    Roy Clark A big “Saa-lute” to the man best known for hosting the long-running variety show Hee Haw. Chapter 1 — 1:19 Introduction Announcer: The son of two amateur musicians, Roy Clark began playing banjo, guitar and mandolin at an early age. By the time he was 14, he was playing guitar behind his father at local dances. Within a few years, he had won two national banjo championships with his second win earning him an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry. In the 1970s, Roy symbolized country music in the U.S. and abroad, guest hosting for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and performing for packed houses on a tour in the Soviet Union that sold out all 18 concerts. He used his talent to bring country music into homes around the world. As one of the hosts of TV’s Hee Haw for more then 20 years, he picked and sang and offered country corn to 30 million people weekly. Among his many vocal hits are Yesterday When I Was Young and Thank God and Greyhound. Instrumentally, he has won awards for both guitar and banjo. He became an Oklahoman in 1974. Four years later an elementary school in the Union School District in Tulsa was named in his honor. Roy Clark was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009. Listen now to Roy tell his story, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors who believe in preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time on VoicesofOklahoma.com.

    Allison-Ellison Scottish Cousins 17 April 2010 and loving person but only someone who was close to him could comprehend the impact his parents decision had on his entire life. No matter how hard he tried he was not a happy person. It is true, Wiley took nothing from all his years of ranching, but instead he left it all to his wife and children to fight over until each of their deaths. Tragic decision to say the least. In 1952 Wiley was 80 years old and living in Waco, TX, but then moved back to Taylor, Williamson, TX by 1954. In 1956 Wiley and his son Waldo met for a reunion after they had estranged relationship for over seventeen years because of the Jemeyson ranch. Wiley lived alone in an old house at the edge of Taylor, Texas surrounded by all his books and inventions. He was a devout Southern Baptist and preached this way of life to his children and grandchildren. In spite of his being alone and separated from his loved ones he seemed to be a man at peace with himself. Wiley was 86 years old when he died of a stroke in Austin, Texas on 6 September 1958 and is buried in the Taylor Cemetery, Taylor, Williamson, Texas. Wiley Jameyson and Elsie May Deats were married on 22 Mar 1910 in Sherwood, Irion, Texas. Elsie May Deats was born on 7 Oct 1887 in Llano, Llano, Texas. She died on 31 May 1977 at the age of 89 in Graham, Young, Texas. She was buried on 3 Jun 1977 in May, Brown, Texas.
