]]> Comment on Glen Campbell – Guess I’m Dumb by EdtheRadioHead http://ironleg.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/glen-campbell-guess-im-dumb/#comment-6288 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:54:38 +0000 http://ironleg.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/glen-campbell-guess-im-dumb/#comment-6288 I’m a longtime Glen Campbell fan and just heard this song for the first time yesterday. Stumbled upon it quite by accident on YouTube. Immediately fell in love with it. What a FANTASTIC piece and only fitting that Brian Wilson was the brains behind it. Downloaded it immediately and haven’t stopped playing it yet. Had it been released at a different point in history I’m quite sure it would have been a huge hit. Wish the whole world could hear it. Thanks for filling in the holes in your write-up. Certainly one of Glen’s best songs.

I learn something new every day.

I was also into rockabilly at the time and discovered the Thumper Jones tunes on Starday re-issues as well as “Maybe Little Baby” “Just Little Boy Blue” etc.

I defy anyone to listen to “The Grand Tour” without the hair raising on the back of their neck.

Was watching some clips on youtube and in the flat-top days his eyes had the look of a caged animal; you described it succintly above.

The best classic country is indeed soul music, which makes the soulless stuff that passes for country now especially tragic.

He played in a band called The Almost with me, the Mosteller brothers and Bruce Robertson.Your dad hung out with us all the time. He would also set in on practices and play the harmonica. Your dad and uncle and I practiced in the back of Lier’s Music store one time with their friend Sammy Hagar before he went to San Francisco. Your dad was a real nice guy we all liked him alot. I remember your aunt to. She was pretty young back then. This was in the late 60′s. I can tell some stories of back then if you would like. Gary.
