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.

The string section is so fitting, and appropriate for the story. I typically find orchestra backed stuff corny. The rest of the album...? well, it’s just not my cup of tea.

Glen was first and foremost an A list guitarist. As a HACK guitar playinhg enthusiast for many years, I’ve always been hip to Glen’s fine playing. I am currently bin diving for a couple of now "rare" mono instrumentals Glen did: "The Astounding 12 String Guitar of Glen Campbell" "The Big Bad Rock Guitar of Glen Campbell"

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.
