I never cared much for 'Hee-Haw'... kind of like Laff-In with bales of hay and cornpone... Buck Owens was like a parody of himself with that red-white and blue guitar and big hat.... regular Gordy Tapp had his own show in Canada in the 50s called Country Hoedown which had a good format and guests... he simply transplanted his alter-ego Cousin Clem to the Hee-Haw show later on....
anyhow I'll give credit to Marty for taking a run at it.... he knows a lot of quality artists, well-known or obscure, who will be happy to contribute... it's refreshing to enjoy something outside the mainstream pablum that Nashville is so adept at dishing out...
