LOL, Mike!
Very, very funny!
Glad you have adopted "Today is mine" as your theme song. Keep it on the positive, right?
Perhaps one of Jerry Reed's best songs? or, at least, best inspirational song?
Wow, Randy,
Thank you so much for sharing Glen's "MacArthur Park" cover-- great performance...and the guitar solo...there are no words for it. (Tears, yes.)
Yes, indeedy, he nails it. Glen knew it, too, at the very end--I appreciate his joy, too, when he closed the song.
Do you remember when you first heard MP (as asked by the host on this segment)?
It took me some time to find the next "required viewing" video. I think it caught my eye this week because I had recently uploaded the 1968 performance of GOMM by both John Hartford and Glen Campbell on our Glen Campbell Forums YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM4ECUohA-4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Just think of everything these two artists experienced and achieved between 1968 and this 1994 (est.) performance (in Branson?)! They are having more fun this time, really rockin' the "Gentle" boat! It was interesting to me to see John enjoying this song as the "pop" song Glen had recorded. I had read in a bio about Hartford that before Glen's '68 recording, John had never envisioned his song to be "pop". He had written and recorded it as a folk song with a slow tempo.
