Time In A Bottle - Jim Croce

"Time In A Bottle" - Jim Croce

Another song with a 'borrowed' introduction. The guitar into to me sounds like "Chim Chim Cher-ee" by Julie Andrews from "Mary Poppins".

Until the recent lawsuit crazy era, we musicians used to put little quotes from other people's music in our songs, and even in our jazz improvisations. The practice was very big in folk as well as jazz and pop. It was considered homage and not plagiarism, since it only referenced another work, and didn't affect the sales of the original work at all.

But I fear those fun days are now gone thanks to greedy people and their lawyers.

I could go on a minor rant here, but I'll spare y'all
