Right now I am reading discussions and interacting with my followers here on MyLot. And I am also taking this time for listening to YouTube and all the good stuff that we can access from there. What a genial site! At the moment the song I am listening to is "Gentle on My Mind " with Glenn Campbell. Terrific guitar playing there. I wonder how he can play so fast! Are you a fan of Glenn Campbell? He has a lot good songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETkzK9pXMio N.B. I don't know why the link is wrong here, it is not meant to be for Bellafonte.
Harry Belafonte - "Banana Boat (Day O)" - 1956

I do enjoy listening to Glenn Campbell. I think it is so sad that he has Alzheimers.

I remember my late Dad as I heard that Banana Boat. He loved singing that song while strumming his guitar while we his kids were dancing delightfully. What a fun memory!

I always wondered the same thing listening to jimmie hendrix on the guitar, so fast, or anyone playing flight of the bumblebee

It is amazing that some people can play the guitar so well and so fast.

I didn't know he had Alzheimer's. It seems he has had it for a while.

I loved his voice. I haven't heard any of his music in years. I need to rectify that. Have a wonderful day.

You know, I do like his music, but I haven't thought of him in forever. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to utube some of his songs.

I watched his TV show faithfully back in the day, and I love that song. I also listened to "Wichita LIneman" the other day.I always liked Glenn Campbell.

My favorite song from Glenn Campbell was "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". Did I ever cried on that one?

Yes, I am a fan of Glenn Cambell and I remember so well this song of Belafonte. I loved it when I was a kid.

Campbell has Alzheimer's so it is a sad unfortunate end.

Thank you for sharing that. That's really a lovely song. Sorry that I don't know about him, but his guitar playing is really terrific! I am mylotting here and holding my baby, listening to his talk.
