May God bless and hold Mr. Campbell through his final years.

It's hard to listen to a song from the 60s without wondering if Glen Campbell is playing guitar, bass, or banjo. Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Petula Clark, Nat King Cole, the Beach Boys, Kingston Trio (banjo on "The Reverend Mr. Black," for one), Merle Haggard, Lou Rawls, Rose Maddox, Tex Ritter, Gene Vincent, Bobby Edwards, Fifth Dimension, the Monkees, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley ("Viva Las Vegas," for one), the Righteous Brothers (including "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"), Roger Miller ("Dang Me"), Hondells, Jimmy Webb's jingles, the First Edition . . . and that's not remotely close to 1/100th of the popular artists whose hits from the 60s feature Glen Campbell.

Wow, I knew Glen was prolific, but what a lineup of stars he played with, just Wow!

And Glen also played for Jimmy Rogers in his early years.

Glen tried, unsuccessfully, to teach Jimmy how to play chords on his guitar.
