Thanks for the song link.
I remember the song, of course.
Used to like to hear 12 string guitars, such as by the gifted studio musician Glen Campbell who later had his own songs, I’ve been told. (kidding)
Bob Dylan when asked “what is the best song ever recorded?” has several times said “Wichita Lineman” (Jim Webb song sung by Glen Campbell.)
“The Astounding 12-String Guitar of Glen Campbell” (1964) was one.
I was surprised when I watched a video of the Monterrey Festival that there was so much leftover folk guitar influence as with the early Jefferson Airplane. 12 string guitar for the Mamas and the Papas, too. Folk roots for them.
Leadbelly used his 12 string before amplification because it could be heard by a larger audience. He was called “The King of the 12 String Guitar” since the 1930s.
Nice one, thanks - I had forgotten about my eight-year-old self listening to this.
Everyone’s talking bout a new way to walk in.
Gee, in 1962, I thought that this was the first “drugs” song. I didn’t know that it was first recorded in 1929.
“Walk right in/sit right down/daddy let your mind roll on...’’
