I saw him as part of a Bob Hope charity show in the late seventies. Wasn't expecting much but he stole the whole show from an all-star cast of celebs! An amazing musician.
People like to scoff at Hee Haw....and it was hamhanded and corny...but it was also a huge hit. Roy was no small part of that. A really great host with tons of personality and talent.
as a general rule i cant stand country music but i will listen to Roy anytime man! i'll never forget his awesome guest apearance on the odd couple, blew me away as a kid and still does! and not that i needed much coaxing to watch the Hee Haw gals but having Roy on there was a big motivation to watch as well :)

A fave! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I've always like how it starts off as a tear-jerker and then in the middle kicks it up into a happy song.
Roy's awesome. A homeboy from near where i grew up in Va. Damn good guitar player.
Oh,man. *That's* real country music. Love it. Thanks

Bunched - He's an amazing guitar player. I've seen him in person a couple times...always entertaining.
Pagan - Real is the right word.
