Roy Clark Television Interview with Jon Hammond just before Roy appeared on the American Eagle Awards in Nashville Tennessee during Summer NAMM Show - Roy Clark an American Living Legend and long-time member of The Grand Ole Opry and The Country Music Hall of Fame - Roy's wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Clark
Roy Linwood Clark (born April 15, 1933) is an American country music musician and performer. He is best known for hosting Hee Haw, a nationally televised country variety show, from 1969 to 1992. Roy Clark has been an important and influential figure in country music, both as a performer and helping to popularize the genre.
During the 1970s, Clark frequently guest-hosted for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and enjoyed a 30-million viewership for Hee Haw. Clark is highly regarded and renowned as a guitarist and banjo player, and is also skilled on classical guitar and several other instruments. Although he has had hit songs as a pop vocalist (e.g., "Yesterday, When I Was Young" and "Thank God and Greyhound"), his instrumental skill has had an enormous effect on generations of bluegrass and country musicians. He has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry, since 1987[1][2] and The Country Music Hall of Fame. BIOGRAPHY: Born in Meherrin, Virginia, Clark lived as a teenager in southeast Washington, D.C., where his father worked at the Washington Navy Yard. At 14, Clark began playing banjo, guitar, and mandolin, and by age 15 he had already won two National Banjo Championships[3] and world banjo/guitar flatpick championships. He was simultaneously pursuing a sporting career, first as a baseball player and then as a boxer, before dedicating himself solely to music. At 17, he had his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.
At the age of 23, Clark obtained his pilot's license and then bought a 1953 Piper Tri-Pacer (N1132C), which he flew for many years. This plane was raffled off on December 17, 2012, to benefit the charity Wings of Hope.[4] He has owned other planes, including a Mitsubishi MU-2, Stearman PT-17[5] and Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond 1A bizjet.[6]
By 1955, he was a regular on Jimmy Dean's Washington, D.C., television program. Dean, who valued punctuality among musicians in his band, the Texas Wildcats, fired Clark for habitual tardiness, telling him, "You're the most talented person I've ever fired." Clark married Barbara Joyce Rupard on August 31, 1957.[7] In 1960, Clark went out to Las Vegas, where he worked as a guitarist in a band led by former West Coast Western Swing bandleader-comedian Hank Penny. During the very early 1960s, he was also prominent in the backing band for Wanda Jackson—known as the Party Timers—during the latter part of her rockabilly period.[8]
When Dean was tapped to host The Tonight Show in the early 1960s, he asked Clark to appear, introducing him to a national audience for the first time. Subsequently, Clark appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies as a recurring character (actually two: he played businessman Roy Halsey and Roy's mother, Myrtle). Once, on an episode of the Sunday evening Jackie Gleason Show dedicated to country music, Clark played a blistering rendition of "Down Home". Later, he appeared on an episode of The Odd Couple wherein he played "Malagueña".[9]
In 1963, Clark signed to Capitol Records and had three top ten hits. He switched to Dot Records and again scored hits. He later recorded for ABC Records, which had acquired Dot, and MCA Records, which absorbed the ABC label.
Clark as "Myrtle Halsey" on The Beverly Hillbillies, 1968.
In the mid '60s, he co-hosted, along with Buck Owens, a weekday daytime country variety series for NBC entitled "Swingin' Country", which was cancelled after two seasons. In 1969, Clark and Buck Owens were the hosts of Hee Haw. The show was dropped by CBS Television in 1971 but continued to run in syndication for twenty-one more years. During its tenure, Clark was a member of the Million Dollar Band and participated in a host of comedy sketches. In 1983, Clark opened the Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre in Branson, Missouri, becoming the first country music star to have his own venue there, thus beginning a trend which led to Branson becoming a center of live music performance, as it is today. Many of the celebrities who play in Branson first performed at the Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre.
