Bob Stroud saluted Jim Croce this morning on his Rock and Roll Roots Show on Chicago's Drive, 97.1 FM. Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of the plane crash at Natchitoches, Louisiana, that claimed his life at age 30 on September 20, 1974.
He was just hitting it big and we'd heard him for about 14 months, then, it was all gone. Croce had a way with telling stories such as "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," "You Don't Mess With Jim," "Time in a Bottle, " and my favorite of his, "Operator."
I even have his Greatest hits CD on my Ultimate Juke Box. You just have to wonder what could have been had his life not been cut so short.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
