Great link Dee,
Sometimes we forget the impact Alzheimer's has on the care givers'. Kim seems a strong lady though and I wish her well through this terrible time.

Found this video on YouTube while watching other Glen videos-He and Waylon Jennings were participating in some of those Ralph Emery memories DVDs singing their classic songs-and during a conversation SUPPOSEDLY about Waylon's song "Bob Wills is Still the King"-Waylon decided to say thanks to Glen for putting him and other struggling artists in Nashville on the Goodtime Hour and giving them a chance-Glen had a snappy comeback about paying them to appear-

Songs of protest, songs of war
"Reporting Vietnam" exhibit at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Washington Post
May 22, 2015

A new exhibit marks the 50th anniversary of the start of America's first televised war and explores how journalists brought news about the war to a divided nation. This exhibit includes 40 protest songs and anthems from this wartime era including "titles directly considered part of the Vietnam songbook". "Galveston" is one of these songs.

Music played an important cultural role during the Vietnam War, representing the rebellious views of a young generation and the traditional values of an older, so-called “silent majority.” The Newseum selected 40 songs released between 1963 and 1973 that typified the music of the Vietnam era. The songs captured the emotions of people for and against the war and reflected the mood of an increasingly diverse country amid dramatic social and political change.

The 40 songs...are a fraction of the hundreds of recordings that dealt with the war and civil disobedience. Each week (Mondays), one song from the playlist will be featured (on the museum's website).

Great radio discussion, Cowpoke! Thank you for your post.

Guess what? The Billy Mize & the Bakersfield Sound film is NOW available on DVD/Blu-ray and is screening in theatres.

Check out the film's website with trailer at: http://billymizemovie.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Mr. Mize is an amazingly talented man who survived many tragedies in his life including a stroke at the age of 59 years old. This film is his "swan song".

Billy Mize performed and also hosted Gene Autry's "Melody Ranch" television show in the sixties and early seventies. Here is Glen Campbell on "Melody Ranch" with Billy Mize at 2:41 minutes into the video. (Billy is wearing a blue suit.)

Two radio show hosts discuss the front and back cover of the Wichita Lineman album and share their memories.
