Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

The Third Of June: A Day Of Desiree And Billy Joe
Posted 06-03-2019 at 06:04 PM by case44
In the world of pop music, this date has a significance that's historical. You may recall two songs with lyrics that contained the common date. The songs were released ten years apart from one another.
Phlash Phelps touched on this on his SiriusXM 6 morning program today, but this is June 3, a familiar date on two different songs. Neil Diamond and Bobbie Gentry shared two tales with the world when the time came. Bobbie went first with "Ode To Billie Joe", and she made an actual admission about an oversight in the song. It was how Billy Joe McAllister's name was actually misspelled in the song's title, but everything was straightened out when the movie came out to tell everybody Billy Joe's story and why he did what he did, to the tragic end. Neil Diamond followed later with "Desiree", about a young man after the heart of an older woman, drawn to her singing voice.
Two great story songs taking place..........today.
It was the third of June....