Clark frequently played in Branson during the 1980s and 1990s. He has since sold the venue (now owned by the Hughes Brothers and renamed the Hughes American Family Theatre) and gone back to a fairly light touring schedule, which usually includes a performance with Ramona Jones and the Jones Family Band at their annual tribute to Clark's old Hee Haw co-star Grandpa Jones in Mountain View, Arkansas.[citation needed]
In addition to his musical skill, Clark has often displayed his talents as a comedian and actor. During his years on Hee Haw, Clark entertained with numerous comedy sketches, including a recurring feature where he played the clerk of the "Empty Arms Hotel". Clark released several albums of his comedic performances, to varying critical acclaim and commercial success. Clark is one of the few surviving regular male cast members from the show.[citation needed]
Clark has endorsed Mosrite, Gretsch, and many other brands of guitars during his career. He currently endorses Heritage Guitars, which makes a Roy Clark model. On August 22, 1987, Clark was made a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He plays an annual benefit concert at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, the proceeds of which go to fund scholarships for aspiring musicians.[citation needed]
For many years Clark has made his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Roy Clark Elementary School in Tulsa's Union School District was named in his honor in 1978. Fellow Oklahoma resident Mickey Mantle arranged for Clark to sing "Yesterday When I Was Young" at his funeral (which Clark did in 1995).[10]
On May 17, 2009, Clark was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame along with Barbara Mandrell and Charlie McCoy. On September 23, 2010, Clark sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch at Dodger Stadium in a game featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the San Diego Padres. On April 12, 2011, Clark was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He will be honored by the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame as Oklahoma's Music Ambassador for Children and will be presented with a commendation from Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin.

Mr. Hammond has toured worldwide since 1991 using the incredible Sk1 organ by Hammond Suzuki..™ “Classic Hammond Sound…In A Suitcase!” The Jon Hammond Show is a funky swinging instrumental revue, featuring top international soloists. The show has universal appeal. Big Hammond orgel sound – 100% organic
"Werden Sie im Jazzkeller wieder eine Hammond Orgel spielen?
Ja, sicher, das neueste Modell, eine Sk1, die exakt so klingt wie die legendäre B3. Ich liebe sie. Und sie wiegt nur noch sieben Kilo (Anm. des Autors: Das Original, ein echtes Möbel mit viel Holz, mussten immer zwei Menschen mit viel Muskelkraft die Treppen rauf und runter hieven), ein deutliches Indiz, dass wir in der Zukunft angekommen sind. Da stecken viele Jahre Forschung und Entwicklung drin, auch Bühnenerprobungen. Ich ziehe den Hut vor den Ingenieuren von Suzuki, ein unverwüstliches Instrument erschaffen zu haben. Und das unterziehe ich jetzt einen echten Härttest (lacht)."

FORBES "Sennheiser Takes the Long View When it Comes to Superior Sound"
*LINK: http://www.forbes.com/sites/bradauerbach/2016/09/23/sennheiser-takes-the-long-view-when-it-comes-to-superior-sound/#acb046070427
Brad Auerbach:
"Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
"Sennheiser has been at the apogee of the audio business for decades. When I was growing up, a pair of Sennheiser headphones was the aspiration of any knowledgeable audiophile. I recently had a chance to sit down with brothers Andreas and Daniel Sennheiser. They are the company’s co-CEOs; their grandfather founded the company 72 years ago.
The brothers grew up with high fidelity; audio and sound were always part of their youth. But it was oddly comforting that they shared the parental “turn down the volume” protestations as teenagers.
Both worked elsewhere before joining the family company. Andreas was trained as an engineer and Daniel spent time at Procter & Gamble. Marketing and design have become a larger initiative for the company.
Both executives collaborate across disciplines, and oversee the operation of 2800 employees. Production is based in Germany, with some in Ireland and Albuequerque.
