This is going to date me even more. Back in the early 70s was at the Troubador in Carlton one night with friends for quite another act, and who should walk in the door but Glen Campbell. He asked mgt if he could do a couple of tunes in the interval between sets. Man that guy could play, even on a borrowed guitar. Was a fantastic night. Mr Campbell ended up playing audience requests and works in progress. Audience maybe 20 people????? and they had to kick us all out at 3 am cos we'd overstayed their licence by enough hours to get the mgt in real trouble. And we were all hoarse from singing along. And he came with us to Stalactites afterwards for pizza. Nicest bloke imaginable.
