Remember the TV show Hee Haw?
That was my parents' favorite show in my youth. Wow did I hate it. My mother used to say C'mon, don't you want to watch Hee Haw? and I said No, I hate Hee Haw. This displeased her, but I didn't care. Many things I did displeased her. :~D
My Aunt's favorite show was Lawrence Welk. I didn't like that much either but at least they had the bubbles.

Of course I remember Hee Haw. When I was growing up, my parents' Saturday viewing included the Porter Wagoner Show, Buck Owens, the Happy Goodman Quartet, wrestling and bullfights (I don't know where they originated from). After a few years, Don Kirschner's Rock Concert and the Midnight Special started. Music has always been a part of my life (even on TV). Incidentally, I preferred the latter choices.

I envy you. I used to have an old cassette I recorded off the television of an episode of "In Concert" that had Focus, J. Geils, and Steely Dan on it. I listened to that thing for years, until all the carbon came off.

I have a tune with a fart section ("Smells Like Pork"). Of course, I blame Spike Jones.

I loved Hee-Haw .... used to watch it at my grandparents house every week !
Being from a farm community growing up, I loved the good clean country humor, especially the corn patch ... the girls with the blacked out teeth and Jr. Samples and BR-549 ... HA ! ... and Grandpa Jones was a hell of a good musician ...
My oldest sister lives in Bakersfield right close to where Buck Owens lived and he still preformed most every night at his "Crystal Palace" until close to the time of his death.

"Hee-Haw" had Roy Clark, one of the most talented multi-instrumentalists ever. I used to sit spellbound, watching him flash a big toothy grin at the camera, NEVER look at his instrument, and rip off blazing fast intricacies like he was brushing his teeth...made no difference if it was guitar, banjo, mandolin or fiddle, he was truly master of them all...
sheesh!
And IMO, one of the best country vocalists of that era. Great high range that reminded me of Roy Orbison.

Hee Haw...oh yes I enjoyed this show for its sheer absurdity in contrast to the music I preferred. Yes, definitely within this genre, a talented cast. I think I also watched Hee Haw at my grandparent's house.

While my preference is for R&R, it's difficult not to be impressed by the musicality of Roy Clark. He was one of the first musicians I ever saw who was so comfortable on so many different instruments. And you could always tell he was loving what he was doing.
