He was a much more talented (self-taught, couldn't read music) guitar player than most know, and had a distinctive tenor voice that stayed with him until the end. I heard yesterday that he played his guitar for the other residents in the Alzheimer's facility where he ended up. Not a surprise, as he was always an entertainer.

I grew up hearing him on the radio, and these days hearing Gentle on my Mind, Galveston, Wichita Lineman and By the time I get to Phoenix damn near make my eyes wet.

Thanks for all the beautiful music, Glen. I imagine you're playing duets with John Hartford again.
