 Jim Croce wasn't
just a prolific singer/songwriter and one of Philadelphia's most
famous performers...he was a really
great guy.
His friends and family are passionate about keeping his
memory - along with the memory of his lead guitarist Maury Muehleisen
- and their music alive.
Several of Jim's friends who worked and collaborated
with him - along with members of his family - will share stories
between performances by the preeminent tribute band, "Maggie's
Guitar."
The evening opens with a performance by the Villanova Spires,
the a cappella group Jim sang with during his days as a student of
Villanova University
.
Folk authority Gene
Shay will emcee.

as Canada, Rhode Island, and Georgia to attend the Tribute?
