Man, I am a great Jim Croce fan. This title really caught my eye!
But I couldn't figure out what Jim had to do with the world of magic lol!

Bad, bad Leroy Brown!
I once saw a special with footage of Jim playing before a large crowd. He seemed genuinely bemused by his own success. His comment, in that inimatable voice was "Man, this is a lot better than playing the " Dew Drop Inn!" And a lot of folks don't realize (this is a fact), that Jim owned an outhouse, and he wrote a lot of his best songs sitting in that outhouse! That's what I loved about the man. He never put on airs. He was true to form "Jim" . What you saw was what you got. Their will never be another Jim.

"Time In A Bottle" has been in my set list for years. It still is, depending on the venue. I love that song!

My wife does too. What I mean is she loves it when I serenade her with that tune.
To me it's just a great example of Jim's musical genius. Like Gordon Lightfoot, Dan Fogleburg, James Taylor and a few others that come to mind, some guys were just BORN to write songs. They are song writing machines. Poets of melody. Jim was one of those kind of guys. Melody and lyrics just naturally flowed out of the man. I've always wanted to have that kind of talent, but I don't. I can sing 'em. I can pick ' em. But I can't write 'em.

I write songs all the time. I actually started writing poetry and songs before I could play guitar. My daughter now co-writes with me, and I really enjoy that. We play in a band together too. We are hoping to get in the studio soon...hopefully sometime this year.

It's weird, but I can write poetry like breathing, but I could never catch on to writing songs. I've tried, but all my songs truly sucked.
