Dick Bills and the Sandia Mountain Boys

Glen Campbell was born in 1936 to a share-cropper family in rural Arkansas, the 7th out of 12 children.  He was taught guitar at a young age by his uncle Bob; and in 1954, he joined his uncle’s band that was known as Dick Bills and the Sandia Mountain Boys.  His uncle had a radio show as well; and Glen also appeared on a children’s program, K Circle B Time, on KOB-TV.  In 1958, Campbell started his own band, the Western Wranglers.
