re: Jim Croce- What a talent

Still listen to Croce. Interesting musical side note (from AXS website):
Makes you wonder if Buffett would have had the same career if Croce had lived.
quote:
Early on in his career Jimmy Buffett had a friendship with another budding folk singer in Jim Croce, who has some huge crossover hits with “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” in the early ‘70s before his untimely death in a plane crash in 1973. Croce’s death left a gaping hole at ABC Records and they sought to fill that hole with Buffett and his new Key West sound. Buffett would be compared to Croce a lot early on at ABC Records with the company even releasing a press release that read: “He was compared to writers like Kris Kristofferson and he was expected to fill the space left by Jim Croce.”

Probably. Buffett was no guitar playing songwriter. Not really.
Not the level of Croce guitar.
Parrot heads would have still found Buffett.
Croce probably would have been another Gordon Lightfoot. Which is by no means a knock!
He wrote so much in such a short time. He was in his 30's I believe so he had a lifetime worth of songs floating in his head. Doesn't mean he had another decade worth untapped. Nice to wonder though.
