This song popped into my head as it came on while I was doing some household chores.  It's on my iPhone.  I remember seeing Glen Campbell play it when I worked in the South Shore Room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe.

Although the title cut from an album, it's a great but not well known song.  Here he's alongside the incomparable Carl Jackson.

Hello, Everyone,
We have a country music station here in Ottawa, ON., CANADA, on cable, called, "Country Classics", which plays a whole lot of Glen's music, (but no videos), and "The Legacy" is always on the rotation now. The album cover shows at least part of what appears to be the last Ovation GC 2018 RI with his signature on the fingerboard. You can correct me if I'm wrong on this, of course. I'm not sure whether this could be considered an actual, "Ovation sighting", because it's mostly Glen's signature, the center sound hole, and oakleaf rosette?, but at least, even after his passing, Glen Campbell is STILL identified with the Ovation guitar, although perhaps, inadvertently, by some unknown graphic designer for the record label.

Carl is a thoughtful humble guy. Truly one of the nicest humans around.
This recent PBS documentary is well worth a watch.
