Yep, I was proudly part of the Hee Haw generation. I loved watching that show as a kid and made no apologies for it. Would sing along and marvel at the amazing talents of Roy Clark. Sadly yesterday, Roy Clark, after leading a rich, full life, passed away. Twitter reacted:
When the Nashville floods wiped out most of my guitars, Roy heard about it & showed up at a show and gave me one of his. This is who this man was. Constantly giving. I owe him so much. Go say hi to my Papaw for me Roy. You left the world a much better place. #royclark pic.twitter.com/Aus1110BsU

I was saddened to hear the news that Roy Clark has passed away. His guitar and banjo picking was such an inspiration to me. #RIPRoyClark https://t.co/fP0a4vAfvb

We’re sorry to hear about the passing of Roy Clark. Roy Clark made best use of his incredible talent. He was both a showman and a virtuoso, with a love of music that beamed across air waves and into millions of living rooms, where families gathered to watch and listen. pic.twitter.com/FD8lYeejZR

For me, one of Roy Clark’s most amazing TV moments didn’t happen on Hee Haw. It happened on the Odd Couple
