I'm posting this a little later than usual because I've been on vacation this week. My routine is a bit off but that's okay because vacation, right?
Heard some sad news this afternoon, not surprising in anyway but still sad news all the same. Glen Campbell passed away at the age of 81 after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Our family has a bit of personal experience with "the long goodbye" because my grandmother was a victim of it. It's a terrible thing to watch someone you love so dearly forget everything that is most important to them.
In the case of my grandmother, she left a lovely legacy of love behind, children and grandchildren and inlaws and outlaws and cousins and aunts and uncles who thought the world of her and remember her every day. In Glen Campbell's case, we have a long career of musical awesomeness by which to remember him.
Many years ago, while I was working at CFRC, I heard Ghost of American Airman's cover of a Campbell classic and loved it instantly. I'm sharing it with you today. Have a listen, it's just an audio track, no video, but it's a great version. Enjoy xo
