I went to a friends funeral yesterday. She was only 48 and a hell of a singer. So I'm sitting there and doing my deep thoughts during the funeral, and I hear "Years" by Lorrie Morgan, "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground" by Willie Nelson and "Me and Bobbie Megee" by Janis Joplin. Made me think, what music do I want played at my funeral? Maybe some gospel tunes by Johnny Cash, or something like that. How about you?

Hopefully by the time I pas we will have figured out how to resurrect people from the dead and I can just have Skip James play all the music. He could choose whatever songs he likes to play tribute, that would be a beautiful farewell for me in my opinion.

maybe, it was his funeral dirge. beautiful and moving, a huge expansion from the original number.

As an aside, I have toyed with the idea of making my own Casket. And for some reason i thought it might be funny to make it look like a classic Tweed guitar case.

Well, considering I plan to be cremated, it probably doesn't matter much. However, if I were to choose then, probably "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art".

I hear ya! One of the several memorial services that I was at recently played "Goodbye" by Lionel Ritchie. Now I'm not a fan of him, but hearing those words at that time, really hit home!

I think I'll have 'Memories' played at mine?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's passing.



I had this similar conversation w/ a friend of mine who is older, and is going throught the early stages of M.S.; He is also a huge EVH, Van Halen fan like myself. He wants me to make sure they play "Runnin' With The Devil". Not a bad choice.....
As for me , that is a tough decision. That is a thinker.....I do know i don't want it to be any sappy religious mumbo jumbo.

Dude this is a great idea, what a better way to be laid to rest.
