Well, then this will really blow your mind... Glen Campbell played guitar on that song.
Campbell was a member of "The Wrecking Crew" during the 60's, even after he gained his own popularity. This group played behind a lot of groups as "ghost players", musicians who played the instruments for other bands, like The Byrds and The Monkees, but even including Sonny and Cher and Frank Sinatra. They were the go-to group when a producer needed a recording done well and quickly, they were all seasoned musicians who normally got it right the first time, cutting production costs. Leon Russel was also part of this group.

I saw a show about the wrecking crew I think on PBS. They said Sinatra really didn't want to be around Campbell because he thought campbell was gay. There was more to it in the show,but in a "nutshell" that pretty much sums up what Sinatra thought of him. My mom used to say "Glen Campbell had such a promising career,but after his fling with Tanya Tucker he really went to hell".
Little flinching there at the end. Not that I blame him.

>9 brits and 1 American on a guided tour of the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. We’d just reached the highest point in the trek and I separated from the group to take pictures on top of a hill/ cliff edge. While I was taking pictures I heard the sound of deep ice cracking behind me. This is where the video starts. As I was there for a few minutes already, I knew there was a spot right next to me to shelter. I was on a cliff edge, so the only place to run was towards the avalanche and away from the shelter next to me (hence why I don’t move). Yes I left it to the last second to move, and yes I know it would have been safer moving to the shelter straight away. I’m very aware that I took a huge risk. When the snow started coming over and it got dark/ harder to breath, I did think for a second that might die.
Once it was over, the adrenaline rush hit me. I knew the rest of the group was further away from the avalanche so should be okay. When I rejoined them I could see they were all safe, although one had cut her knee quite badly and rode one of the horses to the nearest medical facility. Another had fallen off a horse and sustained some heavy bruising.
The whole group was laughing and crying, happy to be alive (including the girl who cut her knee). It was only later we realised just how lucky we’d been. If we have walked 5 minutes further on our trek, we would all be dead. The path we were suppose to take was completely covered by the landslide/ avalanche. Massive chunks of ice the size of cars had been spread further than we could have run, even if we acted immediately.
