"If you play it perfect every time they'll come to expect that from you."  

Glen was featured this morning on the Sunday Profile on CBS Sunday Morning.  My wife and I enjoyed this piece and tears were in our eyes as it ended.  Glen is suffering from early Alzheimer's diesease and is slowly fading away.  He is going to be honored at the Grammy's with a Lifetime Achievment Award.  Two sons and a daughter are in his band now.  His daughter Ashley plays banjo and she's good.

I was in grade school in the late 60's when By the time I get to Phoenix came out.  I was in high school in the 70's when Rhinestone Cowbay came out and I remember the Glen Campbell show on TV.  What I didn't realize was how many recordings he is on as a studio musician. 

I've always liked Glen Campbell.  His farewell album is called Ghost on the Canvas.
