I wonder if the song is also featured in this movie.

Glen put Galveston on the map. Oh...and they had a couple of serious hurricanes in their history, that almost took them off the map...
I think it is fitting that he did a concert in Galveston during the Goodbye Tour. Kind of completed the circle.

Hi Dee,
I would think if someone said the word Galveston, to most people my age the response would be a rendition of "Galveston oh Galveston" in all its various keys and styles, in tune and out of tune, because that song is probably the only thing that people know about the place. Beyond that, many would not know where it is on the map. Probably a lot of Americans too. J.D. Richards's song is very much a heart felt song about a place that he loves as his home. Having been born there worked there and at some point will die there, he is saying to the listener this is a real place where real people live, not just a title of some song glen Campbell sang decades ago. As good as the song is, the reality of the place is also so very much important to me and my life. To mention Glen is as you say Dee, is a nod to the man himself and a respectful acknowledgement of that great track.

This song slipped by me last year: "Galveston's More Than A Glen Campbell Song" written and recorded by JD Richards on his "Gulf Of Mexico" album released on August 10, 2015.
Listen to it here: http://jdrichards.bandcamp.com/track/ga ... pbell-song" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I feel it's a kind of tribute to Glen Campbell because the songwriter obviously associates Glen with both the city and the song "Galveston". These associations by Mr. Richards, a Dallas, Texas songwriter, are not small ones!
Would you agree? Disagree?

That's wonderful news Dee, I know you are a big fan also, so it is nice to see this item. Like Glen it's great that they have given this disease some recognition which I am sure will help a lot of people.

Re: Check Out This Link
How could one person bear so much for so long and all because he wasn't given a simple blood test for Lyme's disease?
And Kris was misdiagnosed by multiple specialists including two neurologists?
Appreciate that article, Randy.

Ha! I hadn't counted the pairs of hands, Mike. I know I need a small vacation, but how did I miss the fourth pair of hands?
Very interesting, Lt. Columbo!

Re: Check Out This Link
Great pictures Dee, Just one question. On the tribute plaque there are only three sets of hands. Do you think she didn't agree to add her hand prints on this plaque, because of her feeling as previously mentioned. Seems a great shame if that is the case. Perhaps she didn't agree with the "Wrecking Crew" label at that time either.
