Another great interview with Jimmy Webb who talks about his last visit with Glen Campbell a couple of months ago, what it was like to collaborate with Glen, next spring's Carnegie Hall concert to raise money to fight Alzheimer's disease, and the possibility of his writing "volume II" of his autobio. (Yes, there may be another "cake" in the oven!)

Welcome back to the States, Jimmy!
