He played on over 3,000 recordings. Including Frank Sinatra. I saw an interview where he was asked if he thought he was the greatest guitar player of all time. He said “I’d say the most versatile guitar player.”

A friend of mine is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer based in LA who has remastered the great albums from Sinatra to Nat king Cole to Peggy Lee to McCartney and all of the great Jazz albums from the 50’s and 60’s.

In years past, he would have a weekly breakfast with Hal Blaine (founder of the Wrecking Crew) and others in the industry. The stories at those breakfasts had to be amazing.

Side note on “Wichita Lineman” - Glen’s solo is played on a 6-string bass guitar that belonged to the great Carol Kaye of the Wrecking Crew.
