I lived in a small community where not only are you going to see your ex everyday They will be with your best friend and you suck on it because this is a small community and it is not easy to find someone. If you ever loved your ex and your best friend you will wish them all the best they can still be your friends if you can let your ego not screw that up It hurts when you lose the one who knows you better than anyone else If you are not hurting then you lost nothing What is pain today will be a warm smile tomorrow

I can't listen to Jim Croce without tearing up. I was born in 1971, my brother was class of 77. I remember sitting on my brothers old yellow Pontiac Grand Prix tank. He had wires running everywhere to speakers from his 8 track. Stacks of 8 tracks everywhere but he always had Jim playing. My brother passed away in 2003 and one of my favorite memories is of my brother and Jim. I play this song and shut my eyes and I am in that seat again next to him.

Sweet and sad story. I grew up listening to Croce my cousin introduced me. Sorry about your brother. I lost my older brother 19 years ago. A lot of things take me back to my childhood, as we get older we get nostalgic. Take care.

Jim was my hero when I was 9 years old. I LOVED his story-telling style. He was also my first experience with death. His passing effed me up for quite a while. Just hearing his voice takes me back to that time: living off-base in Leonburg, Germany, where I couldn't really speak the language yet, but I DID speak the language of Croce. My neighbor friend Barenhart mourned Jim's death, even though he had to interpret MY sorrow to do so. I still miss that man's soothing voice.

Jim was also a song writer and told a song with ever word. His life was cut short when he died in a plane crash. I can't tell you how many times I have replaced his music due to changing formats. My music collection will always have all of his music included. There was so much great music in the 70s. I am 66 years old and have lived fro Bill Hailey and the Comets rock around the clock to the music of today. Much will be here for a minute and then forgotten. Jim's thanks to those who fell in love with his music then and thankfully those that have never heard of him before now hearing him on your show will have the chance to love it as well. Listen and react to all of his music you won't be sorry. Others , Carol King, James Taylor and Nei Diamond just to name a few would also be worth your time. Thank you for helping the music to live on.

His 1974 ballad "Time in a Bottle" reached No. 1 after he died in a chartered plane crash, and years later was the theme to my 1980 junior prom in high school. If you want to hear a fast-paced song by him, he had a No. 1 hit with "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" in 1973.

Pronounced Crow-Chee. Thanks for giving him a listen. He was such a great song writer. He wrote this song, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan wrote a similar song but they were not the same. Check out Time in a Bottle, he wrote it for his unborn son and reviewed it right before he died in a plane clash.

my favorite Jim Croce song and a change of pace from his upbeat Leroy Brown type songs. a gem back then and still is. the lyric "you can keep the dime" gets me every time.

great time capsule song.. today people wouldn't understand needing the operator to place a call and that the cost is a dime.. (for the first minute most likely!).. beautiful song.. beautifully performed. This isn't the Pigpen/Grateful Dead song despite what is in Wikipedia... the songs are similar (so is Chuck Berry's Memphis Tennessee) but lyrically and musically different.

What a beautiful bittersweet sad song ! I remember seeing a video of this with Jim playing to an audience and there is this woman crying in the middle almost unnoticed.

My favorite acoustic guitarist. I would liked to have seen you react to 'I'll Have To Say I Love You (In A Song)' which, to me, is one of his best.
