Was just playing a little Glen Campbell for my kids as we were coming up from New Mexico. He sure could sing and play the guitar. Thanks for pisting. Will have to share with my mom. She always liked him and feels bad that he has Alzheimer’s.

I find that few people know this little factoid about Glen ... he also played bag pipes.

Glen was an extraordinarily gifted musician and did MANY sessions as a part of the famous “Wrecking Crew” led by Hal Blaine.

He played on most of the Beach Boys hits and traveled with them for concerts after Brian Wilson stopped touring.

“Wichita Lineman” is one of the most haunting songs Jimmy Webb ever wrote and Glen performed it perfectly.
