OK I recently purchased a Jim Croce DVD which was compiled by his wife Ingrid and son AJ, and released in 2003. In my opinion Jim Croce is another singer/songwriter in the same class as Gord. It was a wonderful, wonderful DVD and I would encourage everyone who loves Croce as I do to purchase it.
But what I wanted to share with you all, was that after spending a couple of hours viewing the live performances of Jim Croce, and then playing it through again with the commentary by his wife Ingrid, and then methodically going through all of the special features, I finally came to the last feature, which was a clip of an interview done at the Croce farm back in 1973 not long before Jim's untimely death in a plane crash. Anyway, I had been watching this DVD and loving every minute of it, and sadly coming to the very end, and this is what happened in that last clip: Jim was being interviewed on the porch of his farmhouse, he had his guitar in hand, and his baby boy AJ was in the house screeching (Jim said he was singing), and Jim called for his wife Ingrid to bring out AJ, and then Jim starts playing this familiar tune on his guitar, and Ingrid begins singing with Jim, and I about fell over when I realized what song they were singing: Song For a Winter's Night. WOW!!!
Just wanted to share that story with you all.
