Oooo, that’s a good one, very good choice! I thought of another one: from the movie Dr. Strangelove by Vera Lynn - We’ll Meet Again

This may sound a bit morbid, but as a life long music fan I’ve always thought about what songs I would want played at my funeral. It would mean a lot to me to have my own mix tape played at my funeral whenever I meet my maker. Hopefully that time is a loooong ways away, but these are the things that occasionally occupy the brain of a music nerd.
These are the ones I’ve come up with so far:
- Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. Pretty much goes without saying. The guitar solo and the feel of the tune just says it all. (Maybe cut it off about half way through, just saying)
- Pink Floyd - Great Gig in the Sky. Another pretty obvious one. It’s cliche, I know. I’m lame, but it would certainly fit the mood of the day.
- Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go. A perfect choice—the feel, vibe, chords, and meaning of the tune say it all.
If anyone actually reads this, I’d love to hear back some other peoples’ funeral songs!

This is a quick solo guitar jam cover of Herbie Hancock’s chameleon I recorded. No overdubbing, just one guitar track

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony."

This is a song I recorded about 7 months ago. I can’t even describe the feeling of putting this one together. It truly just grew naturally and morphed into something totally different and personal. I think i’ll always be proud of this recording.

Jazz gigs
I’m excited to be working with a booking agent (who was also my former bass teacher), getting together some duo jazz gigs for me and a great guitarist I’ve played with. I have a deep love for jazz, but haven’t had that many opportunities to do jazz gigs as of late.
