OUCH!! Bee stings can hurt. Hope the throbbing lets up.

The throbbing is not too bad this morning. The bite area is not too swollen tis morning. Actually, the sting I got was from a ground hornet. They are nasty little buggers.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. 70º under cloudy skies. (((HUGS))) to all the gals.

Glenn discovered this song, written by a 17 year-old Jimmy Webb and first recorded by Johnny Rivers in 1965, and he instinctively knew it would be his first big hit - and it was. Glen often joked that he was an overnight success, after 20 years in the music business. The instant acceptance and unsurpassed sales of the single led to Glen's 1967 album of the same name. Campbell's version reached #2 on the U.S. Country charts in 1968 and won two Grammy Awards — for Best Vocal Performance, Male; and Best Contemporary Male Solo Vocal Performance. Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) named it the third most performed song from 1940 to 1990. Frank Sinatra called it "the greatest torch song ever written". More importantly, it established a relationship with Webb that led to one of the most enduring partnerships in the history of the music industry. Neither Jimmy nor Glen considered themselves particularly "country", but they embraced success on both the country and pop charts leading to the genesis of term "crossover artists".

Disney put out several versions of "The Ballad of Davey Crockett", including the Little Golden Record by The Sandpippers, one by Fess Parker, the TV show's star on their Buena Vista label and others by Dick James (from the motion picture, "King of the Wild Frontier") and Bill Hayes (The television theme). The Tennessee Ernie Ford version featuring Glen Campbell on guitar was originally credited to "The Wellingtons" on Disneyland Records, but there was no mistaking the ol' Pea Picker and Capitol Records soon "capitalized" on the phenomena. When I was nine, I owned several of the records, a Davey Crockett guitar, coon skin cap and a toy Kentucky long rifle. Kids these days (including my own) can't tell you who Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone was - it's all a steady diet of Spiderman, ninja turtles and Pokémon.

“Mom is doing ok. I’m trying not to bite off my tongue. The newest issue is “the bathroom door downstairs should have a second lock on the door”. Why? “Because someone might walk in.” Has anyone every walked in on you? “No.” Then why after all these years would we need one? If guests are staying down there, you would never just walk in, and usually it is family staying down there, and you still would never open the closed door to the bathroom, would you? “No.”

Tonight was, “If we don’t put a second lock on the door, then you need to get a sign that says, “Knock before entering”.”

ROFL

Aren’t moms simply wonderful? God love ‘em! ;-)

No prob, Ma! ;-)

“Too true...but I can wish. LOL!!”

I have always told customers that when I power-up a computer, it goes through its self-test, the operating system starts, it finally is completely started and everything works as it should, I am amazed. Maybe because it is the understanding of the complexity of computers.

I told this to a customer one time and he said it differently: “The difference between a novice and a professional is that the professional is surprised when things go right! A novice is surprised when things go wrong!” I actually like his version better. ;-)

"Disney Girls (1957)" is a song written by Bruce Johnston for the The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1971 album "Surf's Up". The lead vocals are by Johnston, who also plays keyboards, moog bass, and he is credited with mandolin as well, although some sources say it was Glen Campbell. Session man Ed Carter is credited with both acoustic and electric guitar, but again, some sources credit Glen Campbell as well, so it's a safe bet that Glen, a former Beach Boy himself, was involved on the session.

"Disney Girls (1957)" has proven to be one of Bruce Johnston's most enduring songs, still occasionally performed by The Beach Boys in concert to this day. It has been covered by many artists, including Art Garfunkel, Doris Day, Jack Jones, Alexander Rybak, Captain & Tennille, and even Johnston himself on his 1977 solo album "Going Public". Cass Elliot's version (from the album "Cass Elliot") is notable for featuring both Johnston and Carl Wilson on the track.

