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
