Glen has lead an interesting life. His uncle, Dick Bills, was a CW musician out of Albuquerque. In Glen's early professioal years he would record a CW hit, try to cross over into mainstream music, then go back to country. He finally pretty much stayed with country. Frank Sinatra may have "discovered" Glen during a recording session. He walked over to Glen during a break and said something like "Nice picking, son." The two hit it off and it went on from there. At least that is how I heard it.
