One of my favorite folk singers was Jim Croce, I have always loved his music and
even in my husbands family there is a rule that applied to son's and daughter's it now really applies to the grandchildren that when they get married the rule is they must dance to " Time in a bottle" with the grandparents. It is a joy to see, 3 years ago at the oldest granddaughters wedding watching her dance with my husbands parents to that song was simply breathtaking.
Jim Croce's widow Ingrid opened a restaurant and Jazz bar in what is known as the Gas lamp district ( downtown) San Diego. my son( being the fan that he is)has always wanted to go there and have dinner and listen to the music. of course we have not had the chance to have dinner there, but while my hubby and I were on our mini trip we went in had a drink and bought my son a T-shirt . It was such a joy there are photos and albums of Jim Croce all over the bar wall and I am sure in the restaurant as well. the atmosphere was great.
when we returned home and gave our son the T shirt he immediately asked if we ate there ( no, I replied because this is something we are going to do together!( we are planning a trip so we can do this sometime in the coming year)
I am amazed at the variety of music my son and daughter love, I kind of influenced my son while
I was pregnant he grew up listening to Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin and many more
and though he has a variety of music interest he still enjoys the classics! so much so that before there were Ipod's he would take our CD's and keep them for a very long time. we do have it loaded in our ipod as well but now and then it's fun to take the cd out and play.
goes to show classics will always live on.
