Glenn Campbell. Man, I grew up....and I grew old listening to him. When I got out of the service in '67, "Gentle on my Mind" and the Smothers Brothers made him an overnight star.

His songs just resonate in me....

I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

(John Hartford RIP)

..............as do Gordon Lightfoot's. Another Giant of the same era.

It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
And talk about the home town a million miles away
Is the ice still on the river, are the old folks still the same
And by the way, did she mention my name
Did she mention my name just in passing
And when the morning came, do you remember if she dropped a name or two
Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all the games
And by the way, did she mention my name
