Jim Croce was a marvelous poet/singer, turned out a pretty stunning
number of classics (including "Time In A Bottle") in a very short span
of 2- years before his odd, mysetrious death in September 20 1973. I
remember that day like yesterday, as Croce was quite an influence on
me, and remains so to this day as some might notice.

Another of those days "the music died".
