    My dad played lead guitar with Mr. Cambell and Mr. Webb. I love playing this song for the memories and the beautiful chord structure. Great job and beautiful voice there Larry.

    I'm a professional musician...a jazz guitarist and I am visiting my brother in Miami who has just introduced me to this musician that in my regard is an out-of- this-world entertainer...the reason why l became an instrumentalist is that I can't be as versatile as he is...a much valuable musician for a good band...hats off for you Mr Larry L...Mariano Vico,guitarist and English teacher from Havana Cuba.

    Hi Larry, I got hooked to your videos several years ago. I'm french and I moved to Montreal/Canada 25 years ago. I never heard anything about Glen Campbell then I heard this great cover. Thanks for that. Now I'm in love with that style of country songs.

    The algorithims have brought you back to me, Larry. As always, your covers are just a pure joy. It's taken me a couple of your videos today to finally come to terms of my deep sadness. I will miss you but I will never forget you. God willing, may your beautiful covers continue to reach and touch many more on YTube. God bless you Larry. I know you're still singing and playing that guitar in heaven.

    I keep coming back to this song, like it's haunting me or something.
    When I first listened to it yesterday, I knew it was special. I had to go listen to the original to see if it was just the song and the lyric. I ended up listening to all the versions on you tube, including James Taylor's Grammy nominated version and Larry, my humble opinion is, that yours is, hands down, the most incredible, heart felt, beautiful version there is. End of story.

    After all these years, you're still the best at Glen, and this is the best version of Wichita Lineman ever. You are missed greatly.
    In 100 years, people will still be loving this. Isn't that as close as any of will ever get to immortality?

Thanks for your attention to exact details in your execution of the chords to all the songs you cover ,your playing is top notch.

      . . . Never give up on owning your own
      ADAMAS ‘ghaus’. I had an ADAMAS II in the mid-to-late ‘80s after a couple of Ovations. Had to sell her on at a difficult time. Finally bought my first
      ADAMAS I, bought ‘as new’ although previously owned by someone who hardly ever took it out of it’s case - by the look of it. ‘Reverse Blue Burst’ with a cutaway; it’s sound, tone and timbre is unmatched - especially plugged in. Decades ahead of it’s time when first released in 1976.
      Still is .
