G W Wade Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Impressive! Makes you wonder how fast could he run a '73 Win. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I respect Roy Clark's talent and musicianship, but he always seemed to play as though he had a personal grudge against the instrument, like here. I've also always thought the song more appropriately played by finger picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why the person put the flickering oval on it, very distracting. Charo is amazing. For all her "dumb blond" act, she is quite intelligent and talented. Studied under Andre' Segovia, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studied under Andre' Segovia, I believe. I've seen footage of Roy Clark playing banjo very adroitly, and of him playing a fiddle like he was trying to saw it in half. I'm not sure why it was for him. Like I said, I respect the talent he had. As for Charo, it is also my understanding she studied under Segovia, and that she is smart and took the "dumb blonde" bit all the way to the bank as well.

I think a lot of that depended on his audience or the role he was in. Here is a Rolling Stone article with several clips of him. The 3 instrument medley is interesting. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/roy-clark-great-live-performances-757075/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
