Well that pretty much sucks.
He was the "Country" Beach Boy and called Phoenix home for many years.
I've always loved this song..... Came out in my fifteen's/sixteen's, right when I got my drivers license. I wasn't even near a Country Music fan, but it just had a hook.........

He was pretty much able to keep performing up to the end. They (whoever "they" are) say music is one of the first languages we learn, almost like a instinct, so it's the last one that goes.
I'll agree with this because the other night, I played a set and then after doing requests, I was asked to play what I wanted, just not what they were used to hearing me play. I pulled a set of songs out of my @SS that I haven't even thought about in years, and had all the words too. "They" could be right about that!
For about the last 10 years, his children were his back up band, so if he got a little lost, they were right there to lovingly get him back on track.
I had the pleasure of going to one of his shows 7 or 8 years ago, and got to witness this. What I thought was kinda amazing, was he might would fumble a verse once in awhile, but his guitar playing was still exquisite!
I'm more of a rocker, but I learned as much about melody and song structure and sometimes "less is more" when playing from Glen as I did anyone else.
Mr. Campbell RIP

Wow.
What will they say about you when you're gone?
I, for one, will be ok that I won't hear it. I have my regrets, too.
Thank you for the post, so cool. I’ve watched this vid. Three times

Back in the 80's I had the first rollback certified by DPS and moved some of Glen's cars and he always wanted the same driver and truck.
This is a picture he sent me back in those years.
