Golf Story
John, who lived in the north of England, decided to go golfing in Scotland with his buddy, Shawn.
So they loaded up John’s minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
‘I realize it’s terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,’ she explained, ‘and I’m afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.’
‘Don’t worry,’ John said. ‘We’ll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.’
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.
Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of golf.
But about nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the golf weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Shawn and asked, “Shawn, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our golf holiday in Scotland about 9 months ago?’
‘Yes, I do,’ said Shawn
‘Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?’
“Well, um, yes!,’ Shawn said, a little embarrassed about being found out, ‘I have to admit that I did.’
And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?’
“Shawn’s face turned beet red and he said, ‘Yeah, look, I’m sorry, buddy. I’m afraid I did. Why do you ask?’
‘She just died and left me everything.

And finally — I’m sure many of you know that Glen Campbell was a highly sought-after Studio Musician long before he became a successful recording artist. What follows is an amazing example of just how good he really was. . .
Subject: The Lone Ranger Rides Again
For most of the 1960s, Glen Campbell’s brilliant guitar playing was known only by a select few top recording studios and artists. But long before Glen became known nationally as an outstanding vocalist, actor and TV personality, he was one of the most in-demand recording studio guitarists in the world.
He could have earned a 7-figure annual income as a high-end studio guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared to do. How good was he?
You’ll see in a moment. Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and white television. Years later, many of us
watched the Glen Campbell show on TV as well.
This video is a clip of a younger Glen Campbell playing the William Tell Overture (with a symphony orchestra) and dedicating it to Clayton
Moore, who played the Lone Ranger, and Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto.
You may never have seen Glen play like this before. This is world-class guitar playing and Campbell makes it look easy. Glen Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra playing Rossini’s “William Tell Overture” will take you back to those golden days of yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini’s masterpiece coming over the radio and TV meant the Lone Ranger show was about to begin.
Click on this video, one you may have never seen before…and re-live those thrilling days of yesteryear!
