In the 80's my parents said to my (ex) wife that they were going to see Glen Campbell at an awful venue on the Qld/NSW border called The Twin Towns Services Club. I should not be too hard on it as my Dad took me to see The Dave Brubeck Quartet there but it is one of those places full of blue haired old ladies playing slot machines and sunburnt tourists thinking they are in paradise. You get the picture.

The ex was insistent that we go so I was basically forced to go. I whined I moaned I groaned and got taken kicking and screaming to see this bloke who I knew from Rhinestone Cowboy a song I was dismissive off to be polite.

Well to put it bluntly he was fucking brilliant. I reckon I was first on my feet at the end calling for more. He not only had a great voice he could actually play the guitar. His touring band was sublime and he had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand.

Just shows ya. Never judge an artist by a song.
