Like most people who post here, I am very much into singer/songwriters. More especially if they play guitar. Hence I am a GL fan (he is the top man) also Jimmy Buffett,Harry Chapin, Jim Croce etc.
Regarding the last 2. Jim Croce had a great guitar style, however I feel much of the sound we heard on his records was down to Maury Muehleison, who played with Jim both in the studio and live. Maury also lost his life with Jim, a sad loss.
Now Harry Chapin. Some years ago here in Blighty, there was a sunday morning radio program which occasionally featured live acts. Harry appeared one sunday. He did live versions of 'Flowers Are Red, Story Of A Life' WOLD & Salt And Pepper'. When asked if there was anything Harry would like to hear, Harry told the same story about Gordon and story songs, then asked to hear 'The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald'it was a great program. I am only sorry that I never got to see Harry live.
