The Poojer Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 it is a jewish cemetary, didn't see any ornate markers, just ground markers and benches, not sure if that is typical of jewish cemeteries Very simple marker - does not lend a clue to anyone about his talent.

UConn James Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) One of my favorites. His songs were such rich stories in themselves, which is surprising when they're each only a few minutes. Retribution for getting hustled, the code of the seedier side of areas, and some great broken romance tunes. There are a lot of artists who'd be ecstatic to have Jim Croce's songbook in an entire career, nevermind in under 10 years of performing.

/dev/null Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 You're buried? 6 feet under in a concrete vault, that's one helluva signal. Who's his wireless provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I want a cell phone with a 555-xxxx number One of my co-workers cell number ends in 1001. I asked her how long she had to wait for that to come available. She said it happened to be the next number available when she got her phone.

HopsGuy Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Meh... There are more molecules of water in a cup of water than cups of water in all the world's oceans. This means that some molecules in every cup of water you drink passed through the kidneys of Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Abe Lincoln or any other historical person of your choosing. Same goes for air: There are more molecules of air in a single breath of air than there are breaths of air in Earth's entire atmosphere. Therefore, some molecules of air you inhale passed through the lungs of Billy the Kid, Joan of Arc, Beethoven, Socrates or any other historical person of your choosing. - Neil deGrasse Tyson Cool pictures, though ...

There are a lot of artists who'd be ecstatic to have Jim Croce's songbook in an entire career, nevermind in under 10 years of performing. If you enjoyed Jim Croce's stuff, I suggest you listen to his son, A.J. Croce. Now, he sounds absolutely nothing like his father, and his music is strictly a bluesy jazz style, but he's outstanding. We saw him perform at his mother's restaurant in downtown San Diego (aptly named "Croces"), and he was terrific. Found this clip from an old Tonight Show. He's performing one of my favorite songs of his: "He's Got A Way With Woman (And He Just Got Away With Mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
