    The 1968 hit by Glen Campbell (written by Jimmy Webb) entitled "Wichita Lineman" there's no T in the wich portion
    The story behind this beauty:
    "Jimmy Webb wrote "Wichita Lineman" in response to Campbell's urgent phone request for a "place"-based or "geographical" song to follow up "By the Time I Get to Phoenix". His lyrical inspiration came while driving through the high plains of the Oklahoma panhandle past a long line of telephone poles, on one of which perched a lineman speaking into his handset. Webb "put himself atop that pole" with the phone in his hand as he imagined the lineman talking to his girlfriend. Despite its real-life roots lying elsewhere, Webb set his song in Wichita, Kansas.

    Within hours of Campbell's plea from the recording studio, Webb delivered a demo that he regarded and labeled as an unfinished version of the song, warning producer/arranger Al De Lory that he had not completed a third verse or a bridge. "When I heard it I cried," Campbell said, "... because I was homesick." De Lory similarly found inspiration in the opening line. His uncle had been a lineman in Kern County, California: "I could visualize my uncle up a pole in the middle of nowhere. I loved the song right away."

    Hey Ant -- If you'll download this collab and send it to me, I'd like to create an animated-panels video to post on YouTube and so that I can easily show it to my mother. It really did come out nicely. I'd download it myself but I'm currently on the free account mode.

    Funny I was thinking of doing the same on my Youtube account. I'm not sure where the option is for all videos. I do know where the entire mixed Collab can be downloaded as a WAV file.

    @Revup67: On this main page, just under the title and your icon, there's a link to Download. It won't let me do it because of the free account, although it'll let me download the Preview video, which is rather horrible video quality.

    @stegokitty : thanks, saw the Download button and the sublist shows "Original and also MP3". Poor wording. Not sure why it doesn't say: Video | Audio . Clicking "Original" does allow an MP4..will do and share back to you