The brothers described how the market has evolved over the decades, and with the rise of smartphones and portable players, the headphone market exploded. “Before it was sitting at home with your hi-fi and headphones. Now, headphones are about portability and fashion,” said Daniel. “Sound has come back as a primary concern for consumers, which is perfect timing for Sennheiser, which has stood for high fidelity for seven decades.”
Andreas pointed out that the MP3 format made it convenient for consumers to enjoy music beyond carrying cassettes or discs, and that is when the big headphone opportunity emerged.
We discussed the conundrum that an entire generation has grown up satisfied with various highly compressed audio formats, but now that full range fidelity is available Sennheiser is at the right place to meet consumer demand for superior fidelity.
The brothers walked me through Sennheiser’s initiative called Ambeo, a three-dimensional audio experience which captures the audio at creation (microphones) and mixing (blueprints for sound processing) and reproduction (speakers or headphones). The goal for Ambeo is to break down the perception barrier between reality and reproduction. “We want to generate the perfect illusion as if you were there at the concert or recording studio,” said Andreas.
Neil Young heard his music through Sennheiser’s industry standard HE1 and was amazed and annoyed that all the sonic information had been buried for years.
With twelve years of research in the field of immersive audio, the Sennheiser brothers are understandably confident that the rise of virtual reality and augmented reality presents a real need for the consumer. Sennheiser is, therefore, working with many VR/AR companies to ensure the audio aligns with the video, to avoid the sensory disconnect resulting in user discomfort.
Daniel refers to Ambeo as not only a quality signature of Sennheiser’s audio experience but also a brand feature with logo (think Dolby Digital or THX in the movie theatre). Consumer awareness of Ambeo is a goal, as the professional market has already embraced Ambeo. For the consumer, Sennhesier is establishing a retail presence at Oculus at the World Trade Center. As the Technical Partner to Westfield World Trade Center, Sennheiser will be opening the Soundscape, a new flagship showroom located in Oculus, New York’s newest retail location. Consumers can experience products like Ambeo and HE1, the hugely expensive headphones that Neil Young used to discover unheard elements in his music.
Andreas told me that “There was a time when convenience mattered and not sound quality, when what the headphone looked like and who was wearing it mattered, now the time has arrived when it all comes together. We have convenience, we have great looking products and it sounds great. No longer is it a compromise, the haptics and even the smell of leather and great sound quality and convenience are all finally available.”
Daniel echoed the sentiment, “The professionals all know Sennheiser, from Broadway productions to broadcast to recording studios, and we want to expose the consumer. We are launching a soundscape in the middle of the Oculus, for consumers to try some products. We are planning a pop-up shop in Soho in October, displaying our innovations over the decades.”
For my cross country flight, I was able to road test the new PXC 550, considered Sennheiser’s flagship travel headphone.
The out-of-the-box experience is very pleasurable. The unit is well packed and comes with a perfectly proportioned carrying case. The headset is remarkably lightweight considering the wealth of technology included. The Bluetooth connectivity is crisp, and the noise cancelling feature is nearly flawless. The supple leather ear cups make for comfortable use for many hours. The power switch is built-in to the design, such that placement back into the sturdy carrying case flips off the headphone’s power. Fortunately, a wired connection is available. I had just rediscovered my long lost iPod and was happy to enjoy my pre-Bluetooth playlists.
I happened on a delightful album by Strawbs called Acoustic Gold. I had not heard it in years, after playing it often upon my initial discovery years ago. I was delighted to hear nuances that escaped my scrutiny earlier. That experience became more frequent as I revisited old favorites. It was not quite my Neil Young moment, but the rediscovery of audio nuances was a delight.
As to Sennheiser’s strategy for distribution, their goals remain global. They remain cautious about where they are carried in retail; a strategy clearly followed by top-line products in other categories. Online has become an important sales channel for Sennheiser, especially in Asia where counterfeits pervade the entire consumer marketplace from drugs to batteries.
