Few names bring back more pleasant memories for Baby Boomers than Glen Campbell. He was a folksy singer who had a wonderful personality, topped off by a TV variety show many of us watched regularly.
Alzheimer's is stealing his beautiful mind. My brother, who is in Utah visiting family, attended a Glen Campbell concert last night. It's his farewell tour. Charles told me Glen's two sons and a daughter were performing on stage with him and helping him. Charles said Glen stumbled over the words a few times, and his children would help him. Also, they helped him at times with his efforts to talk.
Charles' most touching story involved the reaction of the crowd. He said when Glen Campbell was singing, if he began to stumble over the words, the crowd would take up the song and sing it for him and with him. Deeply touching. I like that.
