Glen Campbell & Jimmy Webb – MacArthur Park
An evening pause: Recorded in 1988 as part of an album and DVD entitled In Session that was released in 2012, about the time that Alzheimer’s Disease was ending Campbell’s career.
Hat tip Danae.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
This song is often found on lists of both the worst and best song ever written.
Put me in the side of best.
You NEED to listen/watch this clip… It shows an artist that has a TRUE love for their art. Rob you should use it as another ‘Evening Pause’ : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&ei=jrdBW6zHMoLL_QbZ2ZjgAw&q=glen+campbell+-+wichita+lineman+Live&oq=glen+campbell+-+wichita+lineman+Live&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i22i30k1l4.12676.14190.0.14752.5.5.0.0.0.0.160.690.0j5.5.0….0…1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.5.688…0.0.oVBfDxeryvQ
Thanks for that clip. Glen Campbell’s 1968 album, Wichita Lineman is STILL one of my Desert Island Discs.
Maybe not quite PC today, but Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife still pulls my heartstrings.
