Blessings to the Campbell family. Really saddened to learn of the Alzheimers. Sending highest regards and affection to his family, who will need much support in coping with the effects of the disease on this beautifully talented soul.

Just a few years back i was watching some country music awards show where they purported to run down the top ten songs of all time. I just turned it on when they said they were doing number eight. I thought--this will be crap, kenny chesney or the great garth. what a laugh. instead glen campbell came out and played galveston. It surprised me so much i teared up. it was like an arrow in the chest. I ate my words. one of the greatest songs of the sixties bar none. a vietnam song.

I think a truly great testimony to Glen Campbells' amazing talents is that I have never heard any of his hits covered by anyone. I'm sure that some were but were never worthy of being played on radio. True, he did play his songs in duets with other greatly talented artists on his show or on their shows but I just have never heard his hits performed by anyone solo. His work's given us so much pleasure over so many years. Such talent one is only born with, and very, very rarely at that.

I think I saw that same show, Glenn came out and did "Galveston" live in front of all these young hotshots. I bet they were all taken back this legend, especially when he played the lead, it blew me away. To see how he still had that fire in his Guitar work. Don Rich was another favorite of mine...

Midnight Cowboy with John Voight and Dustin Hoffman. Voight played Joe Buck from Texas - Right? and Hoffman played Winko Rizzo from the Bronx or something like that - Right? Damn it, now I gotta see the movie! Anyway, Glenn Campbell started out a studio guitarist and later Superstar. An Incredible Guitar Master, Songwriter, and Singer. I remember his show in the '70's.

Glen kind of looks like John Voight in the film '" Mdnight Cowboy" here. Great song and live performance.
