Glen Campbell Songs
A glen is a valley, typically one that is long and bounded by gently sloped concave sides, unlike a ravine, which is deep and bounded by steep slopes. Whittow defines it as a "Scottish term for a deep valley in the Highlands" that is "narrower than a strath".. The word is Goidelic in origin: ''gleann'' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, ''glion'' in Manx. The designation "glen" also occurs often in place names. Etymology The word is Goidelic in origin: ''gleann'' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, ''glion'' in Manx. In Manx, ''glan'' is also to be found meaning glen. It is cognate with Welsh ''glyn''.

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Rutherford
Carl Rutherford (April 25, 1929 – January 28, 2006) was an American Piedmont blues, country blues, and Appalachian music guitarist, singer and songwriter. Life and career Rutherford was born in War, McDowell County, West Virginia, United States. His family's roots in McDowell County could be traced to the 1890s. He was born with spina bifida, and his parents did not enter a name on his birth certificate, not expecting him to survive. He learned to play the slide guitar from his uncle Will Muncy's tuition. Muncy owned reissued records of Frank Hutchison and, by 1942, Rutherford had learned to play in open tuning with a closed pocketknife as a slide, imitating Hutchison's technique. The thumb-and-finger banjo picking of his mother, coupled with his uncle's teaching, left Rutherford picking the guitar with the thumb providing an alternating bass rhythm while the forefinger played the melody. In time he mastered playing rhythm, bass and lead guitar, plus the dobro and banjo. At th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
