"You Don't Mess Around With Jim" was originally recorded and released by Jim Croce in 1972. If you don't know, you better ask somebody. The song tells of a tough but not-too-smart pool hustler by the name of "Big Jim Walker" who gets what's comin' to him by Willie "Slim" McCoy. The song was a hit for Jim Croce and led to the follow up "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown". I personally love the original song for the story telling and harmony, but the scatting Jim does at the end of each chorus is just the cherry on top. Bah doh doo da da deet dee dee deet dee. Thanks for watching!

"Time in a Bottle" was our song (my beloved hubby of 38 years and mine). We would dance to it whenever it played on the radio. He would always "dip" me at the end of it. I sang it to him as he lay dying in hospice and I think he heard me. Can't hear it to this day, 14 years later, without bursting in tears. Life is filled with tragic losses.

Sitting here with tears in my eyes picturing my dad's reaction to this. As with so many of the older songs you cover,he loved this one. Thank you for keeping these songs alive.
Oh I don't think I've ever heard his voice when it's not been Uber low... He has a really nice range and a gorgeous voice no matter what note he sings in
Me: How many octaves do you cover? Geoff: All of them.
When it comes to dusting off old tunes and making them exciting and fresh and new, you don’t mess around with Geoff. 💪🏻 Once again, Geoff, you’ve blown me away with your arrangement. I’ll never tire of you surprising me with a minor chord when I was expecting a major (and don’t even get me started on your love of minor 7 chords 😍). ‘Man of Constant Sorrow’ better watch its back - we may have a new contender for favourite song.
I see there's a new Castalluci vid, I click. That's all I need to know. That being said, another triumph! The voice and the range are a given, but I love the minimalism in this one: no props, no costumes, just Geoff. And to top it off, switching up genres yet again. We never get the same old same old from Geoff, he's always keeping it fresh.
Someone give this guy 10 million subscribers.

When I was a kid, it was a testament to how much I loved a song, if I skipped a couple of lunches at school so I could use the money to buy the 45! Lots of singers have been loved and some forgotten over the years, but Jim Croce has never left my playlist. Delighted to see one of my most recent faves do such an excellent arrangement and cover!

Am I the only one who'd like to hear Geoff (and VoicePlay) really scat sometimes? By that I mean improvised, rather than arranged nonsense syllables. I grew up listening to jazz and know how tough it is to scat well. But Geoff and the guys are such skilled singers and musicians that I know they could knock it out of the park if they tried. I bet they'd have a lot of fun with it, too.
My dad was a huge Jim Croce fan and a guitar player. He'd have loved your arrangement.
