    Luther Perkins on "Folsom Prison Blues", Don Rich on "Buckaroo", James Burton on "Working Man Blues".

    My Dad was a huge country fan (and a damn fine musician) and I grew up listening to Johnny, Buck, and Merle. The sounds of that era have left a lasting impression on me.

    I grew up watching Hee Haw and so Roy Clark and Buck Owens were the first guitar players I remember, along with Cash, Merle, Willie, and any other kind of honky-tonk.

    I remember this Roy Clark bit from when I was a kid. I saw it again recently showing DVDs to my kid and she enjoyed it as well. He's so damn talented it's ridiculous.
