As of this morning, the 85 year old master of several instruments besides the guitar has reportedly passed away. There is apparently some controversy as to the correctness of this report, but I'm going with the great majority of news outlets. (And it helps that Snopes also thinks it's true.)
Roy Clark passes on...

Now confirmed by the AP, USA Today and CNN, so definitely confirmed now.
Even if you didn't like C&W or "Hee Haw", he was a talented player. Much respect.

Much respect indeed for Mr. Clark. His talent was amazing. From any interviews I saw of him as a kid he seemed to be a genuinely nice person, and quite modest.
I always felt he was under-appreciated as a musician, possibly because of the light-hearted Hee Haw image. It would have been great to see him get the recognition he seemed to deserve (but it was possibly before my time enough that he did get it and I was not aware of it). I would have liked to see him branch out into other styles, and to see him live.
