Great Jerry, many thanks for this ‘Great’ song lesson. For those interested in the background / life of Jim Croce, there is an excellent doco on youtube ‘Jim Croce Behind the Music’, really allows you to understand the ‘heart’ and ‘energy’ of this great musician who along with his guitar partner Maury, was taken too early in a plane crash at the height of his career.
