Galveston Jimmy Webb For CCJimmy Webb is an idiosyncratic American popular music composer, singer and pianist. While his approach to composing is traditional and orchestral, he wrote for the rock/pop age. Webb's most popular songs were all composed when he was between 19 and 21 years of age during the Vietnam War. In 1969 he wrote "Galveston", a song about an American soldier who pined for his hometown and his girlfriend. I have always thought of it as an Anti-War song. Glen Campbell popularized the song with an almost marching military beat that I dislike. Jimmy Webb recently performed it himself, in the way he intended it, slow and reflective. I've added some images that the song creates for me. The statue in the video is a memorial to the estimated 10,000 people lost in the hurricane of 1900 that swept through the beaches of Galveston. The devastating hurricane still holds the record as the United States' deadliest natural disaster.Other tags: GalvestonGentle On My MindBy The Time I Get To PhoenixDreams Of The Everyday HousewifeWitchita LinemanGalvestonHoney Come BackGalvestonIt's Only Make BelieveRhinestone CowboyCountry Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)Southern Nights By The Time I Get To PhoenixScarborough Fair / CanticleClassical Gas Southern NightsAmazing GraceKing Of The Road Wichita LinemanImpossible Dream, The (The Quest)Just To Satisfy YouSomebody Like ThatRhinestone CowboyGalvestonIf Not For YouHe Ain't Heavy, He's My BrotherGalvestonBoth Sides NowGentle On My MindUnconditional LoveMr. Tambourine Man Dock Of The Bay, (Sittin' On) TheI'm So Lonesome I Could CryJim Webb Ike Hurricane

I send my best wishes to the people of Galveston. You have my prayers for a recovery of your lives. May all of us Americans do the same, and maybe plan to give Galveston our tourist spending. Let's all find a way to support these people!

Thank you Granako. Not only the statue, but have you ever heard of The Balinese Room in Galveston? If you get a chance, please look up the Balinese Room on the internet. I was just at the Balinese Room a few months ago. The Balinese has been in Galveston since 1927. Singers such as Frank Sinatra used to perform there. But hurricane Ike..completely destroyed it. The Balinese Room is the subject of ZZ Top's song.."Down at the Balinese". All of this..very heart wrenching.

I have been sitting here with no power since Friday night (after hurricane Ike hit). The power just came back on a few minutes ago. For 5 days...I had no lights, no air conditioning, no computer, no internet, no television (cable, CNN etc.), and no refrigeration. All food in refrigerator and deep freezer has now spoiled. First bags of ice did not arrive in Houston until Monday (three days after Ike hit). Statue at beginning of this video..now destroyed! Terrible destruction in Galveston.

The government and news agencies have been airing that everyone caught below the level of a third story in a steel and concrete building will drown and be washed out to sea.Most of the city will be destroyed.

Seeing pictures of a flooded Galveston this morning while Hurricane Ike was still 200 miles away is hard to see. Thank you for the great extra info. granako. Like Bakuji said, our prayers are with you Galveston.
