I am so sorry. Alzheimers is such an insidious disease. It is probably worse on the care-giver than for the patient. But is absolutely awful.

That’s not gentle on his mind.

Glen rec’d poor reviews here at the Carmel Boondoggladium recently. This could explain a lot.

I saw a performance of his about a year ago on TV. He could still pull it off and well. As someone who helps care for an Alzheimer’s patient, I pray for him and his family.

Little known is what an awesome guitar player he is. I wish he would play more and sing less. Sorry to hear of his condition

Documentary about the Wrecking Crew

Apparently DVD release is being held up due to licensing.

I'm not sure of how many songs he has written, but this one is masterful.

Glen Campbell can play guitar better than just about everyone. Even if his ability is compromised 90% he would still rank in the top 10% of guitar players. I wish I could find the listings on all of the studio sessions he was a part because it would surprise most.

Glen Campbell has real talent, rare today and not terribly common at any time.

I remember Rhinstone Cowboy. I was young and didn’t quite have the words figured out when it was a hit:

‘Like a rhinestone cowboy - getting pardon letters from people I don’t even know’.

Still laugh about that.

Not a great movie but still worth a look was “Norwood” (1970) starring Campbell.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066162/

It’s one of my favorite lesser known offbeat comedies.

Wouldn't mind seeing Campbell perform. I really like his recent CD Meet Glen Campbell.

Not a country fan, but this version of Wichita Lineman is one of my favorite songs. Playing with Stone Temple Pilots in 2003. I like how its stripped down,instead of a big band behind him.....

Nobody was better at interpreting Jimmy Webb’s songs than Glen.

That is sad.

Glen Campbell was a studio musician who played on a very famous recording...”The Unicorn” from the Irish Rovers.

Definitely an impressive artist. His show was appointment TV for me. I learned to like country from that show. May his wife stay strong. Hopefully he can afford lots of help as the days pass. Caring for them can truly seem The 36-Hour Day (great book on coping with someone with the disease).
