heppnerguy Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 Nice portrait. I am familiar with the songs mentioned but never payed much attention to who sang them. What made you think of him so many years after he died? Just curious Dick heppnerguy amazingkevin and Charlie E 2 Quote
preprius Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Yep I can sing along with all those songs. "I've got a name" is another song. An addition scrolling piece can be his guitar. Maybe a backing? Edited January 13, 2021 by preprius amazingkevin and Charlie E 2 Quote

Jim Croce -Time In A Bottle (Lyrics) - YouTube I have to agree with you on that. I love Jim's music and often wonder where it would have lead to. Beautiful cutting. Charlie E 1 Quote
ChelCass Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 We have several of Jim Croce's cd's on one is a song *The Ball of Kerrymuir*. It was a rather *naughty* song for the 70's. I crack up laughing ever time I hear it. However I do have a warped sense of humor. Thanks for sharing Jim's Portrait. Charlie E 1 Quote

Fish Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 Great work, I am listening to his music quite often also. After you did the last one of JT I started looking for more to work on. I would like to do one of him and one of Crosby Stills Nash an Young. I think that one would come out good also. Thanks for sharing. Charlie E 1 Quote

ScollSaw Slasher Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 Being a guitarist/singer, he was always one of my favs. Just never could come close to duplicating his sound and enthusiasm that he had in his songs. A great cut! Charlie E 1 Quote
GusGustin Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 I still listen to him all the time .. and play several of his songs on my guitars .. he was just FUN to listen to. I was at the South Pole on an Ice Breaker when he passed. He was a lot of the music we were playing out on the "Helo Deck" on our off time. GREAT JOB ... you should post it up on his Facebook page. His widow used to run the site, not sure who does now. https://www.facebook.com/jimcroceofficial Charlie E 1 Quote
Dave Monk Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 Great cutting. I also love his music. There were a lot of great story tellers in that era. Charlie E 1 Quote
