Glen Campbell with one more mean rendition of the William Tell Overture, aka the Lone Ranger theme. Like most us I loved the Long Ranger when I was a kid and still watch it on FETV every night.

Glen was a genius.

I’ve never heard this. Thanks for the link. I will now enjoy listening to it.

His combination of guitar virtuoso and fine singer is matched by very few.

Amazing he did it on a 12 string electric!

One of the early members of “The Wrecking Crew” - a group of super talented studio musicians led by the great Hal Blaine on drums.

“The Wrecking Crew” played on all the hits recorded in LA back in the 60’s and early 70’s. including all of the Beach Boys, Mamas/Papas, Jan&Dean, etc...

btw, Glen borrowed & played Wrecking Crew’s Carol Kaye’s 6-string bass on his “Witchita Lineman” solo.

I wonder if he’s getting any experimental treatment for Alzheimer’s. There was an article the other day about a treatment that can clear the plaque.

That clip is from his 2001 concert with the South Dakota symphony. My wife and I have watched it. A very good concert by Mr. Campbell. He had been living for God for several years by that time, and his attitude during the concert seemed to show that.

The story is Campbell called Jimmy Webb to do a song, but he didn’t have enough time to finish it, so he sent it to the studio as is, still needing a verse. Webb didn’t hear anything for a while, but the next time he saw Campbell he said I guess you didn’t record the song. Campbell said, oh no, we recorded it. We just put a bass solo where the missing verse was supposed to be.
