and with Glen Campbell even...
=====================================================
'Allo!
Dating my self at the Glenn"Wrecking Crew"(q.V.)Campbell,re:Roy clarke now gone.
Had an flash-back,Campbell was behind the"Pre-Fab Four",ie,Monkees...
Interesting event in early seventies,on the Tonight with Johnny Carson show..I didn't tape...Roy and Glenn both discussing their lean years as roomies in Nashville.
At this point,Glenn sat in Clarke's lap,joking how they only had one guitar.
The two both played on an single instrument,and they played the real lyrics to"Day Dream Believer":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If i had the wings
Of an blu-bird as she sings
That five o'clock alarm would never ring
So wake up sleepy Gene
And tell me is there any scene
For an Day-Dream Believer
And an old closet queen
Old Closet Queen"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this,Johnny Carson was speechless!
He gulped visibly and went on,while there was scattered,un-certain applause from the alleged studio audience.
The two really stopped the show!!
Ah,those were the days of semi-live television...
Any one out there remember this incident??
