No funeral for me, but if anyone wants to have a wake or just have a get together please play Dark Side Of The Moon in my memory...no talking either, dammit.
i doubt very much there will be any such thing as a formal funeral for my remains, nor any very great likelihood for anyone to wish to attend it. most likely the v.a., or some other government agency, will have them incenerated. perhaps the v.a. will do something about them, being a veteran. but i don't have any direct descendents. i may have cousins and their kids, but it is unlikely they will hear of it. my wife had had a daughter by a previous marriage and her daughter had a couple of children who would be adults by now. for all i know, one of those tiny grand children in law at the time of our marrage, may be one of the adult artists i watch on f.a. or pinterest. i'm a little bit curious about that, but don't know if i'll ever get around to making the effort to find out. so songs at any funeral or memorial for me, well, i like knights in white satin by the moody blues, the origeonal version with the london phil when furst released, including the little poem that came after to end the album. but somehow i doubt that there will be anything more then one bugler playing taps and a couple of guys in uniform carrying a flag, none of whom having the slightest idea, or reason to care, who the hell i might have been. well if even any of that still exists, which of course depends upon how much longer i live. (and of course if anyone is nutty enough to waste good money on an elaborate funeral, i'd rather they gave it to me now, so i could enjoy it while i'm still alive)
