Not a big Hawaiian music fan, but will have to try and give Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Facing Future cd more of a try soon. I didn't realize he was no longer with us. That's sad. As were the two last episodes of ER. Makes you humble in the realization that life is not all that long, nor do we accomplish all we hope to most times.
As far as what music I want played at my funeral, that's a good thread. Maybe Tea for the Tillerman, of Harold and Maude fame. Some JT, some Joni... Circle Game for sure. Some David Wilcox... some Bruce Cockburn... People who need people, maybe... Speaking of David, he has a wonderful new song I just learned called Guitar Shopping off his What You Whispered CD... "But lately I buy new guitars They're shiny as a hearse. I still like the look of road wear But the roles have been reversed. Now this old thing may be a classic... But I still don't need to buy. Yea, the old ones have their stories... but by now... so do I." Hits home cuz my old Gibson J35 sunburst from the year 1955 just bit the dust...fell and broke its neck... in critical condition... and I'm not sure if I should buy a new Martin, or get this one fixed. Decisions. Have everything I need now to set up my home recording studio, except a decent guitar and a computer guru to help me set up my new puter with the new sound card, o/s, etc. Changed my mind and bought an Audigy Platinum soundblaster sound card instead of going with the Hercules xp game theatre sound card. will make anyone interested a nice price if they are interested. It got pretty good reviews from what I read. Otherwise I'll probably put it on Ebay. Any Spridget owners out there? Any other Iowans? where you from Penny? Alan in Iowa City
