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.

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.

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.
