Advantages: Classic songs sung beautifully, great instrumentalists and orchestra Disadvantages: For me there really are none!
Introduction
I grew up listening to the music of GlenCampbell as my father was a huge fan and had many of his albums back in the 60s and early 70s.
At that time, Campbell was at the peak of his success as a solo singer.
Born in Arkansas in 1936, Campbell began his musical career as a session guitarist and singer, appearing on many classic recordings of the era, including "Tequila" by the Champs and "You've Lost That Loving Feelin'" by the Righteous Brothers. He toured with the Beach Boys and also played on "Pet Sounds".
My father frequently used to rave to me about how good a guitar player Campbell was when I was younger. In those days I didn't really appreciate his skills but its acknowledged these days that he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
When he broke out as a solo singer in the 1960s on the fabled ...
Advantages: Fantastic Scenery, Lots Of Wildlife Disadvantages: The Midges, Difficult To Get To
Glen Affric has been described by many writers of Scottish Books as "the most beautiful Glen in Scotland." It is a place that I have visited many times and having seen this place at first hand and also many other Glens in Scotland I will not try and dispute this claim.
THE LOCATION
Glen Affric lies on the A831 just 24 miles to the West of Inverness, 15 miles from Drumnadrochit, and 65 miles to the East of Fort William.
GLEN AFFRIC
Access to Glen Affric is via a single track Road that leaves the A831 at Fasnakyle Power Station near Cannich.
This Road initially follows the River Affric and then eventually runs alongside the shores of Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin. It is a dead end Road that continues for 5 miles so your return journey will be back along this same route.
Glen Affric is an example of one of the largest surviving ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Glen Affric
Advantages: Unique, original, mysterious and deeply heartfelt. Disadvantages: No decent DVD exists as of yet. Oh, and all that "Worst Film Ever" stuff.
these films on their own terms (and I have been as guilty of the Smug as anyone).
Glen Or Glenda is perhaps the quintessential Edward D. Wood Jnr film. More so than Plan 9 From Outer Space, even, Glen Or Glenda seems to have spilled undiluted from Wood's mind onto the screen, with no compromise, no concessions to any "audience demand" standing in the way of the man's vision.
The film tells of both Glen (played by Wood), a closet transvestite (although he does wander the streets in female apparel as "Glenda") and Alan, soon to become Anne following a sex-change operation. The secondary narrative does perhaps stand as SOMETHING of a concession to the studio's demands (Ed was hired to make an exploitation picture called I Changed My Sex, not the deeply personal I Wear Women's Clothing fever-dream that resulted), but the bulk ...

Album Notes
Personnel includes: Glen Campbell (vocals); Brent Rowan (guitar); The Belmont University Choir. A GLEN CAMPBELL CHRISTMAS was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Southern, Country, Or Bluegrass Gospel Album. Country legend Glen Campbell has recorded Christmas albums in the past, but A GLEN CAMPBELL CHRISTMAS marks the first time he's recorded an entire holiday album of standards--Christmas's greatest hits, if you will. The CD's 11 tracks include all the biggies: "The First Noel," "Away in a Manger," "Joy to the World," "Silent Night," and the like. But be warned: if your idea of a Christmas song is "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" or "Jingle Bells," this isn't the CD for you. Without exception, these songs focus on the religious aspects of Christmas. Campbell's warm, mellow voice is well suited to the material and, with a few exceptions, he resists the tendency many vocalists have to oversing these songs. Even the Belmont University Choir, which joins Campbell on many of the tracks, is fairly unobstrusive, and never overpowers his voice. A GLEN CAMPBELL CHRISTMAS is no groundbreaking work of art, but if your holiday deteriorates into one big blur of greed and over-commercialization, one spin of this CD will instantly remind you of the true reason for the season.
