Read the extraordinary warnings of prophet Linda Newkirk
Most definitely the most amazing prophecies on the web, The coming Obama Assassination, The Appearance of the Two Witnesses, The False Rapture/Alien Invasion, The Truth About Revelation 12, The New Madrid Fault To Split the USA in Half.
These are very profound messages from Jesus... Prophecies Org
Everyday I think of Jim and Maury and I'm so hooked on the music they left I want to know all I can about them! I had the privilege this summer to go see where they played their final concert and visit the airport and see the plaque that hangs in the natchitoches airport lobby! It was so humbling and the sinking feelings in my gut to know this was the last stop for Jim Maury and four other men! I am thankful to be able to make the trip and remember these remarkable men!
This song is completely awesome! Maury smoked the guitar licks! This is my favorite song, then I listen to the others and think the same thing! Wow, can never get tired of listening and talking about Jim and Maury! The best ever!
So glad ya got Hard Time Losing Man up too! One of Jimmy's funny songs and more than once story of my life. Especially the part bout gettin high on oregano!
I have been hearing Jim's music since literally before I was born.. as He was and is my Mom's favorite artist..I've loved alot of different music in my 40 yrs.. but I always come back to His music, like a dream from childhood..memories of better times..His is the music that heals me when I need it. Thanks for posting these songs and keeping His music alive. RIP Jim and Maury...
SHUT THE LIGHTS CLOSE YOUR EYES THINK OF THE HAPPIEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE AND YOULL BE YJERE WITH ME AND JIM YOU DONT HAVE TO LOSE THAT DREAM THE RIGHT PERSON CAN TAKE TOUBACK TO GEORGIA //REQUIREMENTS TRUE LOVE HE$YOU HAVE A GOOD TRIP LOVE C SOMEWHERE IN TIME YHEY WENT THERE SO CAQN U
THIS ISWHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY MUSIC DELIVERSYHE MESSAGE WEVE ALLKNOW HOW IT FEELS WHEN WE DREAM ALONE WANNA COME ALONG GETTING READY TO WALK BACK TO GRORGIA ROOM FOR TWO MORE
many many thanks to the girl who pointed me in JCs direction in 1989 on a FAS course in Baldoyle Dublin Ireland..have been a huge fan since and always will be..my kids have JCs songs on their IPODs ! quality never gets old
another thought. i wonder when they'll make a movie about him. it would be nice to have these songs revived. both of my children that are living with me have grown to appreciate these songs cause they touch that place that connects to your heart. when my daughter was on a heroine bender and left town, i posted on her facebook a recording of Box # 10 and New York's not my home. I think that connection helped her kick the horse.
I find it hard to think how prolific Jim was in such a short time on the planet. But what strikes me even more is that for a man who was with one woman nearly his entire life, he had such a firm hold on the emotions of lost love. Often when I listen to his music, I find myself washed in the loss I felt after marriages failed. Yes marriages...plural. Even though in those cases it didn't end with good relationships, I find myself with warm, wonderful feelings about the time we had.
@onthetubebaby Perhpas he had lost loves before he met up with his wife Ingrid, or maybe he just had the ability to write about people different from himself, like Leroy Brown and Rapid Roy.
I love how one minute you can be listening to a happy, cute song, then all of a sudden you get one like this and it's like you hit a brick wall. It makes you feel and think things you don't get with modern music.
Jim Croce's songs make you realize how precious life is and the relationships that you form. You only come this way once but leave footprints forever.
About 8 yrs ago I was digging through boxes in my parents basement and found my Aunt's old record collection. I then purchased a record player & was rooting through her vinyls when I came across Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim". I will never forget that moment when I pressed play and sat down on my bed as I watched the arm move from the resting position and lower itself down until the needle met the vinyl, there was several seconds of crackling and then I first heard his voice. Magic
@sneakyrobot No, it isnt, it is actually a lot different, Leroy Brown is peppier, uses different chords, and is quicker, these two are two entirely different songs
@dakirk1000 Wanna explain yourself?If you're capable of 'lispless/non-harelipped speech'.I love this song :it's always been one of my favourite J.croce songs.....Call me what U like (ain't my problem .it's yours!) .but have 'what it takes ' to tell me why/what for - otherwise : well if I'm the 'Ass'(actually related to the 'Equus'/Horse family)well you're the HOLE!!!!!!Enjoy the abyss lil'fella'!!!!!XXXcreashonrebel.
