This is really, really "Spectacular"!

The Lone Ranger theme... Brilliant

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 studio guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared to do. How good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will enjoy!
This video is a clip of a younger Glen 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.
This is world-class guitar playing and Campbell makes it look easy.
The sounds of Glen 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.

Sorry, but I don't think that's possible. It must be digital magic. He's not even looking at his fingers!
Excellent!
Seems it was just recently in the news that even with his current problems he could still play and his final album was just released within the last two weeks...
EDIT: As I read a bit more, apparently his wife said in March of this year that he could no longer play. It also appears that the new album "Adios" had some pieces recorded five or more years ago.

The LATE Glen Campbell? Where did you get that information???
He arrived twenty minutes late for the show.
He is still living! But in bad shape with Alzheimer's. Very sad.

Rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
Brings back memories of what was my childhood entertainment. Unlike today it kept imaginations fertile. I love that kind of music although it makes it hard to still while it is playing.

Thanks Brian. I enjoyed that.
As Mark Twain said....“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
News of singer Glen Campbell’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the June 2017 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the singer best known for hit songs like Rhinestone Cowboy, Galveston or Gentle on My Mind is alive and well.
Luckily, you can always go to Spotify with a free account and listen again and again to most all of his albums and songs.
Same with Joe Cocker, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Greg Alman and other artists that have ceased recording or passed away. The quality is plenty good, even with a free account, you just get commercials every now and then between songs.
I myself prefer Spotify since you can listen to complete albums, vs other internet radio sites.

Glen is a wonderful entertainer, loved his music and he could play that guitar. I remember listening to Glen and Roy Clark play their guitars together, this was always the best part of any show to me. Thanks for sharing.
