used to do some work for Roy. Roy used to own some Hogs either in SE Kansas or western missouri, not sure , but they got to be good friends back in the 70's.

I always thought you were younger. How old are you?

old enough to watch hee haw after I got back from worlds of fun on select saturdays.

I think Roy Clark was an ancillary benefit to my Dad watching Hee-Haw when I grew up... He liked Roy, but he loved the halters and shorts more... RIP Roy.

The man was an exceptional guitar player. He has some great songs that didn't make it big but we're ear candy to guys that appreciate great technicians.

RIP

Yeah, I just went back and watched an old episode on YouTube...there were some VERY talented young ladies on that show.

And by talented, he means BIG AMERICAN BREASTS

Yesterday When I Was Young
 

RIP Roy. For the Younger crowd, the lyrics to this song can be your life when you are old looking back someday!

It seems the love I've known
Has always been the most destructive kind
I guess that's why now
I feel so old
Before my time

Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away

Yesterday, when I was young
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for
Yesterday, when I was young

Technically, he wasn't a picker. He was a grinner.

Holy **** that's depressing. :(

Fantastic talent. RIP Roy.

He was 85. My old man is 88. I always thought of Roy older than him.

IDK who Dragonforce is but he is arguably one of the top 50 guitar players ever.

He wasn't inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame until 2009. How the hell is that possible?
