RIP Roy
I don't think Lawrence Welk's big band could deliver anything like that "Take the A Train"

I did not know Hee Haw was the replacement for the cancelled Smothers Brothers Show until I read this article by Roy Clark.

RIP, Roy. Roy has nicer things to say about Hee Haw than Buck.

Been reading about Roy in the 1950s after he moved from Va to Washington DC. He lived in southeast DC when it was mostly white. He began playing at DC and Md roadhouse bars that existed then. One of them, the Quonset Hut later became a go-go Funk club, but it’s now closed.

SALESGUY: Boy, my dad loved Roy Clark.
SALESLADY: Yeah, most white people did.
