Drive safely tomorrow! You're almost there! When do Frank and Tia arrive?

Where are you having lunch tomorrow? I'm hungry!

I was going to mention something about Billy Jo McAlister jumping off the Tallahassee bridge, but then I remembered it was the Tallahatchee bridge....

But then I figured nobody would know what I was ranting and raving about.....

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Steve, honey,, you know I know.. was that the gorgeous Bobbi Gentry.. what was her name?? and billy jo mcallister jumped off the tallahatchee bridge.. you bet I remember.

Ok I'm showing my age again,

Would you believe that I have the soundtrack to the movie "Ode to Billy Joe" on an LP.

Egads!

So Steve, you are not alone.

Dayna, by this time you are probably eating dinner and not lunch. Hope you are having fun. Say hi to Mickey and Minnie for me.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Dayna.. be safe and have a wonderful time..

Steve and Tammy,, I am on a quest looking for a picture of Bobbi Gentry.. but here you on this quote.



And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
"Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Move over, Marsha, Tammy and Steve, I remember that song very well. I also remember the movie with (I think) Robbie Benson. (does that sound right?)
Dayna, sleep tight, sweetie! We'll be anxiously awaiting tomorrow's report.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

We are now a strong 4... who admit to remembering Billyjo McAllister.......anyone else care to join???

 

[luvdsny]

Okay, I know the song AND the movie. So does that make me 'old'?

j/k

Actually, I think I remember the movie from when I was very very little and my grandmother was watching it................

j/k again!

 

[CDoobee]

Okay, okay, I admit it!! Sheesh! I remember "Ode to Billy Joe", too! And yes, it was Robbie Benson, Barb. And Glynnis O'Connor was the girl. I remember it so well, because my much older sisters told me about it. Yeah, that's it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[KarenNY]

I admit I remember it- I'm older than dirt

 

[luvdsny]

Sorry Dayna. This got a little railroaded. Glad you're making such good time. See you soon.

One more thing......I really liked that movie way back when...... No. I REALLY did!

 

[perfectmatch300]

OK, so I remember it, too! However, I don't think you want me to start singing. I don't want to scare everyone away!

Dayna, drive safely and have a great trip!

My mom had a Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell LP when I was young. I though Bobbie Gentry was soooo cool. It was the first time I ever remember taking notice of the name "Gentry." I liked it and kept it in the back of my mind for many many years. Two years ago when dd was born - I named her Gentry. Anytime someone asks me why I named her that I am a bit embarrassed to tell the story

Have a safe trip Dayna and be sure to let us know when you have arrived safely!!

What wunnerful wunnerful musical memories ladies and gentlemen. And now, our lovely champagne lady, Norma Zimmer......

I didn't remember they made an Ode to Billie Jo movie. Selective memory, apparently.

I'm gonna have to find a picture of a steam engine every time I railroad a message.

Hi Dayna honey!!

 

[Mackey Mouse]

We love you Dayna.. Please let us know when you get safely to Disney..

And btw, I am not playing Norma Zimmer in this thread.. No way...and final thought.. Steve did it.. it was his fault this thread took this turn...

But hey look at all the Bobbi Gentry fans.. but why can't I find a picture of her.. it is making me crazy....

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

Hey Marsha (and anyone else interested), here are a few pictures of Bobbie Gentry.

The last one is the album my mom had - what memories!!

 

[disneycub]

I'll admit it. It was all my fault!!

You guys are so funny.
