A post on a guitar forum I frequent:

In 2006, I was with some buddies on a golf trip in Scotland. We were in St. Andrews at this point in the trip. We are on the first tee at Kingsbarns, and Glen Campbell walks up. He is in the group behind us. Well, he is there behind us all day. I watch him most of the day, and he has a nice swing and appears to be a good player. I am a former NCAA division 1 golf champion and a former professional player. I can spot a good player, and he was.

Anyway, that night me and my buddies are sitting at an outside table at a famous pub there in St Andrews - the Dunvagen. We have a few beers in us, and there walks by Glen Campbell with a couple of people. We stop him and mention that he looked like he was playing well. He is carrying a pizza oddly enough. He is EXTREMELY nice. I tell him that when I was a kid the first songs I learned on guitar were his and that he was my hero. Well he likes this. I ask him if he would join us and let me buy him a beer or something. He says, "Boy, I guess you don't read the tabloids much. I ain't had a drink in years. But sure, we will sit with you boys." So he and his (much younger) wife and his agent or manager sit with us. They sit with us for probably an hour and a half. Great stories being told, and just an extremely nice and friendly guy. He mainly talked golf, but we talked music too. And he shared his pizza with us. It was just a really cool experience. Like I said, he was my first music hero I can ever remember.

I hate to hear this about Glen Campbell. I am not sure what has been said over the years about Glen, but I can tell you from first hand experience he is an incredibly nice and gracious man.

I sure didn't realize he is age 76 now. I would have thought ten years younger. He still looks good when I have seen him in recent years, even with all his hell-raisin'.

Here's a song I was not familiar with... has a cool bridge...
