Glen Campbell is performing at a nearby Indian casino on March 2nd - I think I’ll get some tickets.

He’s just plain good...and that’s really all there is to say.

Wonderful story! Thanks for posting!

For those who have Fathers still alive: use your time wisely to really get to know him and appreciate him. Tell him you love him for what he has done for you while you still can and as often as you can.

His performance starts at about 7 min.

"Meet Glen Campbell," Glen's album from a few years back. Just plain great, and highly recommended!

Dennis Miller has been talking alot about Glenn lately too.

Glen's 75? Wow! I was in my early teens, and my Mama and Daddy were big fans of his music, so when the University for which my Mama worked brought him to my hometown, they brought me and my two little sisters along to the concert.

Glen was the 'star' of the show, and was really terrific, but he was almost eclipsed by his opening act, a lovely Mississippi girl by the name of Bobbie Gentry, who, a few months later, would hit the charts with her plaintive "Ode to Billy Joe".

Thanks for posting this wonderful story.

I’ve always loved Glen’s songs - Wichita Lineman, Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Rhinestone Cowboy, etc.

This is the first video from his final studio album, “Ghost on the Canvas.”

“A Better Place” - very poignant.

Godspeed, Glen.

What a career. One of, if not the best, studio session guitar players ever and one of the Beach Boys who filled in for Brian Wilson.

I don’t think either of us realized True Grit was filmed near Bishop, CA, not far from where we had gone on several fishing trips.

Not quite. Most of True Grit was filmed in and around Ridgeway, Colorado.

Well watching Song of the South is a thing of the past, I’ll warrant.

Sometimes I hate these trips down memory lane. If only things were as simple as they were in the days of my youth when I listened to him on the radio. Sadly, nothing stays the same and time always marches forward.

He's had some truly beautiful music and great songs over the years.
