Croce's Restaurant and Jazz Bar
Croce's Restaurant and Jazz Bar, Downtown’s San Diego’s most popular Gaslamp landmark, is a tribute to singer-songwriter Jim Croce. Croce’s is owned and operated by his widow Ingrid Croce to keep Jim’s memory, hospitality and music alive. Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar is on Facebook.
When Jim Croce died in a plane crash at the age of 30, he had been recognized as one of the most promising artists of his era. In a two-year span, he had eight Top-40 singles, two of which were #1 records, and a #1 album.
Three decades later, his songs continue to populate radio station playlists. Jim Croce’s enduring music is revisited in the television special "The Legacy Of Jim Croce." The program features the late singer-songwriter’s performances on television in the early 1970s and includes these classic Croce songs: “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim,” “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels),” “One Less Set of Foot Steps” and “Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown.” Many of these performances have not been seen in their entirety since their original broadcast. Croce’s widow, Ingrid, and their son A.J., provide commentary filled with intimate anecdotes.

Since Jim Croce was my musical idle growing up and since I learned to play and sing a lot of his songs... I would like to watch "The Legacy Of Jim Croce Special" that PBS has aired. Does anyone know when it will be on again? Or how I may be able to view it online or something? It may be a few years before it is on PBS again? And I do not wish to wait that long! Can anyone please help me with this?
Thank you,
Marty
