I’m not sure how I got tossed into the mix on this particular shoot, but seeing as it was an easy (no possibility of a live shot) HFR, I was extremely gung-ho to do it.

Glen Cambell lives!That’s how my mind reacted to the news that Serene Branson would be interviewing him for a profile story set to air around Grammy Time.

I once worked with a girl who was buddies with Tanya Tucker. She and Glen Cambell were together in the early eighties. That must have been at a more tumultuous time in Glen Cambell’s life. The girl I worked with never had much to say nice about him. Honestly, that actually cast a slight shadow over my interest in helping out on the interview.

It just goes to show you though, you should always keep an open mind. Glen Cambell and everybody around him were all just some of the nicest people.

We met and talked to his daughter and also his wife.

After the interview, Glen and his daughter sat down to play for the cameras.

Can she play? Let me tell you, the daughter played the heck out of that banjo. Their little impromptu duet was an awesome experience.

You never know how celebrities will behave towards the crew. After introductions had been made, Glen Cambell asked me how I was doing.

I told him, I was doing pretty good. A lot of people went to work that day and didn’t get to meet Glen Cambell.

He smiled at that. I think the comment made him feel good. With his health issues, he’s got some difficult times ahead. I’m glad I got a chance to meet him and talk to him at relatively good point in his life.

Sometimes the people we interview do turn out to be nice.
