The poor guy's been on a downward spiral for years. What did he have?....Alzheimer's?
He was a hell of a guitarist and entertainer.

Glen was one of my favorites, as I've often said here. On his first day entering the nursing home in Nashville, his wife took him into the living room where he saw many people assembled. Assuming that he was giving a concert, Glen stepped onto a coffee table and put on a long show with his songs. At the end, he thanked everybody for coming...then he went to a couch and took a nap.
Glenn started out as a session musician in Los Angeles, and the group became known as the Wrecking Crew. Usually playing collectively in varying configurations, often anonymously, they backed dozens of popular acts on numerous top-selling hits of the era. They are now widely considered one of the most successful session recording units in music history. After the initial success of Phil Spector's records and his "Wall of Sound", they became the most requested session musicians in Los Angeles, playing behind many popular recording artists such as Jan & Dean, Sonny & Cher, Barry McGuire, the Mamas & the Papas, Frank Sinatra, and Nancy Sinatra. They were sometimes used as "ghost players" on recordings credited to rock groups, such as the Byrds' debut hit rendition of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" (1965), as well as the first two albums by the Monkees, and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1966). It is said that when Glen arrived at the Wrecking Crew recording sessions, the entire group was energized by his presence. He was considered one of the five best guitar players in the World, even though he couldn't read music. He had an ear for music, and he could instantly learn how to play any song. I don't think Glen would want us to mourn his death, but instead just remember him and his music: A tribute: His last recording: |

If everyone knew of all the records he played on, he would have millions more fans. RIP, Glen.

He was a good entertainer. My dad really liked him especially the song Wichita Lineman because my dad worked as a lineman for 36 years. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God.
