Thank you for this amazing list, Erik the Dane!

To members-at-large, please share by posting any other songs that you may be aware of that were written by Jimmy Webb and sung by Glen Campbell (and possibly other artists with Glen). Thanks! Dee

I'll do my best for you Dee. I believe Jimmy is generous with his fans so I should be able to catch him before or after the concert..

Great, Mike.
If you see Jimmy, I'd love an autographed "Still Within The Sound of My Voice" CD.

Hey Dee,
Thankyou so much for this great news. I will definitely be going to Shrewsbury to see Jimmy there.
I am so excited.

To Jimmy Webb fans in the U.K., here is exciting news for you all!

Jimmy Webb Confirms April 2015 UK Tour

I can't comment on the lyrics being changed, but I do know that in a 1990's interview that Jimmy does on an A & E Bio on Glen, Jimmy stated that he wasn't crazy at first when Glen took Don Ho's version of "Galveston" & changed it to a faster tempo, etc....but Jimmy later went on to say that it grew on him & that Glen knew what he was doing because it became such a HUGE hit.

Lyrics. Indeed he did change some. Singing some good ole songs beats same ole songs to me. Sounds much better.
And I'm doing fine at the Witchita , I love that,,, in fact it highlights the song if u ask me.

Thx Mike for that link
