Selfish in that I would not be getting any more fantastic songs. What a shame. Just married with a kid on the way. Career taking off..
I had a buddy flying in a small commuter thru the same storm that took Jim Croce's life. He said it was brutal with the plane bouncing all over the place and dropping like a stone at times..
