Good morning music fans, Friday is here. Aww Friday a lovely word, a word that means so much to so many. I'm glad it's here today. Well the weather outside is still frightful and yet spring is inching towards us little by little. Soon it will be March, then April and well you get the picture, I hope.
Only one guess this week, and it was completely correct. Brad F got all the answers correct. If you were alive in the 70's as Brad, myself and a lot of you were you would have heard this musician and whether at a party, in a parked car, on the radio or elsewhere. The songs by this musician would have meant much to you. In addition he (oops spoiler) wrote some great songs about some characters in Philly (Leroy Brown comes to mind).
This weeks answers:
The writer/singer: Jim Croce
The name of the song: Dreaming again
What caused his demise: a plane crash
The bandmate: Maury Meuhleisen
Have a great week, enjoy the rest from the daily toil. Take time to dream with someone you love. Take time to enjoy a simple or a fancy meal with that special someone. Take time just for you. Take time to dream. Take time to be thankful for the people in your life who build you up and hold you up when things are going wrong, I am certainly going to do that this weekend.
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time

In 1976 my parents got divorced. A year later my mother married a man named Buck. Buck owned a car wash. Jim used to work at the car wash. (And that's where Jim got the steadily depressin' low-down mind-messin' workin' at the car wash blues.)
Buck had two daughters who became my stepsisters and they knew Jim from the car wash. They told me he always took his guitar to work with him, and they knew he was gonna be a big star, because of his voice and his smile and his laugh, but also because the songs he wrote were so sweet and sad, so funny and so very beautiful.
Thanks for reminding us of Jim (and Maury too)!
