who left the world too soon.

2. "Lover's Cross" is one of my favorites. Jim Croce touched with lyrics that we recognized

as genuine.

3. I was so "selfish" mad when he died...

Selfish in that I would not be getting any more fantastic songs. What a shame. Just married with a kid on the way. Career taking off..
I had a buddy flying in a small commuter thru the same storm that took Jim Croce's life. He said it was brutal with the plane bouncing all over the place and dropping like a stone at times..
I was selfish mad when Stevie Ray Vaughn died also....Oh and George Harrison... Him I cried..
Grew up listening to his music... touched my soul like the others.

4. You don't pull the mask off of no Lone Ranger...

and you don't mess around with Jim...

5. I saw Jim Croce, in concert, a few months before he died, some where in South Dakota, or

Nebraska. He was appearing live in a performance in a medium sized city, and I heard that on the radio, (I was traveling alone) pulled off and went to the event to see him live and sing. I think he had one more guitar player, and maybe another singer...not sure. He performed for over an hour and half. Afterwards I continued west to see the monument with the presidents (Mount Rushmore) . I had seen him before ,live in concert in Chicago, but was glad to see him again out west. When he died in a plane crash a few months later, I was stunned, and depressed. His music was beautiful and words very special to me.
