RIP — Jim Croce
Sunday marked the 35th anniversary of the tragic death of Jim Croce. Jim died in a plane crash that took the life of his accompanist and friend, Maury Muehleisen and four others in Natchitoches, LA. Personally I have always been drawn to Jim and his music gives me a peaceful feeling. Perhaps it’s because of his homespun, easy way with a song or it’s the fact that my mother played Jim Croce habitually as I was in her womb. Who knows? Here are a couple of his tracks for you to enjoy.
“I Got A Name”:
“Lover’s Cross”:
Rest In Peace Jim.
