104: Ode to Ode To Billy Joe, part 3

Hi.

Today I'm back with part 3 of the ode to the "Ode To Billie Joe".

I checked on the CD's I have of Bobbie Gentry,

on some of them it's Billy Joe, on others Billie Joe...

First time I noticed this was when I did once more some (tiring)

research on the w.w.w. for more covers of this great song.

I had (much appreciated!) help of countless fellow-bloggers,

and ofcourse all the musicians who were inspired to

actually cover this beautiful song...

For this third part I've gathered some extremes, enfin,

just listen for yourselves and have fun!