The brothers are very diplomatic about naming domestic retailers where they want to be carried, but they admit they are becoming more selective on where Sennheiser products are showcased.
We discussed the law of diminishing returns, which is a balance they always strike. Andreas referred to Formula One as a viable model, where the price of research is almost no object and the learning trickles down to other products. The aforementioned HE1 headphone costs $60,000.
For years it seemed to be a law of physics that a consumer had to choose between strong active noise cancelling or good sound. Sennheiser’s deep research proves it wrong, you can have both. Now they have added Bluetooth when for a long time you could have one or two features, but not these three. All three are available in the PXC 550.
For decades the company has been deeply involved in noise cancelling, from the time it was invented by Sennhesier in the ‘70s. “The last 10% was the toughest to overcome to achieve the perfection,” said Andreas.
Sennheiser was not willing to rest at 90%, and the freedom of being privately owned allowed them to invest for a decade to unlock the key to the last 10%.
“We are our own worst and best competitor,” said Daniel. “We are always aware of the limitations we uncover in our research. Just making great products and trusting people will find them is not enough anymore.” "

"Werden Sie im Jazzkeller wieder eine Hammond Orgel spielen?
Ja, sicher, das neueste Modell, eine Sk1, die exakt so klingt wie die legendäre B3. Ich liebe sie. Und sie wiegt nur noch sieben Kilo (Anm. des Autors: Das Original, ein echtes Möbel mit viel Holz, mussten immer zwei Menschen mit viel Muskelkraft die Treppen rauf und runter hieven), ein deutliches Indiz, dass wir in der Zukunft angekommen sind. Da stecken viele Jahre Forschung und Entwicklung drin, auch Bühnenerprobungen. Ich ziehe den Hut vor den Ingenieuren von Suzuki, ein unverwüstliches Instrument erschaffen zu haben. Und das unterziehe ich jetzt einen echten Härttest (lacht)."

FORBES "Sennheiser Takes the Long View When it Comes to Superior Sound"

Brad Auerbach:
"Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
"Sennheiser has been at the apogee of the audio business for decades. When I was growing up, a pair of Sennheiser headphones was the aspiration of any knowledgeable audiophile. I recently had a chance to sit down with brothers Andreas and Daniel Sennheiser. They are the company’s co-CEOs; their grandfather founded the company 72 years ago.
The brothers grew up with high fidelity; audio and sound were always part of their youth. But it was oddly comforting that they shared the parental “turn down the volume” protestations as teenagers.
Both worked elsewhere before joining the family company. Andreas was trained as an engineer and Daniel spent time at Procter & Gamble. Marketing and design have become a larger initiative for the company.
Both executives collaborate across disciplines, and oversee the operation of 2800 employees. Production is based in Germany, with some in Ireland and Albuequerque.
The brothers described how the market has evolved over the decades, and with the rise of smartphones and portable players, the headphone market exploded. “Before it was sitting at home with your hi-fi and headphones. Now, headphones are about portability and fashion,” said Daniel. “Sound has come back as a primary concern for consumers, which is perfect timing for Sennheiser, which has stood for high fidelity for seven decades.”
Andreas pointed out that the MP3 format made it convenient for consumers to enjoy music beyond carrying cassettes or discs, and that is when the big headphone opportunity emerged.
We discussed the conundrum that an entire generation has grown up satisfied with various highly compressed audio formats, but now that full range fidelity is available Sennheiser is at the right place to meet consumer demand for superior fidelity.
The brothers walked me through Sennheiser’s initiative called Ambeo, a three-dimensional audio experience which captures the audio at creation (microphones) and mixing (blueprints for sound processing) and reproduction (speakers or headphones). The goal for Ambeo is to break down the perception barrier between reality and reproduction. “We want to generate the perfect illusion as if you were there at the concert or recording studio,” said Andreas.
Neil Young heard his music through Sennheiser’s industry standard HE1 and was amazed and annoyed that all the sonic information had been buried for years.
