I think it’s called a spring house, Jordan. Kinda like a refrigerator in the old days. But they had one like that at the home of Washington Irving when I went there in New York. It probably had a floor and some doors on it to get to the cooler places to store food, from the looks of it. It should be restored. They probably got rid of the outhouse after indoor plumbing came along. Hope you got to see the nearby farm and the lake too. Lots of great restaurants in the area. It’s really a beautiful place to live now that I moved away!

[@margaretfleming777]

I just found this and loved the historic tour of the Croce life. The air b&b link doesn't work now.

[@soundhoundzmusic]

Do you know if it will ever go back on Airbnb ? This is definitely on the list for 24

[@YTusercomment]

@@margaretfleming777 - True...link is "dead"...did they take it off the AirBnB system?

[@annanorth7997]

It's amazing that you have an appreciation for Jim's music since you weren't even born when he was with us. I have great memories of my younger brother and I listening to his songs over and over. It's the first album I ever bought. I still love and appreciate his gift to the world.

[@esthergarcia1373]

Thanks Jordan & Jah for the grand tour where Jim Croce drew his inspiration for his songs. I see that the backroads of Pennsylvania are still as green as when we drove through those roads in 1985 on our way to Upstate NY. Glad the new owners are taking the task in salvaging this landmark in remembrance of one of the most prolific songwriters of all time❣️❤️🙏🏻Great to see you and the Jahster still going strong! 👍⭐️🌲

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

As far as time goes Jim Croce may have been a mere blip, but he left a profound impression on us all. Love his music.

[@vilstef6988]

Jim's songs are iconic and timeless. Listen and you go right into Jim's world! Thank you for the visit, Jim!

[@greghughes8991]

Jordan, you have a great gift of having the viewers feel like we are there with you. As you pointed out the different places and matched them to Ingrid’s book I felt transported back in time like I was the one taking the photos. As always, well done!

[@rachelmayes298]

I only found out about Jim Croc from a biography on KZbin. He was famous before I was born What a beautiful place to have lived in. Maybe it’s because I’m a romantic at heart, but it does seem a really gorgeous, romantic place for Jim and his wife. It’s sad that Jim’s son was abused by his step father. I’m afraid my opinion of Ingrid is very low. I’d rather be on my own than someone mess with my child. It’s a beautiful place to stay, I hope they really do well. I’d be in that antiques place in a second. I do hope they plan to rebuild that little out house back to new. It’s too important for it to fall down Thank you Jordan and Jai ❤

[@pegschwalbach2500]

My favorite Jim Croce songs are Photographs and Memories and Time in a bottle. I cried when I heard he died. It was such a terrible loss to music. So wonderful to see this place and remember him. Thank you so much Jordan.

[@vilstef6988]

Photographs and Memories, my favorite too!

[@oldermusiclover]

mine are Have To Say I Love You(it was like Jim wrote it out of my heart) and Which Way Are You Going

[@vilstef6988]

He wrote so many timeless songs. So many are so good it seems like Jim plucked them from the collective unconscious. They were always there, but Jim is the one who gave them form.

[@pegschwalbach2500]

@@vilstef6988 so, so true. I can almost see him sitting there with his guitar, writing songs, his family around him having fun.

[@kellysquared2]

I adore that song. Such a haunting melody and beautiful visual of a long-lost love. What a classic!

[@katrinacool]

I have always loved the music of Jim Croce and to see where he composed his compositions and lived his short life surrounded by friends and family is so awesome! It's so humble and comforting- thank you so much Jordan and hugs for Jah! ☺️😍🥰❤️☀️😊🦩

[@sandrasanders9290]

I love how the stairs and wood floor are so worn. Right where he walked. Glad you mentioned that. Great video…thank you!

[@marywright6759]

I love the old houses of PA. It must be a really old house if you look at the thickness of the window sill. Nice vlog. He was a good writer.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

The apartment of Jim Croche last home is so warm, cute and cosy with breath taking scenery . So nice to reflect on a man who's best songs were written their. And to reflect take in the tranquility is a bonus in this little hidden corner of the countryside what a treasure . Thanks for the sharing it so beautiful Jordan and Jah 💛 it ........ enjoy

[@tammybrown4901]

Lovely

[@markmelito5985]

They did live in another place in Coastsville for a short time then moved to San Diego

[@YTusercomment]

Wasn't his last home...he and Ingrid moved to San Diego later...he was killed while they lived there.

