I heard "Rainbow Connection" (yes, with Kermit and all) played at a funeral recently, and it struck me how fitting the words were, so I'd like to have that too. And "Ride of the Valkyries" as my coffin disappears would be terribly fitting, I think. _________________________ [color:"purple"]Whether it's God or The Bomb, it's just the same It's only fear under another name[/color]

With "Memories", for my funeral, (not for a "few" years yet I hope!) I'd like "Is this the way to Aramillo", by Tony Christie. That's one song guarenteed to put a smile on my face...and I hope it would do so for everyone else too _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

I was reading a book, and listening to the radio, and as one of the characters died, that came on. It was really weird, I kinda freaked out. As for my funeral, I think "Hymn To Her" by The Pretenders. It's a bit sad, but I really like it.

I love both versions Amazing Grace by Judy Collins I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash As people are leaving the graveside service: Carry That Weight/The End by The Beatles starting with the line "Oh yeah, alright, are you gonna be in my dreams tonight" and ending with "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." I would also love a sing along of Twist & Shout at the church, but I don't think that will ever happen. LOL _________________________ Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Then find a nice windy day in the mountains and fling me into the air. Finish it off with "Don't Fence Me In" by Cole Porter as I float away. _________________________ Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death. (from Auntie Mame)

Great memories. _________________________ "Stupid, unreliable vampire."- Bella, Twilight
