I love me some Jim Croce - What a talent cut short in life.

Jim Croce was fantastic! I'm almost 48 and I can remember hearing about his death on TV and radio. Whenever I stumble onto a rare night of drinking and kareoke, that song is usually one of the ones I bellow into the microphone, along with Judas Preist's You Got Another Thing Comin', The Who's Behind Blue Eyes, and Charlie Daniel's Uneasy Rider!

As an accomplished guitar player of over 36 years myself, I can attest Jim Croce never really got the credit he deserved. Many of his songs are comprised of cords and variations thereof not often used in most music. If he hadn't died.., WOW!! Think about the music we missed out on! Patsy Kline as well. I'm a metal and blues guy, but I like other stuff, too. As a musician you have to appreciate all of it. By the way, I really like the way your blog is layed out. Come visit my boring page sometime. Later.

Loved Jim Croce -- but now I have that darn song stuck in my head.
