Happy "Convoy" Day!

And a belated (by three days) Billie Joe Day.

And ahm about to put the HAMMER down!

Wow, thanks, I usually observe BJD, actually.  Without Dick Bartley, there's no one to play that tune anymore.

Of course the 6th of June is also D-Day... surely CW McCall chose that date on purpose?

REVIVING for Convoy Day.  And I had Billie Joe in mind but misremembered the date.  Yay for specifics in songwriting!

TANC: a day late, WLNG plays that *other* "3rd of June" tune-moon-spoon, Neil D's self-parodical "Desiree".

Happy BJ Day! (er, maybe I should re-phrase that).  I'll be surprised if AL *doesn't* play Bobbie Gentry today. Too bad "Convoy" day is a Sunday this year.
