Sad news for us Hee Haw fans

Lulu Roman passed away Wednesday, age 78.


The Cornfield would not have been as much fun without her.

Aw man. I grew upon that show. Blue collar comedy before they had a label for it. She was as gifted as anyone on there.

Being from New York, I never thought of Hee-Haw as blue collar, more like dirt collar.   But for talent, Roy Clark was pretty darn good, as I recall.

Yeah - I had teacher grades 7-9; probably worst teacher I ever had (thought mockery & humiliation were fine pedagogical tools, almost as good as big wooden paddle), and definitely the creepiest (I seriously would not be at all surprised to learn he was a kiddie-diddler) - but he had one redeeming quality:  sometimes he would assign Hee Haw or Laugh-In as homework.

Talent?  Just one of the finest gitar pickers who ever lived - and a pretty decent comedic talent as well (a lot of funny in his early stuff).
