Jimmy is probably most famous for “MacArthur’s Park” that was recorded by Richard Harris.
...
And played many times by Campbell during his live shows.

In the late 60’s to early 70’s, my wife (literally, the-girl-next-door) were a couple of kids from SW Ohio living in Hollywood.
We were so poor that for entertainment we would walk Sunset and Hollywood Blvds and just watch the “show”. Always loved going up into the hills of Griffith Park, “drive west on Sunset to the sea” and Vegas.
Sadly, the only show we saw was Jerry Lewis at the Hollywood Bowl - no idea how we got tickets but more than likely someone gave them to us.
It was a far nicer place back then...now it’s a commie & sodomite hellhole.

Yes, he can play. Usually anyone who worked as a studio musician, as he did, can play very well. I’ve also read that he mostly plays by ear, having difficulty reading sheet music.

He is very brave to face down his disease as he has!

He is very brave.
Now the Left would tell you that "Caitlyn" is also brave...

I was going through Field Med School at Camp Pendleton when "Galveston" hit the airwaves. That song resonated strongly with me - I was several weeks shy of deployment to 'Nam and had left behind a young woman who was dear to me.
"Galveston oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your seabirds flying in the sun
At Galveston at Galveston"
In my callow youth, I thought the worst thing that could happen to me was to die young. Obviously, I made it home - did not marry the young woman, who found someone else. But I still remember "Galveston" - a song that captured my mood on the eve of battle over four decades ago.
I wish Glen Campbell well.
"Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre / mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
"Thought must be the harder, heart be the keener / mind must be the greater, as our might lessens."

I really loved his music back in the day. The guy could really play the guitar. I recall buying this album back then.

In fact, here is the link to that entire concert in Sioux Falls. It really was an amazing show he put on.

A great song. Campbell was/is a fantastic artist. I wish him the best, and I regret not seeing him live. Seldom is his type of talent ever been seen with his great voice, and great skills with the guitar.
To: Jay Redhawk
Jimmy Webb has talked about the song in recent years. There’s a couple of great stories behind the song, what it’s about and how it got recorded.

“I don’t know if you get this network in your area, but Palladia TV has a show called “Later… with Jools Holland.”
You can find a youtube video of GC playing Wichita Lineman from this same show. His memory was fading at this point and you can see a teleprompter rolling on stage. It’s an amazing performance of this classic.

Jimmy Webb was a brilliant songwriter.
What a thoughtful, loving and reassuring thing for him to post this.
