Sad that Glen Campbell is no longer able to perform.

For most of the 1960s, Glen Campbell’s brilliant guitar playing was known only by a select few top recording studios and artists.

Long before Glen became known nationally as an outstanding vocalist, actor and TV personality, he was one of the most in-demand recording studio guitarists in the world.

He could have earned a 7-figure annual income as a high-end, requested-for-studio guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared to do. How good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will enjoy!

Take a look at this video, one you may have never seen before. https://www.youtube.co m/embed/ GUBhE00h9U0?feature=player_ detailpage

Hi Yo Silver, Away! - It doesn’t get much better than this.

“The William Tell Overture” by Giaochino Rossini.

Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and white television. Years later, many of us watched the Glen Campbell show on TV as well.

Glen Campbell was a part of Hal Blaine’s “Wrecking Crew” studio musicians. Glen played lead on most of the Beach Boys hits.

When he recorded “Wichita Lineman”, he borrowed fellow Wrecking Crew Carol Kaye’s 6-string bass for the solo.
