Glen Campbell is your example? Now you’re being silly. For the record, though he couldn’t sight-read notes, he had no problem with chord charts and I don’t care how many places you read otherwise. Though I did some dates with him, no reason to take my word for it. Carol Kaye did hundreds of sessions with the man.[/quote]

I apologise for not noting that he could read a chord chart -"...told the chords..." wasn't necessarily or often verbal...that was a given I assumed it was understood...let's face it anyone who can read can read a chord chart. CK was one of the sources, along with many other interviews with Wrecking Crew folk for my statement. I could look up the vid or comment about him asking another WC member for the chords but you wouldn't have space to accommodate it if proven so I shan't bother. I also read that he couldn't sight read but his Braille was pretty cool.
You are a smug possum aren't you?
