I always thought that Jim was a very underrated talent. I am so thankful that I grew up in the prime of Campbell and Stafford and Clark. We were spoiled and didn’t know it.

I remember him. Guys like him and Roy don’t act like they’re special, while those who act special aren’t.

" While the other kids practiced football, I practiced guitar, and today I can kick that guitar 40 yards". Jim Stafford.

In my belief, Classical Gas is one of the best contemporary classical pieces ever written in modern history. What an entertainer.

Jim Stafford is an incredible guitarist who has never received the respect he deserves most likely because of his comedic approach to playing. But he's got the chops, and can hang with the best of them when he's being serious.

Mr Stafford is very alive and still makes people laugh in Branson Missouri

My kids' dad was a jazz guitarist who lead the band for Little Anthony and the Imperials in the early 70s. He said he jammed with Jim Stafford and people just didn't realize what a great player he was because of the jokes. He was really underrated. I loved the guy!

It's amazing how many of the older "country" type guys, are actually classically trained as well!! They don't make em like that anymore!!

I saw Jim Stafford perform at Six Flags Magic Mountain in the late 70's and I was blown away he played "Dixie and America the Beautiful at the exact same time on the same guitar, both songs at the same time it was amazing.

The "Jokers" always seem to be underrated. Jim Stafford, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed... All MASTERS at their craft. Thanks Fil, for yet another insightful analysis!

I was born in Defuniak springs Fl. I never thought to hear it mentioned in a Jim Stafford story. Thank you to all musicians for your gifts to humanity. Mr. Fil, it is so nice to hear the respect and decency you display. I am so sick of snarky, mean spirited people. You help restore some of my faith in humanity by your demeanor. Hee Haw to Zeppelin I have enjoyed it all. Keep playing and singing, it lifts our souls.
