Back in one of my previous lives I was a disc jockey and worked at several radio stations. And, I played a lot of Glen Campbell songs. Since his death there has been a lot of coverage on TV and radio and I for one think he earned all the praise he’s getting now.

I heard on the radio that ‘Wichita Lineman’ has been played more than any other song. I don’t know if that’s true, but I played it a few hundred times myself. For a song that was unfinished, it did very well in the charts and is still played today.

Glen Campbell was a talented man and there have been many comments about him. I will add my thought to his praise, with a simple statement that to musicians means a lot.

He was a picker.

As good as they get.
