I’m convinced that was Glen, he was a real rocking guitarist. One of best ever. I can picture him strumming along to this song.

There’s a YouTube interview of his friend and golfing buddy, Alice Cooper, a day or so after Glen’s passing.

AC mentions Eddie Van Halen asked AC to arrange a meeting with Glen Campbell for a guitar lesson.

Glen was a world class guitarist and certainly the business recognized it.
