Okay, time for some morbid-ditty.
What songs do you want played at your funeral?

Oddly I've thought about this before. I'll get back on it, and if I don't pick something I might like

Songs off my upcoming CD naturally:
Living On A Shoestring
Tell Me About the Blues
Music Ain't Music No More
You Can Take A Pill
It's A Sin
Dead Fish Don't Fly
Cutting the Chord
Son Of a Gun
Good Home Cooking
Blow This Town
Oh I forgot, I don't want my funeral to be very long. I think I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown into my favorite trout stream somewhere. They'll have to get a live band out by the stream playing a few of my tunes. Can't stand the thought of a damn DJ doing the gig...

I wouldn't subject people to my music, I'd have some of the best ever recorded:
Brahms - Symphony No.1, first movement
Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No.3, third movement
Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love
The Rover - Led Zeppelin
Birds of Fire - Mahavishna Orchestra
Starless - King Crimson

Go Rest High On That Mountain
Vince Gill
Probably the most requested song at a funeral
in the South.
Give it a listen you'll see why.

I hate funerals. Chuck my ass in a ditch some where. Not but rotting flesh.
Freakin party boyz ... George is gone
HOME.
Dance drink sing have fun. Shoot you guns in the air. My soul is immortal.
Warm up that amp Saint Peter ... I'm on my way.

For me, it'll prolly be best so have "Heads Up" looped, so the chorus can ring through with that "Look out below!" line singin' out!

Uh...my own songs. I know that sounds really egotistical, but I have also thought aboout it before, and, hopefully, my funeral will be a celebration of my life-including the work I've done.

I feel the same way Joseph.
Perhaps even some of my Kung Fu brothers will do some weapons forms.
Or better yet break out into a big assed fight.

All of the songs from Fisherman Bobs upcoming CD.
Then a 1 hour loop of Cotton Eye Joe.
Probably:
'Im only sleeping' - The Beatles
'Orion' - Metallica
Have to start thinking on that some more...

Okay, I'll get serious, here.
Anne Murray - I Am Woman (Hear Me Roar)
Shirley Temple - On The Good Ship Lollipop
Tiny Tim - Tip-Toe Through The Tulips
Disney Collection - Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
I think that these tunes will put ppl in the right mood, esp that last one.
I wouldn't want anyone walking away from my funeral without a smile...

I'm sure I'll hear "Cotton Eyed Joe" looped enough in hell...j/k.
Maybe the devil will be kind enough to break up the monotony with "Barbie Girl" for a decade or two. Yay.
