I didnt appreciate Glen Campbell until a few years ago. He is a great musician and guitar player.

Me either. The session stuff he's played on, his own material, the stuff with Jerry Reed ( another superb player) just boggles the mind.


Here's a quick one...it's like he's not even breaking a sweat.

Didn't Glenn Campbell play the acoustic guitar on the song Tequila?

Nay; he joined them some time after The Champs recorded 'Tequila'

:lol: Fucking Sinatra, not very evolved . Not sure if Ava Gardner had a wedding planner business later on though.


Glen Campbell recounted a great story about the `Strangers In The Night' session.

He got a late call asking if he could do a session next day because the producer needed several acoustic guitars on the track and they were one short. Glen arrived next day all sun tanned, long flowing mane, jeans, boots and Beach Boys-type shirt to find that Sinatra's musos were all jazz players with short hair, button-down shirts, neckties and slacks. They eyed him disdainfully.

The guitar players were seated in a line with Glen on the very end and the orchestra rehearsed all day long to get the desired sound. Early evening they got the call that Frank was on his way and the tension in the studio mounted. Thirty minutes later Sinatra arrived and went straight to the control booth and the musos all craned to catch sight of `The Gov'nor'

Sinatra walked out into the studio and the orchestra spontaneously rose and applauded him. Suddenly Frank looked over at Glen and yelled to the MD `Get rid of that long haired burrito on the end! Campbell rose to his feat and made ready to leave only to find Sinatra standing directly in front of him challenging `can you really play that thing?' GC sat down and played some really tasty licks and Sinatra said `Okay, you can stay'.

After the session Sinatra sought Campbell out, stuck a wad of $$$ in his shirt pocket and invited him to a party at his Palm Springs home.
