Oh, I hadn't heard, but not a surprise as his health had been failing.

Liked him playing along side John Wayne in the movie True Grit. He was talented singer and guitar player. He even played with the Beach Boys for a while when Brian Wilson took a leave of absence. RIP Mr. Campbell.

Written by Jimmy Webb, excellent song. The Meters did a great cover of this song.

I made a post years ago, when he was diagnosed. Can't find it, but until then...


 :(

The wife and I made it to one of his concerts on his final tour, in French Lick IN. It was about the 50th or so show of over 100. He was still in pretty good form, but had to rely on the teleprompters. Until the solo came.

Hard to find long solos, but when you can they are ... really something.

My wife and I saw him on his last tour: he was as nice a guy as the first time she met him, 30 years ago.
What a terrific talent, and a wonderful guy!
