Glen Campbell was my hero. I never missed the Glen Campbell show when I was a kid. [Technically the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour].
I was also learning the banjo then, and Carl Jackson was his banjo player; another idol of mine.
Did you know that Glen also plays the bag pipes?

Glen Campbell gives his first television interview with ABC since going public with his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Campbell just embarked on a farewell tour. He just released his final album, “Ghost on the Canvas,” at the end of August.
During his tour, he will be accompanied by his wife of nearly 30 years, Kim Woollen, and three of his children, who will be part of his band. All of them will provide support, as well, and the group will be cautious and ensure that concert goers are aware of his condition, in case he has a problem during the concert. Campbell began the tour in Toronto at the end of August.
Late response on my part, but Campbell also plays the banjo — he played the banjo part of the banjo/bass harmonica solo on “I Know There’s an Answer” off of “Pet Sounds.”
