It was the 3rd of June 1967..

That was lost Billy Joe MacAllister

RIP big fella

The fella that jumped of the bridge.

Aye, lost to love, what a waste.

No doubt flowers will be dropped off the Tallahatchee Bridge.

I always think of this song on this day,it's the way that his death is mentioned unimportantly over a meal and the story behind his death that is never revealed that makes it interesting

Home thoughts from abroad by Clifford T Ward is is another song that holds me,he's rereading a letter that he's going to send and it talks about Worcester and a leaking cistern and how a line ot two wouldn't go amiss when he drops in the line "Oh and by the way,how's your broken heart,is that mended to"? It's mentioned almost almost as an after thought before revealing that he misses her to,great song