The song has long been considered Johnston's solo spot during Beach Boys live shows. It was performed during the band's 50th Anniversary tour and was Johnston's only consistent lead feature during the shows. Johnston joined The Beach Boys in 1965, the same year Glen Campbell joined them on tour, replacing Brian Wilson. Bruce and Glen had long been associated for their early 1960s collaborations with Terry Melcher under the names The Rip Chords. Bruce is also known for composing the 1975 Barry Manilow hit, "I Write the Songs".

In the 50s, 60s and into the early 70s there is no reliable chronicle of which session musicians contributed to individual songs. Musicologists rely on the memories of the musicians themselves who often played on 6 or 7 unique sessions each day. Pay records from the musicians union were often incomplete or inaccurate, producers were focused on cranking out a product and much of the history has simply fallen through the cracks. It is very likely that Glenn was at this session whether he was paid or if he played or not. The wrecking Crew were notorious for slap dash and often contradictory record keeping. Hal Blaine in the documentary "The Wrecking Crew", says there were no records kept other than 30, 40 and 50 year-old memories, so many of the songs I'll be posting today fall into that category. We can't be sure that Glen Campbell was on each of them, but I've done my best to research the timelines and can cite at least one credible source for each selection.

There's little doubt that Glen played the slide guitar on this selection in late 1959 (released in 1960). He was Ricky Nelson's go-to session guitar slinger and "Truck Drivin' Man" was one of Glen's signature songs during this era having performed it as a feature with The Green River Boys a few years earlier. It's likely that Glen is part of the back up chorus vocals as well.

Controversy rages over whether Glen Campbell was on The Beach Boys recording of "California Girls" in 1965, although it's likely, but there's no doubt that he was involved on this cover version by Jan Berry and Dean Torrence with The Wrecking Crew.

Check your birth certificate. That would put you one step ahead of the president.

LOL...I am afraid that if somebody authenticates my BC, they could end up dead in a life jacket off the coast of some leper colony somewhere.

This recording continues to fuel controversy to this day, however there is a lot of evidence that the 12-string guitar on this session was actually Glen Campbell and not (Jim) Roger McGuinn. While McGuinn recorded the parts for the song numerous times, the story goes that the record company, frustrated with the inordinate amount of studio time he was wasting brought in Glen to get it done. The rumor that Columbia forbade Roger from bringing his Rickenbacker 12-string to the final sessions was rampant in 1965, although fellow Byrds David Crosby and Mike and Gene Clark deny any such contentions. The Byrds, like the Association, The First Edition, Harper's Bizarre and several other groups resented The Wrecking Crew playing on their records, but the practice was almost universal in the California music industry of the 60s. The record companies had their eye on the bottom line and the session men were the hit-makers and often got it golden on the first take.

Hal Blaine says that in those days The Wrecking Crew were not known by that name. He says they were known as "The First Call Gang".

Whether this was Jim McGuinn or Glen Campbell will probably never be resolved. Glen was known at the time as "Mr. 12-String" and it's very likely that after days of out-takes and mounting studio expense the record company sent Glen to mimic McGuinn's performance and overdub the part without the band's knowledge or consent.

It's not overstating the case to contend that this debut is the font from which all folk-rock spouts, the Byrds cast a giant shadow. This Bob Dylan-penned title track hit No. 1 two months before the album arrived, in the process heralding a new sound that braided involved lyrics with a driving beat, chiming guitars, and vaguely trippy harmonies. The album (and, indeed, it is an album, rather than a haphazard collection of songs, as was the standard of the day) followed through on the promise of the single. Four of the dozen songs on the original pressing were Dylan compositions.

During my own career I was often called by producers to "fix" less than adequate drum tracks, without credit or the original drummer even knowing that the over-dubbing had been done in the dead of night, so I find the story that Glen "fixed" McGuinn's parts completely credible. It was McGuinn's first studio experience and that in itself is intimidating, and leaves no quarter. Studio work is uncompromising and without years of experience it is impossible to fool the tape machine. These days of course the computers can fix anything, but in the pioneer days of rock and roll it wasn't so.
