Remember the hosts of "Hee Haw" ? Probably not. It was sort of a country version of "Laugh-In".

Roy Clark and Buck Owens. Roy died today...

Where, oh where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love
But you loved another and, pfftt, you was gone!


Jimmy Dean fired Roy for habitual tardiness. Never trust a man who "smokes his own 'sausage'." ;)

RIP, Roy.

LOL...I was thinking of that song as well. :p Corny show, but hey...I laughed. Guilty as charged. :)

Funny mentioning Jimmy Dean. When he sold his company to the Sara Lee Corporation, they made sausage out of Jimmy Dean. Having fired him as the 30-year official spokesperson for the product that continues to bear his own name. o_O


Funny to recall how my grandparents were clueless about "Laugh-In". Yet they loved "Hee-Haw".

Now that song is stuck in my head.

Hee Haw was the kind of show that no one would admit they watched, but everyone did. I laughed, too. My brothers liked the babes in short shorts, and I occasionally catch my hubby watching the old reruns late at night. He likes country music.
 
I didn't know Sara Lee bought him out. I buy Jimmy Dean bulk sausage, the hot kind that comes in a plastic roll. Very tasty for breakfast patties.

They not only bought him out, but they booted him out.

I was never a country music fan, but I did like Bluegrass. Roy and Buck Trent at their best. Some real Americana happening here:


Only four strings on a banjo. Must be really easy to play, huh? Guess again. RIP Roy.

I'm the same - don't care for country music because it's so predictable and makes me want to howl like a dog. I can always anticipate the lyrics and music even if I have never heard the song. I do enjoy some Bluegrass pickin' and grinnin', though.

I think Roy played numerous instruments, all very well. Maybe a kind of musical genius in overalls.
 
I watched the show as a kid at my grandmas, and always watched the reruns when I got the RFD channel. I saw Roy on guitar doing some amazing work including 2 handed tapping. A good decade before Eddie Van Halen made it popular. I wonder if guys like Eddie were influenced by Roy.
