R.I.P Glen Campbell

I have always enjoyed Glen's music, guitar playing, singing, great hair. I remember watching his show with my father in my formative years. I married a wonderful woman but she has banned Glen from our house, my music collection. The day after Glen died I went to her with my hat in hand and asked if I could get a Glen compilation. YES! A 2 cd set is in the mail.

A visual and audio DVD testimonial to his talents ..... a 2001 recorded PBS performance with the South Dakota symphony orchestra backing

His guitar playing talents are also emphasized that validate his talents in the Wrecking Crew and also places him in the same strata of the all-time greats including Les Paul, Mark Knoffler, and Chet Atkins

His incredible performance backed by the symphony orchestra left me stunned ..... highly recommended .

here’s a sampler...... a smokin’ guitar rendition of the William Tell Overture

akg_ca-great clips, thanks!

Glen was first and foremost an A list guitarist.

As a HACK guitar playinhg enthusiast for many years, I’ve always been hip to Glen’s fine playing.

I am currently bin diving for a couple of now "rare" mono instrumentals Glen did:
"The Astounding 12 String Guitar of Glen Campbell"
"The Big Bad Rock Guitar of Glen Campbell"

His voice and his interpretation of lyrics will always stand out in my memory as part of my personal musical evolution.

Thank you Glen!

I am very much a classic Jazz fan and have been for years, but when I was in the Air Force during the Vietnam war his music was a comfort at times.  Wichita Lineman was/is a modern pop/country classic.   Thanks Glen.
