Glen Campbell's is far superior.

In fact, I'm a big Glen Campbell fan. My father was a salesman for Ovation guitars when they were a brand new company back in the seventies.

Glen Campbell was one of thier biggest supporters, and had met several times with my father over the course of a year or so.

He came to Long Island and played the Westbury Music Fair during the Rhinestone Cowboy tour, and he gave my father free tickets and backstage passes for the entire family.

Not only did he put on an amazing show, which he always did, but he spent three full hours with us backstage afterwards. He fed us, took dozens of pictures with us, sat down and played some songs for us that he hadn't played in the show.

Remember now that this was at the absolute height of his fame, and here he was being a total southern gentleman and just a hell of an all around great guy.

My entire family were already big fans of his music before that night, but after it? Fans of the man for life.
