It's hard to believe this musician first learned to play on a plastic classical guitar with only 2 strings.

Spaw,

You guys ever been to Croce's Restaurant in San Diego? It's a great place, and Ingrid still greets you at the door.

Not really Mets...just got lucky. Karen likes Kate Bush. She is also a lot bigger Croce fan. I ordered Ingrid Croce's cookbook for her and had Ingrid sign it for her. BIG brownie points!!! (Neat cookbook too) RE: Croce---His early stuff with Ingrid on duets was just fantastic, but is still rarely heard. She had a great voice, but now can't sing after a serious viral problem ruined her vocal cords...very sad in a way.

In the spring of 1960 I hitched a ride with two guys in a Studebaker that were traveling south on route 61, towards New York. The drivers' name was Bobby Vee and he refered to his buddy as "Bobby Zee", they claimed to be musicians. They said they were going to visit a friend that was paralyzed by some rare disease. The sick friends' name was Woody.
