Roy Clark: Solo Guitar From An Episode Of "The Odd Couple", Of All Things

[Nitro Express]

He still can hit that crazy "Slim Whitman" high note. The kind of high note you let out when the sex is good.

I like the trollface version better. Just fits.



I remember reading about Don Rich in GP when I was a kid, though..

I was reading an interview with Marty Stuart...& he was singing Don's praise....then his name came up in a Vince Gill interview.....

I checked him out.....THE TELE tone of the 60's.................

Dude's a monster. There's a reason why on Hee Haw Roy was the one "pickin'", while Buck Owens just sat there "grinnin''. Just sayin'.

Buck left the "pickin" to Don Rich.....who was a TELE MASTER!

Don died in a motorcycle accident in the early 70's....Buck said his career died with DON.....so many of the Country pickers of today site DON RICH as a major influence







CLASSIC BAKERSFIELD SOUND

The Soviet Union version of Lawrence Welk. I bet the KGB put this to good use.

I got 3/4 thru that and then I knew suicide was trully the only answer........OH SHIT!!!...lol.

KGB plot to use music as a cold war weapon...that was creepy ...la la la oh oh oh e e e e that is the lyrics..oh the kill in that!!

Bond wouldn't be able to foil that plot of world domination!!!

P.S. I actually have some big brass and strings , bands,/ albums from the 40's Glen Miller type stuff it is awesome..Buddy Rich on drums... swing ..and Doris Day using the mic like a she tiger...great stuff. Don't tell anybody.

Being older and more mature, I can't deny the talent on Lawerence Welk, but to a young kid, the cheese production factor was scary as hell. It made me want to run and hide. The old people would drink their Geritol, get horny and peruse each other on the dance floor with the Lawrence Welk music playing. I didn't need any of that.



Horrifying just horrifying!

Yes is is way too layed back...

Think how hard it is for the Rolling Stones to stay together or other 4 or 5 piece rock and roll combos Welk and his type of a band had to keep 30 egos in check to get the gig played .....

and those old fooks on the dance floor made M'erica save from the nazis and rooled the world on the WW 2

lol...

Face it. We watched Hee Haw because of the Hee Haw Honey's. They had it all figured out. Some big names, good music, hot ass, and some jokes.

Yeah, it was horrifying. Still use the show here in Hell to torment people, in fact. But you can't deny there were some great moments of comedy on the Lawrence Welk show. Most of them not intended as such.....

[Nitro Express]

Roy tearing it up on Hee Haw. You have to love the dancing cartoon pigs in this one.

[Nitro Express]

Here's Roy ripping a Gibson Byrdland another one. You have to love the sequined suit the other guy is wearing. LOL! Dave probably would wear that.

Damn fine musicians in Welks orchestra also but the repeating sweet sugar HUGE HUGE smile while you sing thing got to me also.

I knew a old German guy here in KC he is passed now, but he played for the GI's ,accordian, as a 14 year old..
after the liberation of Berlin in WWII and immigrated to America after the war and joined the US Army served in Korea, as a musician and soldier, then played his accordian all his life in big bands all over the world, and played in Welks band for a while.

He was a real imigrant sucess story a was one of the most respected accordian players in the country.

The stories and people, you can learn about in a old drinking bar.

Talent is everywhere in the musical world country guitarists to fook'n orchestra accoridian players.

I think in it's heyday Hee Haw was the most profitable show on television. It was a dirt cheap show to produce but always pulled great ratings. That show ran for a long time.

Oh god. Lawrence Welk. We would have Sunday dinner at my grandmother's house and the adults would watch Lawrence Welk. I remember Lawrence was doing candid Geritol commercials on the show. I always wondered what that crap in the bottle was he was pitching. I couldn't stand it. It was time to get out of there.