[@777jxd]

WOW! Great video, Jordan! One of my new favorites!👍❤️ Bless Jim’s heart! He was SUCH a humble guy! They were literally penniless while here! He was such a hard working man, and one of the most talented human beings this planet has ever had around! It was only after his death did people begin to know who he was. When he would do concerts, they were very small and only a few hundred in attendance. He finally started catching on, maybe after going to San Diego, but until then, sadly, he was just simply not known at all!😢 Thank you for doing this video, Jordan! I love his music, too, and this makes it even more precious to me.👍❤️💋🙏 Simply the BEST! We LO❤️E & MISS you, Jim! R.I.P. 🌺

[@markmelito5985]

Your right about Jim being penniless ,in his book he got RIPPED off on a Contract he signed back in1969,he really didn't see the money come in until 73,unbelievable

[@vilstef6988]

I've seen some moving interviews with Ingrid and AJ on KZbin. AJ loved the Bad, Bad Leroy Brown cartoon from a the Sonny and Cher Show. My favorite song by Jim is a very short album cut called Photograghs and Memories. An interview said he did his demos in the Kitchen on a Wallensak tape recorder. Edit, AJ said Jim recorded conversations with literally everyone who came to the house, and those reel to reel tapes were how he got to know his Dad. God love the Croce's!

[@AllenB71]

Great coverage Jordan you are always very kind & gracious. I was at his restaurant Croce's in San Diego maybe 15 yrs ago. We met his widow Ingrid who ran it. All of Jim's memorabilia hung on the wall. His passing was very sad he was such a talented guy taken way too soon.

[@kimstone6764]

I’m 60, I remember my parents and their friends parting on the weekends listening to him , remember it well, thanks for sharing ❤

[@40sSonggirl1]

Wonderful place to film, great choice Jordan! I'm so happy that they are preserving this property and opening it up for others to enjoy. His spirit must be so strong there. I have loved Jim Croce's songwriting since as long as I can rememeber. He is a national treasure. My first album I bought with my own money was a Jim Croce album. Thanks again!

[@joshuawaltz9484]

This is incredible. I always loved Jim Croce. His music was pure. It was his voice, acoustic sets and fantastic songs. Thanks for the memories Jordan. RIP Jim.

[@sharynhensley1173]

Hello Jordan, have enjoyed your channel for a long time. Remember your first trip to Jim's house, but this trip just really got to me. Didn't realize how much his music was part of my life until today. My son, who was 16 months old when Jim died, passed away in 1997, so Time in a Bottle is the song that sends me back in time. I didn't know that AJ had suffered such abuse. Thanks for your work and love to see sweet Jah.

[@cindyjohnson2300]

Love Jim, had Time in a bottle preformed at my wedding. Thank you for the wonderful steps back in time. ❤️🤗

[@duckmann5000]

Jordan & Jah, I wouldn’t know what do to without you two. You both bring so much happiness & joy to everyone who watches your travels. 💯❤️ blessings

[@ladenemangrum455]

So glad you are living my dream. I love the way you visit the home places of the oldies. I always feel like I am on Holy Ground when I visit places like this. Your enthusiasm is overwhelming at times. I would be the same way. Keep on living your incredible life. Thank you for the videos.

[@mariaday712]

I loved getting to look at where Jim lived. I love the throw rug in the front room. So bright and colorful. I love his music and it's so sad we lost him like we did. His music lives on. Rest in peace Jim. Thank you for the lovely vlog. Stay safe and take care.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, what a nice drive out. It looks a lovely relaxing place to stay. Nice to imagine where he wrote the songs, who knows, you may be sat in the very spot. Great vlog Jordan.

[@LesterMoore]

Thank you Jordan for this visit. Artist hallowed ground for me. I'd just returned from Vietnam as a U.S. Marine a couple years before when I came across Jim's first album and with Jim's ruggedly manly face on the album cover, I purchased the album. What the hell, $1.98 ($13.92 now 2022) clearance sale what was to lose? I listened and knew immediately this guy's music was for me. I soon saw the same album was selling at over $5.00 retail before long. I swear I almost cried when I received word he'd been killed. Later when I read his little son had been brutalized I all but lost it. Child beaters and molesters are number one on my hate list. I recall trying to find out this monster's name and residence to provide the justice that he deserves. Regardless, on a happier trail, I wish Ingrid and his son the joy and comfort Jim held in his heart for them and for Jim, a RIP for all the memories of my youth. Again, thank you Jordan.

