You seem angry. Miserable, even.

A sad day herein…
50 years ago tonight, a plane carrying Jim Croce crashed on takeoff at Natchitoches, Louisiana killing all aboard. He was coming here to do a show at the local college. At the time I was working at one of the local pizza joints which was a hangout for the college kids. My sister, myself and a couple we worked with were able to get our hands on some tickets and was looking forward to a hell of a night. Instead, we pretty much held a wake at the pizza parlor playing Croce tunes. I have never listened to “Time In A Bottle” the same way after as I did before. My sister gets teary every time she hears “Operator”.
She also kept the poster we had at the pizza parlor. It’s framed on her wall.
