Aww, thanks Chick! I sure miss Roy Clark and Buck Owens! I miss being in Alabama going to all the Bluegrass and Appalachia music festivals all over the Southern states and listening to that level of Bluegrass and C&W music.

Folks don't realize what an IMMENSE talent Roy was. As a feller that's played the guitar (hobbyist) for many a year, watching this man practice his craft… be it the guitar, banjo or fiddle had oft left me staring in slack-jawed amazement. His sense of humor very often hid his brilliance as a musician and that he was so utterly humble about it made him even more enjoyable.Thanks for posting this!
