Ode To Billie Joe

"It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day..."

If you are of a certain age, you may remember Bobbie Gentry's 1967 song about the tragic end to Billie Joe. 

And all the controversy surrounding the mysterious object thrown off the Tallahatchie bridge.

Before he threw himself off it, of course.

A nice video of her singing it here.

Funny how you get more nostalgic as you get older.

Hope it was plain sailing into the new week.
