One of the first songs my dad ever showed me -- his simple but powerful sound has always been an inspiration and source of calmness for me. RIP
I remember Glen Campbell being one of the few recognizable country singers I listened to growing up with parents that were fans of music from their school years. Guess I'll be listening to some Glen Campbell for a while.
