For those of you under the age of about 60 to 65, this won't mean as much.

For most of the 1960s, Glen Campbell’s brilliant guitar playing was known only by a select few top recording studios and artists. Long before Glen became known nationally as an outstanding vocalist, actor and TV personality, he was one of the most in-demand recording studio guitarists in the world. He could have earned a 7 figure annual income as a high-end, requested-for studio guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared do.?? How good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will Enjoy??

Take a look at this video, one you may have never seen before.?? Hi Yo Silver, Away! – It doesn’t get much better than this. "The William Tell Overture” by Giaochino Rossini.?? Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and white television. Years later, many of us watched the Glenn Campbell show on TV as well.?? This video is a clip of a younger Glenn Campbell playing the William Tell Overture (with symphony orchestra) and dedicating it to Clayton Moore, who played the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto. You may never have seen Glenn play like this before. This is world-class guitar playing and Campbell makes it look easy. The sounds of Glenn Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra playing Rossini’s “William Tell Overture" will take you back to those golden days of yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini’s masterpiece coming over the radio meant the Lone Ranger show was about to begin.? ??

That was great! I have a friend who sang back up to the Beach Boys back in the early-mid '60's. Glen Campbell was one of the back up musicians in the band in those days. She showed me a picture of her, her sister and Glenn, singing with the Beach Boys way back when.

audioguy, which in your opinion is the best-sounding vinyl version of "Wichita Lineman"?
