BAD, BAD LeRoy Br....ALL About BAD [COOL] Jim Croce Here

OK...Steve and his first wife, JULIE TRAINER, were known as THE BARTLETT PAIR, back in the '70s...They toured Washington State and Canada too. Julie's son and Steve's stepson with Julie is named SCOTT TRAINER, and he's a musician in Wyoming today. Steve has told me many times how Scott loved music at a very young age...AND was so cute when he sang..'BAD, BAD LeROY BROWN' by JIM CROCE. Steve thought it was his favorite song. Lots of people loved that song, in fact it was a big hit way back when.
 Today, I found a post from THE NEW YORK POST about JIM CROCE's life by CINDY ADAMS... Much of the information about JIM CROCE in the post was from JIM CROCE's widow INGRED's book called 'I GOT A NAME: THE JIM CROCE STORY'.
 Despite writing such hits as BAD, BAD LeROY BROWN and IF I HAD A BOTTLE, The CROCE'S lived in poverty "we lived on nothing. Like gypsies. No pension, no savings, no security. Not even insurance when I got pregnant. He sold his guitar to pay rent. He drove a truck when he wasn’t performing just so we could live. When things were really tough, he sold airtime." Ingred says in her book.
 JIM CROCE died a poor man, he was killed in a plane crash on tour in 1973 at the age of 30. INGED is remarried and is wealthy today..She's married to a lawyer named JIM ROCK. She owns CROCE RESTAURANT in San Diego, California. They have live music every night in the jazz bar.
