The Lone Ranger rides again!


For most of the 1960s, Glen Campbell's brilliant guitar playing was known only

by a select few top recording studios and artists. Long before Glen became known

nationally as an outstanding vocalist, actor and TV personality, he was one of the

most in-demand recording studio guitarists in the world. He could have earned

a 7 figure annual income as a high-end, requested-for studio guitarist for years

on end if that had been all he cared do.



How good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will Enjoy



Take a look at this video, one you may have never seen before.



Hi Yo Silver, Away! – It doesn’t get much better than this. "The William Tell Overture"

by Giaochino Rossini.

Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and white television.

Years later, many of us watched the Glen Campbell show on TV as well.



This video is a clip of a younger Glen Campbell playing the William Tell Overture

(with symphony orchestra) and dedicating it to Clayton Moore, who played the

Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto.

You may never have seen Glen play like this before. This is world-class guitar playing

and Campbell makes it look easy. The sounds of Glen Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra playing Rossini's "William Tell Overture" will take you back to those golden days of yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini's masterpiece coming over the radio meant the

Lone Ranger show was about to begin.

An incredibly talented man.
My favorite was "Wichita Lineman".
Sad, but he is in stage 7 of Alzheimer's.

I can not even think about moving my fingers that fast.
An accomplished guitarist as well as entertainer.

He used to come play on his Uncle Dick Bill's afternoon show in Albuquerque before he made it big!

Awesome
What a talent

Thanks for sharing this. The music brings back such memories. I used to watch the Lone Ranger as a kid and can still remember Clayton Moore's voice over all these years.

I watched it as a kid as well on a huge B+W tv box with a 10" round screen. A few years ago I heard on Paul Harvey's show that someone stole Clayton Moore's pistols + holster rig from his luggage.He still had a good attitude + really believed that whoever stole them would have a change of heart + return them. Thought process from a better time than today.
