In that link to Operator you posted you realize it is just him, his fellow guitarist/back up vocalist, 2 guitars and 2 stage microphones. That is it, before a live audience......and they nailed that song. I didn't look at the video but I bet it's off a DVD called "Have You Heard Jim Croce Live". I think all the songs on the DVD are like that. He also goes into details about some of his songs like Bad Bad Leroy Brown which was inspired by a guy in his unit. It also gives some details about his life. I bought the DVD second hand but it's well worth new price for anyone who likes his music.
If you really want to tell how good a guitar player someone is take away the electronics and hand them an Acoustic. He was great.

Thanks for the post. One of my all-time favorite Christmas songs, and it IS a Christmas song.
Jim Croce was just hitting his creative stride when he died in that plane crash.
Some people do not have a high opinion of "contemporary" Christmas songs but as good as the traditional songs are, there's always room for more contemporary Christmas music.

Brings us back, doesn't it?
I went to a live acoustic house concert on Friday. It was amazing. Good music lives on.

Jim Croce was just hitting his creative stride when he died in that plane crash. He really was, and from all accounts just a purely decent and hard working human being.

Another Christmas, and that
sigh still hangs in the air.
Thanks for the ping, SP.

Another song writer of that era died within the last year or so. Joe South who wrote and sang “Don’t it make you wanna go home”.

Hoisted many a beer listening to Jim Croce. Time in a Bottle was classic Croce.

Yes he was. As was Jimi Hendrix.
We should do a thread on this piece alone. Maybe I will.

I remember that day as a kid, I think it was the first time I knew of a contemporary celebrity that died so suddenly.
