It's not just us. Guitarist, Duane Sciacqua, commented on one of Jack Tempchin's posts that he thinks "about that man every day".
Jack Tempchin
Please forgive me because I know this sounds stupid but, who is Duane Sciacqua ? Is he a Country singer ? He called Glenn "cuz" . I have never heard of the guy.
He was in Glenn's band for many of the solo years. If you've seen video from Japan 1986 or Dublin 1992, he's the guitarist who isn't Glenn or Danny Grenier.
Oh, ok, now I know who he is. Thank You UTW. I would love to see a YT video of Glenn singing LITF - I bet he rocked it.
This is for those feeling irritated by the "least talented" comments on comments and on some other message boards. It's from Jack Tempchin
I know he's not talking about Glenn's singing and playing or even songwriting; instead, he's talking about what makes it all work, whether it's getting the people together or fitting together the different elements of the music.Glenn was just a stand-up guy and he was the funniest guy that I’ve ever met and he had a tremendous range of talents not only musical but people skils: he was kind of like the team captain. He could pick the players, motivate them. He could make a bunch of people into a unit and also what he wanted out of the music, he wanted the best band in the world. He wanted the best singers, best writers, best players. Not everybody has that goal so he went after the right things and he was able to pull off a lot of stuff that other people wouldn’t be able to.

[about Glenn’s contribution to Peaceful Easy Feeling]
I was just a folky guitar-player so I played it but he put the drums in, the bass and the harmonies and they were such that you could feel the desert wind from his arrangement and from the harmonies and from the feeling. They called him the “Lone Arranger” because he had the ability to just dress up a song and make it work.
Yes, and all of that may be true, but because the vast majority of people only see or hear what is directly in front of them they tend to be uninterested in that sort of detail. He was never given sufficient credit for any of those qualities.
@ Soda -- exactly.
It's been awhile since I listened to this song for the first time. The lyrics are so beautiful.
