Has anyone noticed the similarity between Bennie Hill's "Ernie" and Scott's "Jackie" ?
Still, Glen Campbell, eh?

/some of his odder, more idiosyncratic moves--like having a celtic tune on each of his albums for a while/Have a dim memory of seeing him, on some chat show or something, whipping out a set of bagpipes and tootling away on them (in celebration of his "Scottish heritage"). --R. Stornoway (Tom D.)

Never though much about Glen Campbell until this last week...
Just finished watching the Wrecking Crew film a few days ago and previously had no idea how many classic records of the 60's he played on.. Then next day the story about his illness hit the news..
Today I bought a copy of Wichita Lineman LP for a euro, and i'm really enjoying it..
His version of These Days posted by Jamie upthread is breathtaking...

Yeah, pretty great. I think it's one of those indestructible songs, like "Only Love Can Break Your Heart."

Was thread about those types of songs once, but can't think of how to find it.

Sometimes a journey can be a state of mind. What if all his hits only happened in his mind? A possibly inconclusive Then Play Long piece.
