Jim Croce Cover - Time In A Bottle

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/shadows-of-the-past/id493434145
Jim Croce is a brilliant singer and songwriter who generated wonderful fingerstyle acoustic guitar sound for his songs. I got my first Jim Croce tape when I was about 10 years old and listened to it many times with the intention of learning the songs and then playing them with my own guitar. I managed to get around the sound of his guitars but not as accurate as they sounded in his tape. The way I play his songs has not changed until now. I'm surprised to find out later when I watched his performance in youtube that there were actually two guitars playing, his and that of Maury Muehleisen. This made me realized without any doubt that two decades ago when I was still learning his songs, my little ten-year-old fingers could have never copied the sound of his guitars as they were supposed to be played by two persons and not just one.
