Notes from my personal Way-back Machine

Recently I happened upon an episode of The Chris Isaak Show that featured Glen Campbell.

Did you know that he is 73 and still going strong?

After that I got curious about other aspects of Glen's life and went Google searching.

Right away I noticed that all the biographers skipped over the events of Glen's very early professional experiences.

I say that because in the dim recesses of my feeble memory, it seemed I recalled Glen Campbell being on a rock and roll TV program in the mid sixties called "Shindig." I also recalled that he and the program's host, one Bobby Sherman, had what appeared to this viewer, a running battle for the public's favor.  Sherman was the official host but Glen was quickly growing in the public's favor; viewers were screaming for more of Glen and less of Sherman, thus a conflict ensued and led to difficulties for the program's producers. 

That's the way I remember it and I'm sticking with what I recall. 

I finally discovered some reinforcement for my facts during one search in which I found an article that was published in one large, LA Newspaper and felt vindicated and satisfied that my memories were more accurate than all the biographies I've read online thus far.  That article was published in 1991 and it appears that from that point in time, everyone else simply didn't dig deep enough during their research while composing their Bio on Glen Campbell or did discover those facts and deemed them unimportant.  HEY! All the facts are important to someone.

And to think...all this from an old curmudgeon whom often has trouble recalling what he had for breakfast that morning.

I wonder; how many of you remember "Shindig?" 

For that matter, how many of you even saw a black and white TV?
