Choose Your Own Dirge!  

Oh yes! Good one! Appropriate words too. I used to love Neil Diamond. Still going strong too at 67 I believe.

That is hilarious Wolfechu! Your father must have had a great sense of humour.

Yeah, it was pretty typical of him. Raised a few smiles at the funeral, which makes a nice change ;)

Stairway to Heaven would make you cry. Midnight Smoke is absolutely beautiful. I had forgotten about The Hunting of the Snark. Lovely music in that.

I just had to listen to it again. Pity I've only got it on a creaky old cassette ... and I often look in the CD shops, but I doubt I'll ever get it again. I'd love to be able to put it on my iPod. Brilliant.

Have you looked on i-tunes Guybrush?

I haven't yet, sugarbunny - that's an excellent idea! I did look on YouTube, and there were a few songs from Hunting of the Snark - but not Midnight Smoke. I'll definitely check iTunes - thanks!

No problems. I just thought if they don't have it, no place would. I've found some really obscure music on there when i've been bored and just surfing through the songs. I find it convenient because you can listen before downloading so i can identify if the song is the real thing or not. Good luck, i hope you find it.

That sounds a nice idea to have a lot of music. I know the James Taylor, but I haven't heard Tuesday's Gone. I shall now go and look that one up.

Yes! Good one Piscesmoon. I hope you don't have to knock too hard though.

'Celebration' is the perfect choice. Somehow caramello, I don't think anyone would be grinning. It's a sad sort of subject, but at least we get to know the sort of music people like.

I don't know that song Ishtara, but that's the very last thing I'd want. No chance of a bit of peace at all. The chocolate cake and cosmopolitans are great though. Do you mean Alegria. the complete production? That will cost a bit I'd say.

No, just the main piece of music from the production, as it was what played at my wedding.

I think a lot of people might choose that one whiteheather. I remember way back seeing a list of suggestions for just such an occasion and that one was right near the top.

That's fine ellie if your daughters know what you like best. I decided to choose my own in case someone in the family with a quaint sense of humour decided rap was appropriate, or perhaps Country music. I thoroughly dislike Country music. I have never heard 'Even Angels Fall'.

Yes ... it would be awful if someone chose, say, a Kasey Chambers number. Sung by Shane Warne and Kylie. Bit of a bummer, really ...

I would most certainly have to break out of my coffin and lodge a complaint.

That could be seen as a most suitable choice. Silence is golden.
