Glen Campbell has Died

[Tricia]

From the Washington Post

Glen Campbell, a guitar prodigy and ballad singer who dominated the polished, string-swelling countrypolitan sound of the late 1960s and 1970s and cultivated a clean-cut image at odds with his once-stormy personal life, died Aug. 8 . He was 81.

RIP

So sorry he had such a struggle these past years. His music brings back memories of such a simpler time, so long ago. Loved him in True Grit. RIP Glen.

BBM, that's how I feel, too!

Glen Campbell... my first concert. I was just a kid but my parents let me tag along

I've spent the last hour mentally reminiscing. I think I'm homesick.

I hope Glen has made it... "to where the sun keeps shining"

I love to see the youtube clips of Glen Campbell (literally a poor sharecropper's son from Arkansas) playing with a full orchestra.
