New York's Not My Home Next Time, This Time Lover's cross Time in a Bottle Photographs and Memories I've Got a Name I got into Jim Croce from my mom, she put on his song Time in a Bottle on one day and I loved it. Then one day as I was browsing Barnes & Noble's CD section, I came upon His Greatest Hits CD. I listened to all of it and watched some videos of him performing on Youtube. I really adore the stories that he tells thoughout his songs. I enjoy the instrumentation that he uses throughout all his pieces too. When I listen to him I imagine driving down a country road to where I'd call home. Perhaps with someone I love aside me as we just take in the beauty of living and being.
