Glen Campbell Forums

He was featured on the majority of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” productions, including the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” which featured perhaps the most indelible drum introduction in rock ‘n’ roll history. He also appeared on many of the Beach Boys’ best-known records (standing in for the L.A. band’s D...

Mary!!!! It is about time you showed up :D . Thank you for the post and hopefully, you will keep us updated. You have been a valuable and tremendous resource for Glen's time in New Mexico. I sincerely admire your expertise and diligence in helping us recreate Glen's early days in Albuquerque. As you...

Randy, really they contacted me through the Forums! My love for Colorado and the San Juans is just a coincidental common thread. They were not looking in Debby's direction at the time (last year) and I suggested that she probably would be the most likely to say yes to an invite. I really did no leg ...

Randy, thanks for adding that...I guess if you wear a red bandanna over there, that certifies you as "country". I wonder how big the crowd was!

ashcambanjo I miss the jams we used to have with my dad. Even while dealing with Alzheimer’s he still loved to play music with me and my friends. This is one of my favorite moments out on our back patio in Malibu playing a great Django Reinhardt tune called Minor Swing with the fabulous Benedikt Br...

The woods were not properly dried out and the construction wasn't beefy enough, and the lacquer finish was put on with too many layers, too quickly. A sum of ...

They got a lot of mileage out the day at the railyard. Or maybe they went there for several shoots. And the merry go around carousel! I am betting that is the one at Griffith Park...the same place Glen had the picture taken in front of the old steam engine (sideburns in that picture were same length...
