I just wanted to do a music show, with the whole realm of music from Ella Fitzgerald to rock bands like Cream to Kenny Rogers. We had a lot of country, but we did every kind of music. The Monkees were on, and so was Johnny Cash.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I got to play with the big guys, the Wrecking Crew. They just blew me away. I learned a lot of stuff from those guys.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I like to play golf. You know, make a little money, lose a little money. Get 10 bucks, lose 20 bucks.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I listened to a battery radio, old country and pop stuff. Because I was singing all the time, my dad bought me a $7.50 guitar.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I'll tell you, my dad played and sang, and it didn't take me long to figure out that playing a guitar was a whole lot better than getting ahold of a hoe handle or chopping cotton, man.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I've often asked myself, how much information can the brain actually hold? There'll probably come a day when you're able to download it; that's what you have to do when the machine's full.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
You don't play around with a good song. You try to just say it right in the proper place, and if you get the music and voice in tune, you'll be all right. That's always worked for me.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Ah, the Wrecking Crew! They played on everything that came out of L.A. Oh, that was a good band. You really enjoyed going to work. You played for everyone; it didn't matter what it was.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Daddy - I remember when he first let me drive the cultivator for him, you know... He eased you into the hard work that you had to do later.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Some people have said that I can 'hear' a hit song, meaning that I can tell the first time a song is played for me if it has potential. I have been able to hear some of the hits that way, but I can also 'feel' one.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I guess I'm like Roger Miller who used to say that he didn't have as many jokes as he thought he did.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Music is music. It doesn't matter if I am trying to aim at country or trying to aim at pop.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I just tell you, the Lord's been good to me. Even if I was a rounder, He's been really, really nice to me.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
We lived on the farm, and our mode of transportation was wagon and team. No electricity. I'm the seventh son of 12 kids - eight boys and four girls. Mom and Dad handled that very well. But I wanted to get out.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I'm really not a songwriter, so if I hear a song, I feel it and like it, I'll do it. But I'll make it the way I want to hear it.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
If I get a song - a good song - I just sing it the way I hear it in my head. If anybody else wanted to add whistles and bells and chains rattling, that's fine. Just not too much. I actually just do things as straight ahead as possible.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I realize you are going to make mistakes through life. Just don't make any bad ones, you know. Like all of my records are perfect records, but I did make mistakes on them.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I felt my music wasn't aiming at anybody. Everything I was doing was because it was a good song.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I still love making music. And I still love performing for my fans. I'd like to thank them for sticking with me through thick and thin.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I was very candid in my book because I want people to know the truth... and that people can change for the better.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
I'm a take-me-as-l-am person, and all the rest is water under the bridge. You can't change yesterday any more than you can predict what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
It was Dec. 22, 1981. I figured I had messed up enough, and I decided to have a little faith and let God take over. It definitely straightened my act up in a hurry.
Quote by -Glen Campbell
Great stories start with great opening lines. 'I'm a lineman for the county' - what a great way to start a song.