[@TtrainInVain]

Thanks for your service and that's awesome. Hope you found peace. Did you visit la drang by any chance? Lz xray and Albany are both hallowed ground. I believe its finally opened up to Americans and visitors with prior gov approval. Hope your trip was fulfilling.

[@LesterMoore]

@@TtrainInVain My AO was just down the red line from Hue city in I Corps. Have no intention of going back. Not like that place was like Rome, Paris, Antwerp or even Berlin that appears to call back the WWII Veterans. Thank you for your kind comment.

Wow never knew that happened to A j. 😢

[@RaeAnn_1202]

Absolutely amazing! So glad you and Jah were able to stay here. So very special.

[@jant7881]

I really enjoyed a look at Jim's place that not many get to see. I honestly got a little teary-eyed. He was a great artist and his life ended too soon. I think he would've produced many more fantastic songs had he got to live a few more decades.

[@tammybrown4901]

Wow yes so many more

[@dezputtyranger2724]

This is so awesome I'm so glad they are doing that with that property!!! So amazing I wish everybody would do that with historic property... A lot of times they either put fences up or people can't see it or they tear it down. Thank you Jordan for always showing us around

[@tammybrown4901]

Absolutley agree

[@blackholeodyssey1070]

Very cool 😎 Sure miss this man. Crying shame he’s not here with us to make more of his wonderful music. Great vlog !!

[@kanyetwitty6158]

Thank you for doing a video on this. Everytime a movie or commercial plays his songs I think of how he left this earth too soon.

[@larrytate5605]

Love Jim and Maury Muehleisens work,....Maurys brother Tom visited my sign shop in NC and shared stories of Maury and Jim, super nice person. thanx for this tour Jordan.

[@mikeronniward1261]

So incredible! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I am a huge Jim Croce fan because of my dad. Lover’s Cross is also one of my most favorite songs by Jim as well. Another place to add to my bucket list! -Ronni

[@keryljensen978]

Lovers Cross is my favorite Jim Croce song, too!

[@GingerbreaddGypsy]

So exciting! Just booked a stay there. How magical to be in the very place two of my favorites played my favorite songs. Jim and Maury ❤

[@allisonmarlow184]

This was the coolest! Making this an Airbnb with was the best thing that could've been done with this place. Love your research! So sad about AJ. Never knew anything about him, and never knew about Jim's difficulties with "the industry." I wonder how much great music was lost to us because of "the industry." Thank you Jordan for revisiting. And wow, this was just, JUST, dedicated! Too cool.

[@jamesscheller1873]

Jim Croce’s music always makes me happy. I like “Speedball Tucker” “Roller Derby Queen”

[@TuttleCapt]

Thanks for this! Jim's passing too soon was a great loss to music, art, and civilization as a whole!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Thanks again Jordan, and the owners for letting you show us the history

[@judithmitchell4667]

Another gem Jordan. This meant so much to me. We used to sing "Time in a Bottle" in High School. I loved his music. I am so glad the owners are providing this special experience. Thank you so much for sharing this Jordan. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

[@michelehood8837]

Terrific video, Jordan 👍 Crazy to think about everything Jim fit into 30 years - he should have enjoyed many, many more 💔

i was in junior high school when he died cried so much. He was so talented. all his songs were awesome. Thank you jordan for this vlog. Safe travels.

[@rosetitus4169]

Could someone please repair the awesome little building that Jim had planned to use as his office? I can’t believe it’s being allowed to just fall down, this is history man, please take care of it!

Time in a Bottle, has to be my favourite all time song. The words remind me of my late wife.

[@scottharvey9357]

Well Jordan this is fantastic! It’s one thing going to his story places in Sikes and only seeing remnants of what things were and had to guess and most of them are to have actual picture and go back to the same place and see exactly where things were taken and done is just awesome what a great feeling it was thanks for all you do Jordan to see more real soon

I love Jim Croce. That living room carpet is pretty amazing too.

