They had to be amazing to make it to sessions player. More Glen Campbell. More Roy Clarke, multi instrumental and great singer . Jerry Reed. Wrote songs and sung and played guitar. Chet Atkins.

There's one where he plays three string instruments one after the other - guitar, banjo, and fiddle. He was the co-host on a long-running country variety show called Hee-Haw. So in addition to being an accomplished musician, he was a great entertainer. Very funny, even when playing. He played "dueling banjos" once with another virtuoso (it's literally a musical duel) and his facial expressions were hilarious.

I saw Roy Clark in person not too long before he passed. He was a very large individual with a big frame and huge hands. Couldn't imagine how his huge fingers were able to dance along the fretboard of so many instruments like the mandolin including the small neck of the fiddle (violin)!! Roy really was an entertainer; in person he was just a humble man who knew his instruments and showed his love in his music!

I once caught Roy on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Roy came out and played something akin to Malaguena. I noticed that he was doing most of his fingering way down on the frets. After his piece he went over to sit with Johnny as was custom. There we learned that his E string had broken as the curtain was going up. So he had to transpose that entire song on the fly to account for not having his E string. At the time, I was not a real fan, but that showed me the mark of a true professional and incredible talent.

Hey Dave, I'm so glad you want to hear more songs from Roy Clark, I really enjoyed your reaction. So, I thought I'd suggest another one of his tunes, if interested. "Roy Clark - Good Ol' Boy Plays a Mean Guitar ~ Live (1976)" (by the channel: BringBack MyYesterday) --This video is from a 1976 television show called "Johnny Cash & Friends" the song was originally recorded by Donald Peers in 1949, but it was first composed in 1915 by Euday Bowman an American pianist and composer of "ragtime and blues." He represented a style of blues called the "Texas ragtime blues" and he's mostly remembered as the composer of this popular tune. Several well-known artists have played this standard throughout the years. And as always, I enjoyed spending time hanging out and rocking with you, Thanks for sharing. 🎶peace out~

The hardest piece I learned to play (a striped down beginner version). The song is named for the southern Spain region where Flamenco guitar music reigns. Classic guitar is a slightly lighter version, and the Spanish teachet Segovia was well known in my youth. One of his students married the Cuban band leader Xavier Cugat. She was quite the wildcat, and was a TV guest mostly for her irreverant behavior. None the less, check out Charo. She can play guitar very well.
