I could listen to Glen Campbell all day. I have many albums and listen pretty frequently.
The Wichita Lineman has left the road.
RIP!

That is so sad to hear. I'll miss him. I used to listen to him back in the day, and watch his show back in the early 1970's. He was a terrific player & singer....
R.I.P. Mr. Campbell

With his Alzheimers his wife had to do the communication for him, but he had no problem playing, singing and remembering his songs.
He was a great session player also.

Dear "floyd jane" & all... Glen Campbell introduced me to Western Swing when he sang "Rose of San Antone" in a television appearance with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. You can watch it on YouTube. Pure, seemingly effortless, and youthfully passionate singing, of the kind you never, ever, EVER forget listening to...and topped off by Bob Wills' joyful "Ahhh, ha-a-a-a-ahhh's!" throughout while fiddling his heart out. You made us plenty happy during your stay on this Earth, so now, enjoy your return to Our Creator's everlasting arms, Mr. Campbell  . LOREN

The Netflix documentary "I'll Be Me" was a remarkably well done look into his last performances. It was not sensationalized; rather, it presented a very moving story of when he had reached the point that he no longer recognized his family but could still play and sing well. We found it uplifting in the sense that it illustrated how powerful the music bond can be.

he no longer recognized his family but could still play and sing well The above quote reveals a mystery .. musicians use a different part of their brain to tie things together, apparently. I know many studies show musicians learn differently (and as a result are usually 'smarter' when tested). The fact that the music still made sense to him when other familiar things didn't says something, and hopefully contributed to his quality of life at the end. He will be missed. /I've been a fan of Glen for years so a pretty sad event for me. And anyone else he touched.

The saddest thing I read about him near the end was relayed by his son. Glen turned to his son and said "Let's do Wichita Lineman." And he son replied, "We just finished that one, dad."
Makes me as sad as comparing 22 year old Brian Wilson to 75 year old Brian Wilson, after all the drugs, the depression, the anxiety, the stroke.... I just can't bring myself to go see him.

We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the childen of God, who sing his praise. That is what musicians are."LOREN

I once wrote an essay on this that got pretty good reviews.
If you think about it we are:
A. Working in divisions of real time (math) happening continuously as we play while reading music
B. Reading a foreign language (none of us were taught music before our native language or we wouldn't understand it).
C. Improvising; creating things by thinking beyond the above 2 processes. We have to process and create 'before' the moment arrives in order to play the right note 'when' the moment arrives. So we are reading ahead, analyzing what is coming, reacting/creating beforehand, performing 'behind' what we are reading/processing so when the moment arrives we are in time .. being late is unacceptable. Not many other skills require this kind of processing! That's a lot to keep track of.
Then realize that IF we are good, we are listening to what the rest of the band is creating and including that in our end result so we are analyzing the 'now' and it is affecting what we are responding with within (sometimes) milliseconds .. let alone a guy from Russia and a guy from US can both look at a sheet of music and 'communicate' even though they do not know each others native language. It binds societies/races/countries.
It really is an amazing thing when you think about it.
And I see why it makes for a better student, regardless of path.
The fact that this seems to 'stick', even when other memory is gone, makes it even more amazing. Musicians.
We're 'different'.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
