BTW the article is worth reading. Stuff I didn't know...

I wasn’t a country music fan by any means, but it was pretty easy to recognize he was very good at his craft with the banjo and guitar.

Oh, that's good...No, that's bad. That's real bad.

I remember his appearances on The Beverly Hillbillies more than any. Hee Haw was a little too corn for me most of the time.

He was a good entertainer, and a great guitarist. He became one with the guitar and packaged it that way.

That's not an easy thing to do.

You didn't like the Pee Little Thrigs?

Or BR-549, or "if it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all..."

What made it work is that everyone watching and everyone on the show knew it was completely corny, and just made fun of themselves and didn't care. Not saying I could watch it for a marathon 8 hour netflix session, but maybe I could.

Mostly I enjoy it now b/c of the nostalgia. Reminds me of being a kid watching at home. I like thinking about the simplicity of my childhood back in rural Kentucky. It's peaceful.

You nailed it. Great memories...at home with Mom and Dad. Wasn't too keen on Lawrence Welk, though. Would have preferred Get Smart.

I loved Archie.

I did watch Hee Haw but some of it I didn't find too funny. Of course Junior Samples was hilarious in making fun of himself. But I grew weary of the fat folks jokes, the dumb hick stuff, and fake laugh tracks after a few years.
String Bean and Grandpa Jones were awesome too. Lots of stories with those two.

What a hoot, fun music, what a novel concept.

He was not only a consummate musician but an entertainer. RIP Roy.
