I always liked GLen Campbell, he is a true talent. It hurts me to see him, or anyone, suffer from Alzheimers. Although finding the cure for cancer is my main dog in the fight, I support Alzheimers research with the same zeal. Earlier this year, I helped a friend, whose mother has Alzheimers, in a fund raiser. The world is going to Hell though, but if I want a few warm moments of sanity and good feelings, Glen Campbell and Andy Williams fit the bill.
A side note: I remember Mom in 2012 watching old reruns of Andy Williams Christmas shows and she started to cry. I knew why, I felt it too, but I asked her "why?" She said, "I miss the world of Andy Williams" among othwrs. I'm sure she would feel the same if she saw the "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour." Now I get tears when I hear songs from them two. I miss that world too.
