| Jim Croce – Salon And Saloon Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My Dear Account- Jim Croce did not write this song. It was written by his lead guitarist Maury Muehleisen in 1970 when he ran into a high school sweetheart at the Trenton, NJ train station. They were both dropping friends off at the station. She was dressed to the hilt and he, as many up and coming musicians, was dressed quite sparingly. Croce only sang the song. Tommy Lee, Croce's piano player and producer, played the piano on the recording. The reason I know all this is that I used to live in Trenton and became good friends with Maury's sister (Maury died in the plane cash along with Croce)through the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum (UMGF)that holds MartinFest the 1st weekend of every August at the C. F. Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth, PA. The song was recorded 8 weeks before Maury died, so the Mary it was written for never got to hear it in a live performance. |
