Lately, “Wichita Lineman” - Jimmy Webb’s lyrics hold a personal meaning re: a very, very special woman.

“And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time”

In the studio, Glen played a 6-string bass for the solo that he borrowed from “Wrecking Crew’s” Carol Kaye who was also in the studio.

Have you ever heard the story about Glen Campbell's studio work for Frank Sinatra? He was starstruck and kept staring at Sinatra until Sinatra reportedly said, “Kid, are you a fag?”

That’s a Fender Mk6 bass. I had the chance to play one in a stage show and absolutely fell in love with it. They don’t make them anymore and they are hard to find (expensive) but one of these days....

Just watched that same concert the other day because I wanted to hear “Are You Still Within the Sound of my Voice”.

Heard his version before Rondstadt made it and love the arrangement in that concert.
