What song/music, would you like played at your funeral/memorial service? [View all]

Me: Iots of blue grass. Maybe some Hank Williams. Finish with slow, sad Irish stuff with the uilleann pipes.

I also want it loud.

No, I ain't planning to go nowhere soon. Just thinkin' aloud --- fact is, not even doing that. Just typing loud. You're probably gonna have to put up with me for a few more years.
