R.I.P Glen Campbell


Was never a fan, but always acknowledged him as a guitar player and original member of the "wrecking crew"

I thought "Witchita Lineman" was a great song.

My mother had dementia, so his passing is heart felt.

rar1- cool link.

Glen was typical of a rock or country guitar hotshot. Didn’t read music and would just have to hear one pass of a tune, then he was able to contribute to the piece.

Just about all the R&R gods-Beck,Page, Townsend,Richards...etc. don’t read music.
I never knew what a truly talented guitar player he was until I attended a Jimmy Webb show. He showed a film of Glenn playing MacArthur Park that blew my mind. I immediately downloaded it and a few other of my favorite Campbell songs I'd never collected. He was one a few artists that I should have bought back when; but never got around to. I am sad for his family and many, many friends.
Virtuoso guitarist (Gene Norman Group-Dylan Jazz) and perfect pitch voice (no software pitch correction needed), what's not to like?
