Glen and Elvis, who became friends, were the country to pop music cross over super stars with their boyish good looks, strong voices and ability to get a song across in a way people could relate to and remember.  

Glen remained a strong singer into his 70s as Alzheimer's began to take its toll on him.  And his prowess as one of the all time great guitar players remained with him even further into his terrible descent into the Hell of this disease.

My dear late wife and I looked forward to his 1st Farewell Tour concert at the CNE in late  August of 2011.

As we approached the CNE band shell, my wife tripped, fell like a stone, and fractured her ankle.

The first aid facility was only 20 meters from the bandstand so we were able to hear Glen's 1st 2 numbers as we waited for the ambulance to the hospital.

And someone did a good quality you tube of the concert which we later enjoyed.  

Catch the you tube and the documentary on Glen if you can.

RIP, Glen.

You really were a great one!
