From a side conversation about music and musicians on a mil-email string last night…
It went from Bill Withers, who was in the Navy for nine years before he became a songwriter, to Glen Campbell and his song Universal Soldier.
And a discussion about his ability to play multiple instruments, including his famous instrumental duet with Roy Clark on Hee Haw back in the day.
But this one takes the cake. He also knew how to play the bagpipes! I’d never seen this one!!! Note the bagpipes are in the Clan Campbell tartan…
Simply amazing, IMHO.
DANG!! That truly is amazing-he just picks it up and wails on it! That’s awesome!
Thanks for sharing-that’s great!
Mr. Campbell was a very talented musician, and is greatly missed.

JLM- It is!
drjim/LL- That he was.
That was FINE!!! Thanks!
Sam- You’re welcome!
Wow – that really was a surprise – and awesome.
Roy- It surprised me too!
How can you tell when someone is playing them well?
Asking for a friend.
Despite my musical taste being all over the place, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Glen Campbell. That was great!
I did not know that he could play the pipes. Cool post for St. Paddy’s Day eve …
Ed- Dunno, I’m half deaf…
Mrs.C- He was a great one!
BP- Yep, I should have saved it for tomorrow.
Nice one. Awesome.
LSP- You’re welcome!
Glen Campbell was such an under appreciated musician and actor. He truly was a very talented man and God Fearing. I have a lot of his albums and listen to him often. He was a rare man in Hollyweird.
