Yeah it sounds like Jim Croce had a guitar with him at all times. He would sit up all night long playing guitar. The DVD is so interesting because it tells of how he never thought of himself as a success, because his Italian upbringing defined being successful with making money and being able to comfortably support your family. Jim and Ingrid struggled financially for years, and she tells a story in the DVD of them going to a thrift store in California so Jim could buy a "new" shirt to perform in, and the hippie guy working at the store said "Wow man, you could make a million dollars, you look just like Jim Croce!" But seriously, Jim's guitar was an extension of himself, and I'm not surprised at all to hear the story about camping with the guys and him playing guitar around the campfire. That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
