[@claudiajenkinson7046]

That high action is what he learned on. Built him fingers of steel from an early age. He used very thick strings which gave him a unique tone. He basically took acoustic guitar playing and redefined it into a Strat sound which no one had done. His strumming hand is the key to his playing. Sublime and technical. Backwards sweeps and beautiful effortless strums.......He was so good.

Amen! Mr. Cark was one of a kind. I think he was one of the first 'pickers' that iI ever noticed, thank to Hee Haw. I was born in late 1964. He caught my attention early, a long with Jerry Reed, a few years later. Then I grew up and discovered The Eagles, Boston, and a few others. But, I never forgot about Roy Clark. He, and the others will always be my inspiration for playing, even though I'm a classic rocker at heart. Take It Easy was the first stone that I taught myself to play. I cant handle Roy's songs, even after years of playing.

Meeting him at the dock is a certain particularly-intimately-acquainted young lady-friend, a chorus-girl, ripely-Rubenesque but of decidedly plebeian origin. She greets him gushingly in the vulgar Brooklynese demotic: "Gee! It's bin so long, ain't it? Say, Sugar, youse must'a been blue wit'out me in 'em farrin' places!" The fellow shakes his head tolerantly, and -- ever-willing to mentor the worthy young -- patiently replies, "Tut-tut! 'Blown', my dear; the proper past-tense form is 'blown'."
