    Default Leroy Brown

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzYf...JimCroce-Topic

    We all know he was the baddest man in the whole damn town.

    He seemed to be a gentleman with his fancy clothes and his diamond rings.

    He carried a .32 gun in his pocket for fun and a razor in his shoe.

    There seems to be no historical notes as to which .32 he carried.

    Remember, he stood about 6 foot 4. The ladies call him "tree top lover" and the men just call him "Sir", so he was unlikely to chose to settle his disputes from a distance.

    Was he a revolver guy? A .32 S&W long could be a pretty effective belly gun. And no empty shells to try to locate.

    Or did he fancy a .32 ACP?

    I can see a nickel plated Colt 1903 with pearl grips being his gun of choice.

    It fits with the custom Continental and the Eldorado too.

    What do you think?

    But they keep the soles of the big man’s feet the only part from being bloody…..

    Not a fan. Kind of a long story but in my youth I worked at a place and that Time in a Bottle song was almost played on a loop. Kind of ruined it for me as far as being a fan.

    That "station" has ruined many a song for me.

    Still a Jim Croce fan.
