RE: Steel Drum Life: Island music bass for a highly respected city official’s memorial and then a surprise percussion request. Part 1 of 2.

The wife of the departed wanted it to be more of a celebration atmosphere for the public. She hired us and knows us from past celebrations. The burial, funeral, and viewing stuff was a separate event too.

Don't they do supper, happy, parade like celebrations for funerals in New Orleans?

I hope my funeral is at a pinball arcade that serves sushi. The entertainment would be Los Panchos and a cat petting zoo.

I wouldn't know, but I like the idea of celebrating the life that lived then moping about.

I refuse to go to Cry parties. I just believe that we that are left behind don't understand that death is not what we think it is.
I believe that death is like when a acorn falls from an oak tree. It looks dead we think it is dead but it is full of life. Can we tell what the acorn will produce when it is "Planted" no we have no idea. I believe its the same with us when we are "Alive"we are just a seed fallen from the tree and until we are planted ( buried in the ground dead) we will never become what we really are.

I like that @iamstan. Nothing dies... just changes form.