Wow! Jordan you have outdone yourself! I saw the previous vlog you did at this location but now you have expanded it and given the context. Way to go!!!😎

[@shaylahawkfan3870]

Jim Croce's music takes me back to my earliest of memories in San Diego in the early 70's. What a talent he was! This is an awesome video, thank you so much!!!

[@howardzane572]

Grew up just down the road and toured the property in 2013 shortly after the new owner bought it the outhouse was in bad shape but the roof intact at the time,,,,,,,,,,the owner had no idea about the history here until he caught fans repeatedly trespassing,,,,,,,,, I contacted him from an apt rental sign on the front yard he was happy to show us around,,,,,,,,the apt for rent was Jims also just behind the bench at that time were the remains of a stone barn or house I was able to match photos of Jim standing in a window there sooo cool ,,,,,,, his apt in Coatesville is very private and on a farm about 1/4 mile off of Pratts Dam Road not accessable i Know the local florist who delivered flowers to Ingrid there. about a mile down the road on Rt 82 and Monacy Road is the radio station that first played You Dont Mess around with Jim WCOJ (now a catholic station) The Morning DJ who broke the song (Art Marple) is buried at the Grove Methodost Church in Whitford Jim is buried at Hyam Solomon Cem in Frazier Pa.

Thanks for this video. I always loved Jim's music when I was growing up.

Thank you!!! He was a big part of my childhood.

[@justinburnettemusic]

Oh I love this! Thanks for taking us on the journey with you! I just got to see AJ Croce in concert in Durham, NC. Croce plays Croce. I grew up listening to his music and I began learning the Jim Croce fingerpicking style the past few years. Feel free to check some of my covers on my channel. Thanks again!

[@mariocruz6281]

Thank you for sharing this video. I remember hearing several of his songs on the radio. Especially "Time in a Bottle". I have that album, from when I was barely a teenager. I believe as soon as Jim really started to make it big, unfortunately and like several other Artist it seemed just as they made it to the top. They were taken away from Us, usually back then in airplane crashes. I can only imagine how many other hit songs he would of written and recorded. In my opinion he was definitely taken way to soon. In my opinion Jim and several other Artists, seemed to have a difficult time back then. Being on the road, traveling by buses to get from one Venue to another. To reach their fans. Many of the Artists back then, didn't take their Family on the road with them. I could be wrong, it seems so many Artists wrote their really heartbreaking music, during the time they were traveling, and became very lonely. Especially during the time Jim really started to become famous. It was around the end of the Vietnam War. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts, and for sharing this video, and remind Us about that era. Stay safe. GOD Bless.

[@mullen25]

I always appreciate your love of music history and these artists. I learn new things with these vids. great work!

[@YTusercomment]

Fantastic ! While Fly fishing in Pennsylvania several years ago, I drove out to visit the Farmhouse, but of course could get no closer than the street. I would surely like to stay at the AirBnB. I really enjoyed the tour of the property and Jim & Ingrid's apartment. I was living in Louisiana and remember the night I heard the announcement, on AM Radio, that Jim Croce, Maury, and others were killed in a plane crash in Natchitoches La. I was 13 years old and already a Fan of Jim Croce's music. Many years later, when on a business trip to San Diego, I dined at "Croce's"...the restaurant Ingrid owned and operated in the Gas Lamp Quarter.

[@brookemaccuish8461]

“Operator” has always been one of my dad’s favorite songs. He was hospitalized in 2020, and we couldn’t be with him because of the COVID restrictions, so I played that song all week until he was cleared to come home. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.

[@Corleypuddin]

Hey Jordan! This was beautiful to me. I have an imagination and I don’t know this vlog kind of put me back in time. I imagined Jim walking around and describing everything to you about the farm. I don’t I know it’s weird but I don’t think he left there. I’m hurt for his son that someone would abuse his son to that type of extent. I hope not to offend I liked the vlog just something about that farm. My girls were born in the 90’s but they saw something about a movie with wolverine and they were raving about this song and all they talked about was lyrics they heard time in a bottle so it was great to introduce them to Jim Croce. They also looked at a PBS special on Nilsson and loved it. I love the way they are interested. Thx again! Love to Jah!

[@charlescrosswhite4845]

Sometime back in the 90s i went to a concert in Washington State at the Gorge Amphitheater. On the bill were Rod Stewart, Santana, Jeff Beck and AJ Croce. I was a fan of Jim's as well. Great to see this. Thanks Jordan.