With twelve years of research in the field of immersive audio, the Sennheiser brothers are understandably confident that the rise of virtual reality and augmented reality presents a real need for the consumer. Sennheiser is, therefore, working with many VR/AR companies to ensure the audio aligns with the video, to avoid the sensory disconnect resulting in user discomfort.
Daniel refers to Ambeo as not only a quality signature of Sennheiser’s audio experience but also a brand feature with logo (think Dolby Digital or THX in the movie theatre). Consumer awareness of Ambeo is a goal, as the professional market has already embraced Ambeo. For the consumer, Sennhesier is establishing a retail presence at Oculus at the World Trade Center. As the Technical Partner to Westfield World Trade Center, Sennheiser will be opening the Soundscape, a new flagship showroom located in Oculus, New York’s newest retail location. Consumers can experience products like Ambeo and HE1, the hugely expensive headphones that Neil Young used to discover unheard elements in his music.
Andreas told me that “There was a time when convenience mattered and not sound quality, when what the headphone looked like and who was wearing it mattered, now the time has arrived when it all comes together. We have convenience, we have great looking products and it sounds great. No longer is it a compromise, the haptics and even the smell of leather and great sound quality and convenience are all finally available.”
Daniel echoed the sentiment, “The professionals all know Sennheiser, from Broadway productions to broadcast to recording studios, and we want to expose the consumer. We are launching a soundscape in the middle of the Oculus, for consumers to try some products. We are planning a pop-up shop in Soho in October, displaying our innovations over the decades.”
For my cross country flight, I was able to road test the new PXC 550, considered Sennheiser’s flagship travel headphone.
The out-of-the-box experience is very pleasurable. The unit is well packed and comes with a perfectly proportioned carrying case. The headset is remarkably lightweight considering the wealth of technology included. The Bluetooth connectivity is crisp, and the noise cancelling feature is nearly flawless. The supple leather ear cups make for comfortable use for many hours. The power switch is built-in to the design, such that placement back into the sturdy carrying case flips off the headphone’s power. Fortunately, a wired connection is available. I had just rediscovered my long lost iPod and was happy to enjoy my pre-Bluetooth playlists.
I happened on a delightful album by Strawbs called Acoustic Gold. I had not heard it in years, after playing it often upon my initial discovery years ago. I was delighted to hear nuances that escaped my scrutiny earlier. That experience became more frequent as I revisited old favorites. It was not quite my Neil Young moment, but the rediscovery of audio nuances was a delight.
As to Sennheiser’s strategy for distribution, their goals remain global. They remain cautious about where they are carried in retail; a strategy clearly followed by top-line products in other categories. Online has become an important sales channel for Sennheiser, especially in Asia where counterfeits pervade the entire consumer marketplace from drugs to batteries.
The brothers are very diplomatic about naming domestic retailers where they want to be carried, but they admit they are becoming more selective on where Sennheiser products are showcased.
We discussed the law of diminishing returns, which is a balance they always strike. Andreas referred to Formula One as a viable model, where the price of research is almost no object and the learning trickles down to other products. The aforementioned HE1 headphone costs $60,000.
For years it seemed to be a law of physics that a consumer had to choose between strong active noise cancelling or good sound. Sennheiser’s deep research proves it wrong, you can have both. Now they have added Bluetooth when for a long time you could have one or two features, but not these three. All three are available in the PXC 550.
For decades the company has been deeply involved in noise cancelling, from the time it was invented by Sennhesier in the ‘70s. “The last 10% was the toughest to overcome to achieve the perfection,” said Andreas.
Sennheiser was not willing to rest at 90%, and the freedom of being privately owned allowed them to invest for a decade to unlock the key to the last 10%.
“We are our own worst and best competitor,” said Daniel. “We are always aware of the limitations we uncover in our research. Just making great products and trusting people will find them is not enough anymore.” "
