    I saw Glen and Instant People for the first time in Freeport, Illinois. the show was so amazing and moving — we went and saw them again recently in Ames, Iowa. It’s tough to describe what it’s like to watch and listen to Glen performing with his children — extremely moving and powerful and just leaves you wanting more! I am so grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of it. And I would love to hear and see more of Instant People…they rock! Saw them backing up Glen on the Grammy’s and would have much rather preferred to see them out in front with Glen where they rightfully belong! Thanks Glen – your music and your spirit and musical talent will inspire me for a lifetime!

    I went to Glen Campbells Concert In Indianapolis. I loved how the Audience protected him through the rough spots. It was beautiful in every way. His kids in the Band are talented like their Dad. A show I will never forget. Try a little kindness!!!

    I, too, like Church Lady, have been a fan of Glenn’s for decades, since 1969. I love his voice and instrumental talent, but just listen to the lyrics of his songs…like “try a little kindness, yes, Lord, show a little kindness.” This is a message that all of humainty can relate to, or should.

    I have been a Glen Campbell fan for over 40 years. He has the most beautiful voice I ever heard. I bought “Ghost on the Canvas” and it made me sad. I know many of the songs were a tribute to his wife, Kim. And that is why it made me sad. What a loss it will be to the world of music when he leaves us.
