Beating Around the Bush,
A Musical Retrospective
of the 'W' presidency
Here is a REAL Treat for all you Jim Croce Fans... This is THE LAST SHOW Jim performed
before his untimely death in 1973. This is an audience recording & very good for its time.
The story goes as thus:
This cd contains the final moments of the legendary Jim Croce and his lead guitarist,
Maury Muehleisen. Only fifeteen minutes after this concert ended, they were both killed when their
charted plane crashed during take-off from the Natchitoches, LA airport. The four others aboard the
aircraft were also killed and the names are unkown to me. Jim and Maury had just given a great show
on the campus of Northwestern State Unversity in Natchitoches, Louisiana. They had been well received
by almost 2000 fans. This show was taped on a hand held cassette recorder by 2 young women in the
3rd row. You will find the sound is Pretty amazing for an audience recording back in the day. Please
enjoy a look back at the FINAL performance of an American legend : JIM CROCE.
