She was raised in a poor family in AL. She's come a long way.

Me, I don't care. The Neptune people can pick me up and drop me off.

All across the universe - The Beatles

Ave Maria sung by my wife or my brother with one of my daughters on piano and the other playing the violin I built.

This was recently played at my grandfather's funeral and it brought me to tears (which is not easy to do).

"In the Air Tonight" by phil collins....


...but i would have need to be have killed by a drunk driver. ala pre-prom drunk driving videos.

A Pirate Looks at Forty- Jimmy Buffett

Joe Satriani, Always with you, always with me.

I played it live as the bridal waltz at my nephews wedding.

He has to play it live at my funeral!

Cheers, Col.

Gee, a "Big Chill" fan...I wonder how many funerals played that song after the movie came out?

My favorite aunt passed away recently at 84. She requested Rod Stewart's "Forever Young" be played at her funeral. She was a family treasure.

"Where is my mind?" -- the Pixies

decided this years ago:

"levi stubb's tears" billy bragg

I suppose Bobby Brown is expected. Followed by the whole congregation joining in on the chorus in Friggin in the Riggin.

One of my beautiful aunties passed away last week. One of three friends/family we lost in a seven day period :(...

2 songs - both Rod Stewart:

'Sailing'; and as we left the chapel 'You're in My Heart'.

Perfect choice, especially 'You're in My Heart'. Everyone always said Uncle Harry and Auntie Mary were the perfect couple - totally in unison and totally together :).

I had the pleasure (it was an honour) last year to choose the music for Mum...the hardest was she loved music and had too many favorites and too many "songs for the two of them"...


Mum -
Unforgettable, Nat King Cole (she is - unforgettable)
The Power of Love, Jennifer Rush
She, Charles Aznavour (Dad's song for Mum)
Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra
The Old Fashioned Way - Charles Aznavour


When I go? Not planning on going anywhere for a while but when I do it had better be with a bloody great bang!

Imagine - Randy Crawford
Most People I know (Think that I'm Crazy) - the late great Billy Thorpe
Wouldn't mind being carted out to "It's All Over Now", the Stones....

If I last til I'm old and grey, the paramedics might need to be in attendance for the surviving oldies as I like my music LOUD :D

Into the Mystic - Van Morrison
