Hey Jab...Glad you were able to express your feelings. I can relate...

D Jablonski

My mom hated this song. 10 kids, no money, etc etc. I'm glad she kept at it I'm #8. My parents did some very good work. But they payed a dear price for that. 35 years together, but not such good friends in the end. My dad's been gone now for 30yrs. When they meet again, It will be a great day for both of them. He'll be able to say all the things he couldn't get to down here. Then, my mom will see , that despite his shortcomings, he did love her more than anything . And he loved us too. He's got some work to do there too. I love this song. Always have.

This song/post was broadcast on AM1070 KNTH in Houston, Texas on 3/31/15. Tuesday is here and it's time to get the workday started. I'm starting with some Maxwell House Dark Roast Coffee (which is just about ready to pour) and the AM1070 5:20 oldie. Glen Travis Campbell was one of 12 children born and raised in rural Billstown, Arkansas. His father recognized his talent early and bought his youngster a five-dollar Sears & Roebuck guitar. The child prodigy had conquered the instrument by the time he was 10. At 16, he left school to pursue music full time. He started in a three-piece combo with his uncle, Dick Bills, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but was soon touring the Southwest fronting his own band. In 1960, Campbell moved to Los Angeles to become a session musician. Around this time he was part of the group The Champs. Soon, Campbell was in great demand as a session musician. He was part of a group of studio musicians who became known as The Wrecking Crew. During this period he played on recordings by Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, The Monkees, Nancy Sinatra, Merle Haggard, Jan and Dean, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Phil Spector. He toured with the Beach Boys for 18 months in 1964 and ‘65, until his own solo career took off. During his 50 years in show business, Campbell has released more than 70 albums. He has sold 45 million records and accumulated 12 RIAA Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums and 1 Double-Platinum album. He has placed a total of 80 different songs on either the Billboard Country Chart, Billboard Hot 100, and/or the Adult Contemporary Chart, of which 29 made the Top 10 and of which nine reached number one on at least one of those charts. "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife" is was written by Chris Gantry and released in July 1968 as the 1st single from his album Wichita Lineman. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Have a good Tuesday.

God bless you Glenn I'll always remember how my mom's face would lite up listening to your music. She left to get her reward in Jesus. I'm sure yours is waiting as well.

Beautiful melancholy song with a somber story of an aging woman who dreams of the man she truly loved and the life she left behind for her husband who sympathizes with her sense of loss.

Reading all the "mom" sentiments has brought a tear to my eye. My mom died 3 years ago and my very best memories were just being around the house with my mother. She was depressed allot and would keep the radio on all the time, even carry it to the bathroom with her when she took a bath. Music played in our house all the time. I was around 7-9 and rem. all the popular Glen Campbell songs. Still love Wichita Lineman to this day! Rem. singing a song I had heard on the AM station while in kindergarten in our back yard......"I Wanna Hold Your Hand"

Does anyone remember hearing the guy on Petticoat Junction singing this in one episode. I must have been 8 and I liked it that night I heard it. I did not know until just now that Glen Campbell did this song!

Jo Ann White

Oh Karen, your words could have been mine, except I was a little older than you. My Mom and I living overseas, listening to Glen on the stereo. She had all his albums, and he was the one person we could always count on to be something we could agree on. Mom loved him so and I did too, although I wouldn't admit it to my "cool" friends. But we shared him and because Mom thought she was too old, (at 39), to join his fan club, I did it for her. We got the fan kit in the mail and pored over it, an autographed photo, his biography, some postcards and a letter welcoming me as one of the first 100 people to join. My mom's gone now, in fact on the 30th of this month it will be 22 years, but this song, an special favorite of ours woke me out of a sound sleep last night so I found it, and listened and began crying, remembering how much I loved my Mom.
