It was Glen Campbell who first got me into country music back in 1969. The song was Galveston, which I initially listened to only because my father was working there.

 

Now I'm very much a country music fan, so thanks Glen! This included the years when as the song says "when country wasn't cool". There's now a revival in Ireland in particular with a 24/7 country station, Keep It Country on Sky and Freeview.

 

It's been sad to watch Glen Campbell's decline due to Alzheimers. There was a tribute TV programme on the BBC a couple of years ago that I've got recorded. Hopefully it'll be repeated.

 

He was a brilliant guitarist who backed a lot of stars before he became famous himself primarily as a singer.

 

I'll certainly miss him.
