Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell fir sharing the humorous music video of Roy Clark on fiddle & 12-year-old Jimmie Henley on Banjo performing the classic "Orange Blossom Special" on Hee Haw in 1975.
"Jimmy Henley shocked his dad and everybody else when he began playing the banjo at the age of 7. It was probably his winning the World Bluegrass Banjo Championship in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 10 that caught Roy Clark's attention, resulting in Roy employing Jimmy for more than 25 years. This is one of Jimmy's appearances on Hee Haw in which Roy pretends being threatened by Jimmy's skill."
Roy Linwood Clark was a very talented musician and entertainer.
Rest in peace Roy Linwood Clark who died on November 15, 2018.

Here is a follow-on appearance of now 17-year-old Jimmie Henley on Banjo with his dad playing guitar at right.
