Glad you found it useful.

And also noted:  it's awfulyl easy to make fun of Hee-Haw (and by extension, its target audience).  As someone who grew up in Nashville, and saw Grandpa Jones play banjo (skillfully) at a free concert, who remembers the local news coverage of "String Bean" Akeman's murder, and who worked for a while as a teenager at the Opryland complex where Hee-Haw was filmed, I appreciate that you didn't.
