Yeehaw! Roy Clark and Buck Trent Reunite for a Ruckus 'Dueling Banjos'

Two adult male musicians playing banjos in a studio with farm-themed decorations, suggesting spring or summer season under bright and even lighting.

'Country's Family Reunion' with host Bill Anderson brought back the gang from the hit show 'Hee Haw.' The reunion of some of TV's most beloved actors and musicians was fun for all.

A musical performance set in an indoor barn-themed studio with greenery and rustic decor with a piano, banjos, microphones, sunflowers, and barrel-like structures.

The whole crew from the show 'Hee Haw' are sitting in rocking chairs in a circle sharing memories with host Bill Anderson. They start by singing the theme song of the show and clapping along.

Then, Bill smiles and introduces everyone. He leans over to Roy Clark and asks, "How many times have you heard that theme song?" Roy responds, "Not counting just now? I have not stopped to count, but it's the second most important thing that's ever happened in my life."

An older adult male singer in a dark suit with a white shirt and tie, holding a guitar; another older adult male in a red sweater vest over a collared shirt, possibly button-down or dress shirt, with a microphone; a third older adult male in a black and white striped long-sleeve shirt with collar, wearing a watch on the left wrist. Indoors, likely a stage or studio setup for a musical performance.

Bill asks what the first important thing is. Roy responds, "I can't remember," and everyone laughs. Bill gets to the main question and asks if Roy Clark and Buck Trent could reprise their fantastic dueling banjos rendition from the show. Roy says, "We probably could, but I don't know if I want to." The cast laughs at the banter.

They hand them each a banjo, and Roy and Buck start to strum and laugh. Roy starts on the classic tune with the single banjo intro, and Buck follows him. Then, they are off to the races, playing the spirited melody.

Three adult males are present: one wearing a red sweater over a white shirt, another in a black and white striped shirt, and the third in a red and black checkered shirt with denim overalls.

Roy and Buck share a few friendly looks, but they keep the song's soul by competing with one another for speed and accuracy. Everyone is clapping along and enjoying the moment as the two men entertain the audience.

'Hee Haw' was a very successful country music and humor show that ran from 1969 to 1971. It continued through syndication into the 90s, and reruns of the series are still broadcast. Roy Clark and Buck Trent continue to amaze audiences with their humor and musical skills.
