“Wouldn’t you like to fly in my beautiful balloon” Jimmy Webb

Jimmy Webb also wrote Galveston, Wichita Lineman and MacArthur Park. And a bunch of other stuff... he’s still around interesting fellow.

If you haven’t heard his haunting rendition originally recorded by himself and a 12-string guitar...of Galveston it’s a completely different song, about a Lonely Soldier in Vietnam wishing he was back home in Galveston to see the girl that he fell in love with.

The LA Studio rendition with Glen Campbell makes it sound like a Song by comparison, which is sad because everybody practically missed the loneliness of that song.
