Wichita Lineman~Cover by David Scott Crawford

Music and words by Jimmy Webb.
I have been performing this song at various places over the years and it is one of my all time favorite songs. This morning, I happened to catch a video James Taylor performing this live in Stockridge, MA on 9/15/08 for Good Morning America. His cover version of this is great. A side note: I met Jimmy Webb who composed this song at a book signing a number of years ago, and he told me the song was inspired by a man working up on the power lines in Wichita while he was down there. (Like many, I used to think the song was about a railway man; not so.)
Anyway, I hope you like my version.

Wow! You are fantastic!! Usually when someone does a cover it really isn't all that!  However, I will say it once again truly fantastic!

At the risk of sounding like a big dork, Glen Cambell covered some gorgeous stuff. Unfortunately, like Elton, he might only be remembered for stuff like Rhinestone Cowboy. David, thanks for keeping this beautiful music alive!

Yeah, some of Glen's best cover versions were songs like "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston" written by the great songster Jimmy Webb. Thanks for the kind comment...
