Glenn passed a while back - look for the documentary on him and the studio musicians (The Wrecking Crew) he played with and for the bands/singers he did studio work for - quite a talented guitarist...
There was a time when Glen, Roy, Clark, and Chet Atkins were probably the three most accomplished guitarist in the business. Some of his music I liked. Some was OK. Glen starred in the original "True Grit" with John Wayne (fortunate to have his music career to fall back on), he was married to hottie, Tanya Tucker, at the peak of of her physical beauty, and they did A Lot of blow. I saw him interviewed not long after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He was upbeat and positive. That is a tough way to go for all involved.
Easy listening music.