Remember pulling over and crying when I heard the news...9/20/73. Three days after I turned 18 and even as a kid I knew it was a great loss. Beauty is that the music lives on...
@Waited40years I was about 16 years old...playing basketball in the schoolyard when word passed around about Jim C. Somehow, it just didn't seem fair... and it still doesn't. But as you note, the music does live on, and always will.
Sept.20,1973,I remember like it was yesterday.A beautiful,fall like day in Iowa,on my way home from work I heard the newa and my heart sank.When I got home,I laid on the floor and for the first time since I was a child,I felt like crying.As far as I was concerned,that was the day the music died.
@raaron44 At 51 years old I can say that no singer has touched me the way that Jim Croce has with his music. He has been a friend that you never forget.
@riversidetopgog You said it! Even as a kid as I listened to Time in a Bottle I remember it literally piercing through my 9 year old body straight to my soul and man I really felt it. I think everyone is struck by sadness with this song on so many levels. The gutar, Jim's voice, the beauty of it all. Everyone's wish to save everyday for eternity. Wow, what a decade for music and men like Croce. It aint happening again that's for sure.
@MsWilliams1962 Wikipedia says it was a single tall tree. I have never seen it or been there so I can't say for sure. We have sure lost a lot of talent to small planes and cars though.
@raaron44 I get chills when I read this, just because I know I would have felt the same way. I'm a girl of 19, and some of Jim's songs are the reason I haven't given up. They bring up memories that are painful, but it's stuff that I need to think about. Things worth remembering aren't always good, he's helped me to keep that in mind. Mr. Croce's music even helped me get through my mother's death recently. He was a powerful force, and this is coming from someone born after he was gone.
Guys like Croce, Dylan, Lennon, etc... always seemed to be able to articulate life experiences, insights, lessons of older people while still in their 20s. Really amazing, a true gift.
I was born in 1972 and the first music i remember hearing was Jim. My mom played him for me all the time. i still have those same records. Jim created a soundtrack for life. Everyday experiences,happiness and sadness. My dad had a friend named Jim and when i was 3 ,. ii was scared of him because "You don't mess around with Jim" . I thought the song was about him. Thank you Jim Croce for being apart of my life.
we get lost in wondering what everyone else's comparisons are to a particular song or artist and then disregard how we actually feel about them...i mean, why do we do this? Georgia is a great, wonderful song about long-lost love, one all of us have had in our lives.. Peace, Jim. You know we love ya.
@692ALBANNACH Would you believe less than 8 or 9 months? It's pretty close. When Jim learned he was about to be a father, no real cash on hand he had two choices, regular job or get down to business that's to say 100% of what he and Maury truly loved to do or walk away. He and Maury's extrodinary talent hid themselves away most of 1971 and after Jims boy was born emerged in early 1972 with a tape that defined two truly talented guys that we'll probably never see or hear again. Happy Birthday
I was born in 1973, We lost jim about 6 months later. My father had every album available from Jim. To this day I still listen to those albums. My Hope is that Jim will be in Heaven. Jim's music and voice is second to none.
@whiskeytangoET Now about 9,300 views, but I agree with your point. The problem is that youtube is a young person's medium. That's why a Miley Cyrus song will have over 45 million views and this about 9,300. Youtube needs more users in their late 50s, like me.
And to think this is a song that DIDN'T make radio's Top 40. Amazing. But trust me, back in 72-73 Jim was as hot as any artist out there. You just knew in your gut this guy was the real deal. Nothing but that terrible tragedy could have stopped him.
makes you really beleive in love but jim had a way of making you feel things that way!! first time i heard this song i was driving through the Rocky mts and i had to pull over and have a smoke.. Amazing.
I was wondering for years just what Macon was . Then I saw a Tv program about it plus I got an ipod , finally the song makes sense to me. Thank you so much for posting. Happy days.:)
How has he been so successful at haunting me for 40 years? I love this man...RIP
