      I asked him when I met him (John Hartford) what it took to be a #riverboatpilot? He recommended I not do it… He said there were way too many dangers, including horny males. I trusted him, so listened to him, and took his advice. ❤

    Glen Campbell: Member of the famous "Wrecking Crew" of studio musicians, lauded by many professionals as one of the greatest guitar players of all time, part-time member of the Beach Boys, singer songwriter, 29 songs in the top 10, with 50 years experience before we lost him. John Hartford: Grammy award winning singer songwriter, could play banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin with the best, expert river boat pilot, poet, author, music historian, the man could play a fiddle, sing, and clog at the same time. He was called a one-man band. Needless to say, these two phenomenal artists created a huge stir among their fans when it was announced that Glen would host a TV show. They are missed. Keep playing in heaven, boys.

      Interesting fact: Glenn couldn't read music. He learned in the mountains, where you just pick up an instrument when you're a kid and start playing. To the end of his career he had to have someone else play written music for him before he could play it himself (with appropriate upgrades, of course).
      I loved learning that, because I learned several instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin) that same way.

    No doubt that they were walking a fine line with the network for their political commentary. They were always in trouble. Righteous rebels, those two. Bloody brilliant.

    Glen and John Hartford were just starting out. Their song, Gentle on my Mind, turned out to become of the greatest popular songs of all time, an enormous success.

      Actually, it's John's song. Also Glen was a studio musician prior to this... he was part of the Wrecking Crew... ua-cam.com/video/gn35akH09Z8/v-deo.html

    The second song on this clip, "Thank U Very Much" was originally recorded by The Scaffold, and was written by Mike McGear/McCartney. Tom, Dick and Glen re-worked some of the lyrics for this broadcast.

    Saw John H in at a random outdoor,summer folk music festival in the middle of Nowhere, IN, in the middle of a Saturday, in the middle of the 70s. He played fiddle and sang while clog dancing on a large piece of plywood. He’d gone full bore back to his roots as a riverboat country troubador. Very impressive to watch…cardiovascularly if nothing else!

    I love, gentle on my mind. I was a young teenager, fullof hopes and dreams.this song calm my restless soul. Back then we had flower power, Vietnam War, laugh in ( with Goldie Hawn), three dog night, and mama's home cooking. Times were more calm, not like today. Sweet memories. Rip Glenn and John.

    One of the great songs of the 60's, if one were to carefully listen to, or read, the lyrics -- not your typical hero's perspective -- and John's original version from his first album is still the best, although I will never get tired of hearing Glen's.

    I remember in the 60’s tv shows went on hiatus during the summer and had a summer replacement show. When the Smothers Brothers took the summers off Glen Campbell filled in. He was such a hit they gave him his own show, The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour.
