Mr Clark's birthplace isn't far from where I live, used to travel through Merherrin, Va, on my way to Richmond,Va .
Very talented fellow.

They used to have something called "Keysville Day". A special train would go from Richmond to Keysville (very near Merherrin) for a big celebration there. The last one they had, Roy Clark was on the train and I got to have a long talk with him. He's a very bright and funny guy as well being a great artist.
I'll bet you a silk pajama that we're the only two forum members who have ever been to Merherrin VA.

Probably so, I used to ramble around in that area a few years ago, good for you meeting Mr Clark, reinforces what I have heard about him, a very polite, down to earth person.
I am about 65 miles west of Merherrin.

I think the cap is covering up the time Roy's hair plugs were settling in.
