    I love the song "Time in a Bottle". My mom had the record and I would play it over and over.

    There's a documentary on PBS about John Denver calling him "a song's best friend."

    I always felt that way about Croce.

    I bought all his albums.....and I mean albums. I loved his music and was so sad when he was killed. He was a great balladier....gone far too soon!

    I have his records and I love them. My parents did a good job introducing me to good music.

    Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen were magnificent together and I miss them terribly.

    My dad always listened to Jim Croce so we grew up with him. We like to play some of his songs now too. LeRoy Brown was played in the boat several times this summer! :)

    'she was built like a fridgerator with a head.....'

    He wrote some great songs full of great characters.

    I can't think of a single Jim Croce song that I do not love. I cannot remember a time when he wasn't being played on the radio. Happy memories of a great singer/songwriter.

    I know Time in a Bottle is most people's favorite and for good reason. But I really love I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song. What better way to tell someone?

    When I was 19, my boyfriend at the time dedicated "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" to me:heart: . I am married to someone else now, but to this day, I still think of him whenever I hear it.

    I've always liked "Time in a Bottle," since I was a kid. So sad.

    This is one of my favorites too. The lyrics are pretty clever.

    "These Dreams" is another one of his pretty songs that I like. There are just so many and each is special in its own way.
