    I know @Loraine Glenn C songs are great. The original had so much going on that I didnt have. So I made a campfire unplugged version. Some were not happy that it was not a clone rendition. But the overwhelming majority were good with it. Nice to know I didnt miss the mark. Thanks for listening in and commenting.

  Great song. I understand that Jimmy Webb wrote this song after being asked by Glen Campbell to follow up on By the Time I get to Phoenix. Very few songs have successful follow up songs. Jimmy supposedly got the inspiration while driving l long stretch through Oklahoma and seeing a lone lineman working at the top of a pole and imagined the lineman talking to his girlfriend.

    Thanks @albert_d I did electrical instrumentation public utilities for 35 years 8months worked many hrs with the linecrew. Always long hrs and longing to be home instead of callouts. Just always related to the song made a campfire version the original had way more instruments than I had. So I unplugged it campfired it nice to know I didnt miss the mark.
