  • Glen Campbell's Songs Soar As His Mind Fades
    DECEMBER 2013/JANUARY 2014 BY SUSANNAH GORA Glen Campbell’s Songs Soar as His Mind Fades As Alzheimer’s disease takes its toll, the famed singer’s spirit stays strong. The music video for "Hey Little One" shows an older man strumming his guitar and singing a low, slow ballad. His voice has weathered with age, but we'd know it anywhere: it's the voice of "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy," a voice that has won five Grammys, sold 45 million records, and blended country music with pop before it was cool. It's the voice of Glen Campbell. Hearing him tell his stories in song has always been a powerful experience—maybe more so now, because Campbell has Alzheimer's disease (AD). NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images In the video (for a track from Campbell's latest album, See You There), we also see Campbell's wife of more than 30 years, Kim. She holds her husband's hand as they look out at the ocean and the horizon together. It's a poignant reminder that AD changes the lives not only of those who have the illness, but also of those who love them. A Widespread Disease Campbell is one of 5 million Americans with AD, defined by the National Institutes of Health as "an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to carry out simple tasks of daily living." (See "Alzheimer's Disease: The Basics" below.) AD begins with memory loss because the disease "starts in brain areas important for memory, such as the hippocampus," explains Janet Jankowiak, M.D., a geriatric neurologist and member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • GLEN CAMPBELL DEBBY CAMPBELL by Tamela Meredith Partridge “Herald & Review” Newspaper Decatur, IL
    GLEN CAMPBELL DEBBY CAMPBELL by Tamela Meredith Partridge “Herald & Review” newspaper Decatur, IL. © 2008 Even after 50 years in the mu- sic business, Glen Campbell is still considered a triple threat -- ace guitarist, singer, and humorist. "As the late, great, Roger Miller used to say, 'I don't think I'm half as good as I really am,'" Campbell says with a laugh. "All kidding aside, I just hope that the audience leaves the show with a smile and are thoroughly entertained.” Campbell will perform at The Rosebud Theatre in Effingham on Sunday. "I've been fortunate to maintain a great band with long-term members," Campbell says. "I've also been blessed to have my daughter Debby as a vocalist in my shows since 1987. Debby has a wonderful voice and joins me on duets I recorded with such artists as Bobbie Gentry ("Less Of Me," "Let It Be Me," "All I Have To Do Is Dream") and Anne Murray ("I Say A Little Prayer")." Glen Travis Campbell, 71, was born the seventh son in a sharecropper's family of twelve children in rural Billstown, Arkansas. A child of the Depression Era, Campbell overcame difficult times through music. “I can’t ever remember a time in my life when I wasn’t playing the guitar,” Campbell says. At 16, Campbell pursued music full-time by playing guitar in his uncle's western swing band and other local groups. Moving to Los Angeles in his early twenties, Campbell became a top session player on recordings by such artists as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Jan & Dean, and the Righteous Brothers.

  • Wichita Lineman-Story
    The Wichita Lineman On a summer day in 1968, songwriter Jimmy Webb was driving on a road in Oklahoma. There were no houses along the road, and no trees—just grass in every direction. Next to the road, there were telephone poles. The poles were in a straight line that went all the way to the horizon. In the distance Jimmy saw a man on a ladder near the top of a telephone pole. He was a lineman. His job was to check the telephone lines to make sure they were OK. At that time, private companies did not own the telephone lines; county governments owned them. So the man was an employee of a county in Oklahoma—he was “a lineman for the county." As he got closer, Jimmy could see that the man had a phone in his hand, and he was talking to someone. What was the man saying? Perhaps he was reporting that there was a problem on the line. Or perhaps he was reporting that the line was OK. After he drove past the lineman, Jimmy couldn't stop thinking about the work he did. It was a lonely job, Jimmy thought. What did the lineman think about all day? Maybe he thought about someone he loved. Maybe he thought about the weather. Maybe he worried that next winter a snowstorm could take down some wires. Or maybe he hoped for rain so that he could take a small vacation. Jimmy wrote a song about the the lineman. Although he had seen him in Oklahoma, Jimmy imagined that the lineman lived in Kansas, near the city of Wichita.
