Glen Campbell has died today. R.I.P. Glen. He was a fine guitarist.

He subbed for Brian Wilson on the road for a year several years after the band's formation. I don't think that qualifies as an "original Beach boy".

He also played guitar on some of their backing tracks.

Glen Campbell had skills, all kinds of skills. Never mind the kind of queasy/queasier/queasiest relationship he had with "show business" over the years, this cat had skills. RIP.

This clip of Glen covering the Moody Blues song "Question" popped up in a prog music forum (subreddit, actually)...

I had never heard of Sagittarius.  Fascinating story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(band)  I wouldn't have identified Campbell as the lead singer.

That must be the Bob Gibson Bob Dylan is referring to on Another Self Portrait, This Evening So Soon.

I like a lot of his stuff, including "Southern Nights". His acting in True Grit was terrible though, so it's a good thing he had the music thing to fall back on.

Alzheimer's is a shitty way to go out. RIP, Glen.

Yes.  Beach Boys alum Gary Usher was behind the project.  I have the album but have not spun it in a while.

Did you see "Guess I'm Dumb" that I posted above?  Written and produced by Brian Wilson.
