Best of Glen Campbell Playing Don't Think Twice

I am convinced this is a song picked up from Jerry because of the descending/ascending turnaround at the beginning and throughout the song. Jerry seemed to use it in the early '70s in several songs, first recording it on Stumpwater with Chet. Then Jerry recorded Don't Think Twice in the manner in which Glen plays it here, on When You're Hot You're Hot album. I am sure that is when Glen's ears perked up and he later on adapted it to start off Southern Nights.

Don't think twice is a song that Glen seemed to hang on to, even after turning ill. Ashley commented after his passing "“Almost every time he sat down with a guitar...He would sit down and sing ‘Don’t Think Twice,’ "

I have a video somewhere of him borrowing a travel guitar from a guy eating breakfast...while touring on the Goodbye tour...and playing it. For you guys that want to run through it...

I'm sure I put the link in the wrong category. Sorry about that. Yes Cowpoke, this guy is spot on with his covers and get's all the nuances down well. Think he is maybe where you live or closeby , not sure. Thanks!
