R.I.P Glen Campbell

I am very much a classic Jazz fan and have been for years, but when I was in the Air Force during the Vietnam war his music was a comfort at times.  Wichita Lineman was/is a modern pop/country classic.   Thanks Glen.

One incredible career to say the least,  60 year's!,  rest in peace Glen Campbell 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎶🎶

Can you guess how old I am? I saw the Kingston Trio at the Hungry I in San Francisco and half way through their set they introduced their backup guitar player, Glenn Campbell.

When I was a youngster, my aunt and uncle had a charter jet business for entertainers. Glenn was one of their clients and friend. Kind of neat looking through family pictures and hearing the stories. And remember those great record collections, with some of the to be played records in those wood slots in the all in one consoles. As a kid you don't think about how cool that must have been to be in that generation.

Check out the interview with Alice Cooper on Glenn on Youtube. They and their families were very close and although different musically, they had lots in common - addiction, sobriety, golf, faith, both survivors in the music industry, and just great friends. Lots of insight to him as a person and his disease. Worth 10 minutes of your time. He was one of the great American artist. Several months ago a couple of my wives girlfriends came over -  one was once married to a member of a popular rock band, and  she also worked in the music industry - and  they wanted to hear my system. I played vinyl,  Court and Spark, then Glenn's greatest hits, (found an original pressing still sealed at local tecord store, cheap) After Witchita Lineman played she turned to me, tears welled up in her eyes and she said "that sounds wonderful...". That is Glenn Campell and that is what this hobby is all about.
