Any Jim Croce Fans Out There?
 

My earliest recollection of music is that of Jim Croce. When I was in the 5th grade my teacher, Mr. Lind, would bring in some of his records and play them for us. Well, one that stuck in my head at that young age was a Jim Croce album. I have, all of my life enjoyed his music. For his short time here he left quite a great career behind, short as it was.:( My teacher told me of how he had been killed in a plane crash just a few years earlier. I am right now listening to an album of his I got for Christmas.....really, really great music. Very relaxing to listen to.:grins: :btu:

how can you not love bad leroy brown? :D

"I Got A Name";) What a beautiful song.:D

operator- great song! and who was the baddest man in the whole damned town?

good stuff :uhuh:

Got Bad Leroy playing right now!:D

Like a pine tree lining the winding road...........................

You got it Moose...such a talented songwriter, and taken from this world way too young!:(

I think i was about the same age as you larry when i started listening to him. You dont tug on supermans cape, you dont spit into the wind, you dont pull the mask of the ol long ranger and you dont mess around with JIM....

Don't mess around with Fred!;)

Ya, Jim is the Man.

WhenI was a kid, my family had this (HUGE) dog
(I think it was a great dane, st. bernard, and a few others mix)
Want to guess how he got his name?

"Time in a Bottle" was one of the songs I played at my wedding. He was probably one of the Best Songwriter/Poets of our time.


Its a friggin shame that kids today think Eminem is that to this generation :huh:


Been working on my daughter, I have her listening to the Beatles, CSNY, and Loggins and Messina....there is hope :D

Pretty sad comparison TDF....I don't envy the kids today....music has no heart, no substance...just a bunch of noise!:smash:

Wow Larry, that makes ya sound ooooold.... There is alot of different genres of music. True there is some aweful crap out there. But, one of my Favorites of all time is still pretty mellow, and not to "noisey".... :rolleyes:

Call me old then cause todays music sucks out right!:yak:

See all these losers on the music scene today they have to "sample" the classics to make their music or just outright cover the song....no creativity, no originality!:sleeps:

You're old:laughs: :D

I will give you that, the majority of the lip sinkers around today do suck, and are nothing but fasion shows put to music. But, in my opinion there are a few that do not fall into that catagory...Jack Johnson for one, Dave Matthews though he is not "new" but he is of this generation...David Gray, he has been around but he just had his first cd put out not too long ago..(DM "found" him)...But, WTF do I know, my favorite genre is Reggae, ya mon...

and I will admit, I do like scantily clad 18yr olds bouncin and traipsing around in jeans that barely come up high enough to cover their kooch......
(perv in a surfcaster's clothing) :heybaby:

Wait until you have a daughter....that'll change :(

TDF...... I do:rolleyes: ......I don't think that will make ya turn a blind eye to that kinda eye candy....

My girl was someones daughter too, but it didn't stop me from lookin :drool:
and IMHO she is a looker:hee:

I know what you mean...but it is scary.

Its more the fact that you see 12 year old girls dressing that way because of the Brittanys and the Christinas of the world.

TDF I hear ya, my niece 14 yrs old makes me wanna go get her a robe to wrap around her, all I can do is shake my head and wonder..Personally, I think it is pretty sad.........I am hoping by the time my 6yr old gets to be around that age that 1 piece bathing suits w/skirts will be in again:rolleyes:

Jim is good
plenty of good new music out there...just have to know where to look

There is "some" Slingah but that end of the pool is pretty darn shallow!;)
