Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman

I'm not a big Glen Campbell fan but I've always liked this song. Performed live on the Smothers Brothers show.

I miss home....Kansas this song always reminds me of blue skies and gold wheat fields.

@kwaynesult Thanks. As for the Alzheimer's, I have a personal stake in this. 15 years ago this month, my uncle began displaying signs and was later diagnosed with it. But he is still hanging on, though.

@mkl62 my favorite song of all time

This hit by Glen Campbell was the 111th #1 song on what is now Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts. It also hit #1 on the Country & Western charts, on both the Canadian Top 40 and C&W charts, #3 on the Top 40 charts, and #7 in the United Kingdom. And lest we all forget, GC is battling Alzheimer's. Let's keep him in our prayers. I know that he is going to fight this with everything he has.
