Monday Music - Good-bye Glen

News of Glen Campbell's passing last week hit me a lot harder than I expected. When I started writing music back in the 70s, the combination of Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb was an inspiration to me. What a singer and guitar player, but even more, what an amazing ear the man had for recognizing a well-crafted song. Adios, Glen. You were really something special.

  1. That was beautiful. Linda Ronstadt did that song many years ago. I prefer Glen's version. My dad loved Glen Campbell so I would hear his songs and we would watch the Good time hour. Lots of memories.

  2. I recommend the documentary, "I'll Be Me". Kind of sad, as it documents Campbell's farewell tour in the midst of his increasing Alzheimer's, but also fascinating to experience his phenomenal musical talent that never faded.
