...dark,yes,but if you had a choice,what would you have played at your Memorial???

boogaloo · November 11th, 2006, 01:14 AM

but at the top is "The Long Road" by Cliff Eberhardt and Richie Havens.

Others:

"In My Life" Beatles- My wife's and my song...

"Blue Skys" Allman Brothers

"Where There Is Faith" by 4 Him

and for giggles "Travelin' Light"- either the Widespread Panic or Clapton version.

Brian

Bluetele54,
I haven't seen you post in awhile! Nice one! First, I probably won't care because I'll be dead... but... I'll choose 3 so that I don't have to think too hard they are all optimistic and determined choices:
1) The Highwayman (Jimmy Webb)
2) Willin' (original version with ry on slide)
3) Ol' 55 (Ian Mathews version)

thunderbyrd · November 11th, 2006, 01:23 AM

"Morning Like This" as sung by Sandi Patti.

scudgebucket · November 11th, 2006, 01:43 AM

1. Let Me Die in My Footsteps............Bob Dylan

2. This Old Wheel..............The Highwaymen

3. Dark Eyes..........Bob Dylan

The great gig in the sky - pink floyd

chickshannon · November 11th, 2006, 02:21 AM

I've actually asked my wife to make sure this is played at my funeral as people file out sobbing and distraught, not knowing how to get through life without The Peoples Poet.
" I've Been Balled, Like I've Never Been Balled Before "....Ry Cooder I think. ( Or might be Bobby King and Terry Evans with Ry.)

Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody - David Lee Roth

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python

'caster oil · November 11th, 2006, 02:25 AM

"Not Dark Yet" - Bob Dylan

crawdad · November 11th, 2006, 03:07 AM

Ohh--"The Highwayman" is a great choice.

I was thinking of a couple old Byrds tunes--"Turn Turn Turn" or "We'll Meet Again"

Don't know why, but "Tears Of Rage" or "I Shall Be Released" by the Band would fit me too.

PeteMac · November 11th, 2006, 03:21 AM

Great gig in the sky - Brilliant, SimonC. One of my all time favourites.

Or maybe "The Drugs Don't Work"

johnreardon · November 11th, 2006, 04:11 AM

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty is the choice for mine, whenever it happens
