That was really great...thank you for posting. Glen Campbell was so good that he could make an Ovation guitar sound amazing.
OT: Great video of Glen Campbell playing in front of some guitar legends and blowing them away

Talented man. I saw him live and he brought out a set of bagpipes and played Amazing Grace on it. It was a really haunting, beautiful sound.
Classic Vinyl is about all I listen too. Maybe a little Classic Rewind, Soul Town, Willie’s Roadhouse and Bluesville.
good video, seen a number of times, but doesn't get old.
Thanks for posting. It's posts like yours that add a tremendous value to the OB community.
I would be remiss were I not to point out that Glen's daughter Ashley is rather attractive.
I saw a video of him in the late stages of the disease. It was sad and he didn’t know a lot. They put a guitar in his hands and he tore that thing up!
Immediately to Glenn's right is Crystal Gayle, and to her right is B. J. Thomas. He is one of my all time favorites and I was lucky enough to see him at the Stafford Center a few years ago.
My grandmother played the piano for him when he would be in the Alpine area way back in the day.
Yes, that is Sammy and Son next to him. Sammy and the Geezinslaws were one of Ralph’s favorite guests on his talk show. I assume that is why he is there. I don’t think he performed anything during those shows, but I could be wrong.
Billy Joe Shaver does a couple of incredible songs, as does Wilkie, and Kris K. Dan Seals does a beautiful version of All That Glitters as well.

Thanks for posting. Get chills to hear all that live music. Allsome.
Sammy came on Ralphs show one night and i heard the exchange like this
RE: please welcome the Geezinslaws
SA: thank you, Ralph
RE: how you doin’, Sammy?
SA: Ralph , its dry in Texas
RE says something and doesnt pick up on it
In a few seconds you hear Sammy clear his throat [ahem] and says, “Ralph, I said, .......IT’S DRYYY IN TEXAS!”
This time Ralph picks up on it and so he says, oh, Im sorry Sammy..... HOW DRY IS IT IN TEXAS?”
Sammy says “why, thanks for askin’.
Ralph, its so dry the bushes are whistlin’ to the dogs”.
Brought the house down.
Here is the Dan Seals I mentioned earlier. His emotion at the end gets me every time. It is a beautiful performance.
Watched all the videos posted and they are all amazing! I wonder if today's youth have any idea how badly they are getting cheated by the crap coming out of Nashville now.
Two things that make my eyes water.
Gus McCrae on his deathbed and Amazing Grace on bagpipes.
Oh yeah. He was here, there and everywhere. Unbelievable guitar player, original rock and roller.
Glen Campbell was the epitome of country music gold. Sadly 98% of people my age wouldn’t know him from Adam.
Slightly OT, but I remember a quote from Campbell saying his acting was so bad in True Grit, they gave John Wayne the Oscar. I always admire people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Yeah...that is one of Ralph Emery's Songwriters and Signers he would do. Here is another great one.
Willie at his best: I love the look on Mickey Gilley's face and Kris K is priceless.
I have this saved on my PC......sometimes when I remember certain "moments" in my life I put this one on and have a glass of whisky in my home office and just think.
Powerful! Thanks.
Here is another classic: the only time he was on ACL
