Current Goal

The goal of the "Galveston" trackable is mainly just to travel far & wide, but if it could travel to Galveston, Texas and have some photos taken there, that would be great!

(Be sure to hide the tracking code when taking any pics with the trackable).

​(Also, please don't "collect" this trackable, as that will take it out of circulation and spoil the fun.  PLEASE do not take this travel bug unless you'll faithfully log it and take it to another cache.  I can't tell you how many trackables I've released which have gone missing or stagnant, often after just being in one cache.  Please respect the purpose of travel bugs / trackables.  Thank you).

About This Item

Galveston

Continuing my theme of naming most of my trackables after songs, "Galveston" is the title song from the 1969 album by Glen Campbell.  Written by legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb, the song was originally recorded by Don Ho who is said to have suggested it to Campbell.  Campbell's version, which came out a year later with slightly modified lyrics, reached #1 on the U.S. Country and Easy Listening charts and #4 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart.  It also reached #2 in Canada, #3 in New Zealand, #5 in Australia, #9 in Ireland, and #14 in the U.K.

While songwriter Webb has described the song as an anti-war song (specifically, from the point of view of a soldier in the Spanish-American War), Campbell showcased the song to a more general audience, probably wishing to avoid controversy with the Vietnam War ongoing at the time.

The song ranks #8 in CMT's list of the "100 Greatest Songs in Country Music" and is also considered by many to be the theme song (unofficially) of Galveston, Texas.
