DOA by Bloodrock?

Seriously though, I'd take "Healing Hands of Time" from Bobbe's "Masters" CD.

Two songs by The Band: The Weight and I Shall Be Released.

And just for the record, I don't want a dreary funeral with everyone somber and dressed in black. I want a party with live music and people having a good time...remembering how funny and witty I was...could be a jerk sometimes, but for the most part a good husband and Dad...and a friend to my friends. :)

Since we're dropping names here as well as titles, I wouldn't mind hearing Aram Khachaturian's "Gayane Ballet Suite."

I would like to hear that I will be here to play at each of ya'lls final moments, so I have printed each request. Please allow me two weeks notice before passing on so that I have time to practice.

Seriously now, Billy Phelps recorded one called
"When He Was On The Cross, I was On His Mind". I was really touched by the song and his performance.

I wanna change mine to Debussy's 'Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum' from 'Childrens Corner Suite'. It's not too late, I'm still above ground.
How could I forget this one?!

The last tune I'd like to hear, hopefully somewhat sedated and free of pain, would be Alisha Jones version of the Wildwood Flower played on the hammered dulcimer. At any service that's performed, When They Ring Those Golden Bells would be nice. Instead of having a piper at the grave site, give me a Texas-style fiddle player doing the Bob Will's classic, Faded Love.

I love her voice, phrasing and miss her talent.

We miss you Eva!!!!
