Great job!!👍😎

A messed up tale to say the least. For more train songs:ruclips.net/p/PLXolYmzMD3jPBbZeUBmPPjKcaluFm_Q4Q

This song seems a companion to this one ruclips.net/video/33BHxL71-VA/видео.html. They seem like bookends to one another...or maybe it is just me.

I always think of this song as the sister song of ruclips.net/video/A_oCItLGeoY/видео.html

I love the guitar and pretend audience. I'm going to learn your guitar version. Nice.

Like John Prine and you did a great tribute!

Well done, my friend

Fantastic ❤

this brings back memories, so I was cruising down the highway blasting "It's All Over Now" by the Rolling Stones, right? Totally feeling like a rockstar in my beat-up Honda Accord. And then, out of nowhere, this dude in a convertible pulls up next to me, sunglasses on, trying to out-rock me or something. So, naturally, I crank up the volume, thinking I'm all cool. But here's the kicker: I forgot my windows were down! So not only did I blast Mick Jagger's voice straight into my own face at maximum decibels, but I also practically gave the guy in the convertible a private concert. He looked over at me like I'd lost my marbles, and I just grinned and nodded like, "Yeah, I meant to do that." Anyway, moral of the story: always check your windows before you unleash your inner rockstar, folks.

I learned this song from my mom way back in the 60’s when I was about 5 years old! LOL! Just one of those songs you learn when you’re a kid! I was actually reminiscing and thinking about this song recently! Thanks for sharing it here on RUclips!

let me tell you about the wildest, most impossible thing that ever happened to me. I mean, it's so out there that I still can't believe it myself. I met Jim Croce. I know, I know-he's been dead for ages, and it makes no sense at all, but hear me out. This is how it went down. So, I’m at this tiny, old-school bar in town. It’s got that whole retro vibe, with vinyl records on the walls and dim, moody lighting. The kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back into the 70s. I had a gig there, playing my usual set of folk and classic rock covers. It was a quiet night, just a handful of people sipping their drinks, mostly ignoring me. I’m mid-set, playing “Operator” by-you guessed it-Jim Croce. I’ve always loved that song. I’m lost in the music, really pouring my heart into it, when I notice this guy at the back of the room. He’s got the classic 70s look: thick mustache, sideburns, and a vest over his shirt. He looked like he stepped right off the cover of an old album. And he’s staring right at me. At first, I think he’s just another barfly. But then he starts singing along. His voice…oh man, his voice is perfect. It’s like Jim Croce himself is harmonizing with me. I almost mess up the chords because I’m so freaked out. After my set, I see him walking over. My heart is racing. He’s got this grin, a friendly but kind of knowing look in his eyes. He says, “You’ve got a great voice, kid. Reminds me of someone I used to know.” I’m floored. This guy even sounds like Jim Croce. We start talking, and he introduces himself as Jim. No last name, just Jim. I’m trying to keep my cool, but inside, I’m freaking out. I mean, could it be? I have to ask, so I blurt out, “Jim Croce?” He chuckles and says, “I’ve been known by that name.” I know, it’s completely nuts. I should’ve been running for the hills, but there was something about him that made me stay. He starts sharing these stories, tales of the road, writing songs, and the crazy characters he met. Every word feels like a page from a history book or a scene from a movie. I’m hanging on every word, trying to figure out if I’m dreaming or if this guy is just a phenomenal storyteller. I can’t hold back anymore. I ask him, point-blank, “How can this be? Jim Croce died in a plane crash in 1973.” He looks at me, dead serious, and says, “Maybe in your world. But music-real music-never dies. It just finds new ways to keep living.” I’m standing there, feeling like I’m in the Twilight Zone. We end up playing a couple of songs together. He picks up my guitar and starts strumming “I Got a Name.” The whole bar goes silent. It’s just him and me, making music like it’s the most natural thing in the world. I’ve never felt anything like it. It’s like he’s channeling the spirit of Jim Croce right through his fingers. After what feels like both an eternity and a blink of an eye, he says he has to go. He gives me this look and says, “Keep playing, kid. The music needs you.” And then he’s gone. I don’t even see him leave. One moment he’s there, the next, he’s vanished. I’m left standing there, holding my guitar, wondering if I’ve just lost my mind. Maybe it was a ghost, a dream, or some kind of magical encounter. But whatever it was, it was real to me. And it was amazing. I know it sounds impossible. How could I have met Jim Croce? He’s been gone for decades. But that night, in that bar, I felt like I got a glimpse into something bigger than me, bigger than all of us. It was like the music itself came to life and decided to have a chat. And I’m not sure what to make of it, but one thing’s for sure-I’ll never forget it.

Nice Energy
