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?
