        I don't often sing along with tracks on the radio when driving, but Glen had that sort of voice that carried atmosphere, nostalgia, and a story in his lyrics, so I would be there being cruel only to myself. We're losing the "Greats" and there doesn't seem anyone on the horizon to replace them. A great singer and so talented.:love30:

          Such a lovely voice. I was surprised to learn he suffered Alzheimer's. RIP and thank you for the music

            Also a good actor too, as shown in the brilliant " True Grit " alongside John Wayne.

                Could you spare him 10 minutes of your time? This is a lovely synopsis, despite being 4 years old ...
