An excellent tribute to Glenn is found here: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/08/glen-campbell-rip.php.
Well worth anyone’s time. Glenn was one of the finest musicians and singers of his time. RIP Glenn, Christ love you.
Even hard rockers like me, back in the sixties, turned the radio up when a Glenn Campbell tune was playing. Galveston was a sweet, but forlorn ballad.
Thanks so much for posting this link.

That was very nice; thank you for posting it! I didn’t know that Glen was such a talented guitarist. After watching your clip I clicked on the clip of Alice Cooper discussing Mr. Campbell. That was pretty stinking interesting!!
For those who may have missed it because it did not post as a link, this ia=s a really great Glenn Campbell song:

Those were the days when performers performed with class instead of looking like they have been dragged off the streets still having DT’s or seizures as they *perform*.
“Galveston is a song about a young man drafted to fight in Vietnam. He left his 21 year old girlfriend and thinks of her and Galveston while he worries of dying. “I clean my gun and dream of Galveston”.”
Spanish-American War as far as I know.
I've bookmarked the whole thread for later listening.
