Thanks for honoring James Joseph "Jim" Croce who was a great ballad singer whose lyrics were spot on to so many SGT John " Mac " McConnell. It was terribly sad that he died at the age of 30 when he seemed to be climbing out of debt and he seemed to be full of life with his wife and young child.
It was sad that so many talented artists of the 1950s through early 1970s were mired in debt to recording companies.

Sadly, Jim was only 30. We also lost his fellow guitarist, Maury Muehleisen, 34, in that plane crash. I saw them at Montclair State College, Montclair, NJ, in early 1973. They put on a real nice show. Muehleisen was a great guitarist. Their opening act was legendary bluesman, Albert King. He was a hard act to follow. Left-handed, he played his Gibson Flying V upside-down.
