Watch him play the guitar. And check it out; not a Safe Queen.

Glen Campbell is a talented guy and a fabulous gitar picker. Had a lot of great songs. Too bad he is suffering from the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease.

[tmark]

He is up there in talent along with Buck Owens and Roy Clark.

Many don't realize it, but Roy Clark set a new standard for pickers. Just like SRV set the bar to a new height for benders.

(My favorite guitarists are Mark Knopfler and Dickie Betts.)

[Vern Humphrey]

I'd rather hear him play the pipes.

[Dick Hosmer]

Glen is a (very) distant cousin of my wife's. Very sad story - truly a great musician.

Campbell is good. Roy Clark is probably the best "picker", with Jerry Reed hot on his tail.

I liked Glenn Campbell's stuff from the first time I heard "Lineman for the County" but I do think he zigged when he should have zagged. Up came Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson.

Much as I liked the early Glenn Campbell, my heart went elsewhere. I didn't know the man was still alive & I wish him peace, rest, and that his mind will clear if only for a minute before he passes.

Nuff said? Well...I've been told there are three kinds of people you should never argue with. Yellow Dog Democrats, Chicago Cubs fans, and Jimi Hendrix fans.
Being an avid Cubs fan myself I'm not going to debate you on the issue!

Hendrix could play the heck out of a guitar, but he wasnt a picker.

Hendrix could play the heck out of a guitar, but he wasnt a picker.

Reminds me of a violin. It can be associated with the great historic composers who wrote timeless works of art or it can be called a fiddle.

And I'm a yellow dog democrat.

Got a guitar with his name on it. Wish I could play it. Too old to learn now I guess.
