The traditional. Play me out when I'm gone, folks.

FMD: Songs of Remembrance
Keeping with the theme this week, what are some notable songs you remember people by after they've passed? What do you want to be remembered by when you go?
Personally, I'd love a big brassy New Orleans jazz funeral.
And drop a list if you got one!
FMD 5/11/18: The Last Song You’ll Ever/Never Hear
So say you were dying, in as nice a way as possible, and you could kind of pick any song to fade out to... what song would you pick?
And, for that matter, what song would you want them to carry you out to/play at the cemetery/as your ashes are spread/etc.? You'll not hear that one, but others will associate it with you. What would pick?
And, yeah, I suppose I did a funeral music topic once upon a time, but hopefully this is a distinct enough topic: not just end-of-life songs, but truly last songs.
FMD: Do You Realize
The other week, when we were talking about those stealth music attacks, funerals came up a few times. Then last week I got to present on some wills and estate planning things and one of the other presenters talked about funeral planning. So it's been on the brain for me, of late (eh? late? eh...?).
So I'll put the question to you plainly: what do you want played at your funeral?
There are no wrong answers. Seriously. Even "Tubthumping" works... (Jokes are the best way to put the "fun" back in "funeral).
Canadian Brass – Just A Closer Walk With Thee + Saints Go Marching In
As I've tried to suggest, there is so much simple joy to be found in music. That's why, when the time comes, this is what I want played on my way out.
