Re: I'll Be Me

Does anyone know if it was it intentional to use that image of Glen on the poster to help promote Debby's book or is it just coincidental ?

Re: Glen's History with Ovation Guitars

O boy Siblis, its like looking at a sweetshop window. I want them all. I managed to get hold of a GC signature 6 string guitar a few years back. Model 1127-4. According to the Ovation site the serial number mans it was built in 1976. I just love it. I just wish I had a electric acoustic version to u...

Re: Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City

That is true Cowpoke. Glen did say that in the article. I didn't mention it, but it was a strong stance on the subject which surprised me. Glen's always tried to keep politics off his show and he objected to the Smothers Brothers when they wanted to show a Anti War film behind Glen when he sang a so...

Re: Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City

Hi Dee, Although Glen sang these songs because he felt they were good songs, many considered them to be in support of a political viewpoint. Jimmy himself felt that Galveston was made to feel like a uptempo "lets go get 'em song" rather than the slower anti war feel he had originally score...

Re: Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City

I find it interesting that this article and programmes I have watched on BBC4 "Greenwich Village" etc seem to focus on the music as being a tool for political movements. I understand the point but it just feels sometimes as if the music is judged to be more worthwhile if it promotes a poli...

Re: I'm Not Gonna Miss You - EP Release

Thanks Dee, Yes the info was very helpful. The forum seems easy to navigate as well. So a good job on user friendliness. I changed the colour scheme of the forum on my computer, but when the paint had dried I found I couldn't see the posts, so I had to scrap it off the screen again. At least I now k...

Re: Say Hello to Other Members!

Hi I'm Mike, I have been a fan since 1977. I just missed Glen at the Royal Festival Hall. Too my lasting regret. Like other fans, Glen has been a great inspiration and a life changer for me. There is hardly a day I don't listen to Glen sing. It is because of Glen I took up the guitar and of late I h...

Re: I'm Not Gonna Miss You - EP Release

That is great news about the single.It's the perfect springboard to create more interest in the film. Lets hope it pushes up the chart even higher. Being on YT, I wonder if that has a big effect on sales as its freely available to listen too for the casual listener. I guess it helps the advertising ...
