'Dance to the Music'-Sly and the Family Stone, 'Love Supreme' - John Coltrane, 'He Was a Big Freak' - Betty Davis(Miles' wife). Forget class,don't wear no ties or gowns, ...it's time to party on!, |
Jeez; you guys have no class AT ALL. Mozart-- the Lacramosa from his Requium.--From the movie,Amadeus. Then we hope it's on trash pickup day. |

"The Swan" and "Ave Maria" played by a live violinist, A Bach Cello Suite and finally the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th as people are leaving. |
Death Don't Have No Mercy Grateful Dead
Children of The Grave Black Sabbath
Knockin' On Heaven's Door Dylan
And When I Die Blood Sweat and Tears |
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" |
If indeed my date with destiny is far in the future, I reserve the right to alter my funeral dirge in lieu of all the as yet undiscovered treasures that may surpass my interim choice: Fields of Gold as sung by Eva Cassidy... the girl had serious pipes! |
The same that I had for my wedding. Coltrane's "A Love Supreme". |
"Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" Ed McCurdy
"Imagine" John Lennon
"The Messanger" Ray Wiley Hubbard (hopefully live by Ray)
"11 Easy Steps" and "We Live Just a Little While" both Trout Fishing in America (again live would be good)
"Three Bells for Stephen" Mickey Newbury
"When I Go" Dave Carter
and finally "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" and Now is the Hour" both of which were done at my Mom's back in 78.
Ok enough of this stuff, everybody go start listening to all the good music that's out there now. Check out the Kerrville Folk Festival south of Kerrville Texas and Uncle Calvins Coffeehouse in Dallas. Live acoustic music performed mostly by the artists who wrote the songs.

Great responses - thanks for playing. I think that I would start with the Surfaris Wipe Out to get the blood going, then One Dying and a Burying (Well, I think I found a sure fire way to forget), the Gambler (know when to hold em, know when to fold em), Then Joplin Get it While you Can. And finish with "Give me the beat boys and free my soul, I want to get lost in the Rock and Roll". |
probably queens another one bites the dust. |
bob marley's "three little birds" |
"No Depression" by Uncle Tupelo, followed by the Dead doing "We Bid You Goodnight". |

I'd like more of an Irish wake -- how about some George Thorogood's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"? Or perhaps some German beer drinking songs like "Das Jagen Das Is Malt Mei Leb'n"? Since I would like my stereo playing at the wake, some stop them in their tracks female vocals would also be nice -- something from Eva Cassidy (who I would be visiting), Lori Lieberman or Lisbeth Scott would do the trick. Of course, all that assumes that someone thinks my departure would be a loss ;-) |
When the Saints go Marching in. |
Constipation Blues by Screamin' Jay Hawkins or My Girl's Pussy by Ian Whitcomb.
I'd love to see the looks on everyone's faces. |
