2017 - August 9 - Ghost On The Canvas

I'll gladly confess that I didn't know much about Glen Campbell. Of course, I had heard Rhinestone Cowboy before, but that was about it for me. Then Ghost On The Canvas was released in 2011, just around the time he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's - or at least when it became publicly known. I was curious, and I believe the digital album was on sale at Amazon.com, so I picked it up. I heard the title track, and I fell in love with what I heard.

Glen Campbell died yesterday, and while others may play Rhinestone Cowboy or Wichita Lineman, I choose Ghost On The Canvas to celebrate the artist Glen Campbell, who didn't stop creating in the face of Alzheimer's.
