Master guitarist Tommy Emmanuel

Living (and loving) Life

Tommy Emmanuel is probably the best guitar player that most folks have never heard of.

He started playing guitar in his native Australia as a youngster after hearing the late, great Chet Atkins work his instrumental magic over the radio, and he has never looked back since.

Is Glen Campbell’s monster hit “Galveston” really an anti-war song?

Posted on July 5, 2022

Glen Campbell

I have always been a fan of the late Glen Campbell’s music, and one of my favorite songs by Glen has always been “Galveston”.

In fact, I featured that song in a post on here several months ago.

After that post went live I received several angry messages from folks asking why I felt the need to post an anti-Vietnam War song on a site called My Daily Smile.  [Read more…]
