Thanks, folks.

Thanks for those links, Jed. Now that I think of it, you have a song to the tune of Wild Mountain Thyme on one of your CDs that, as I recall, would fit.

Tabster, is your song "Spreading Wings" somewhere where I can hear it?

Changing the subject slightly, I'd swear that I posted a reply to greg stephens last night, but my post is not to be found in this thread! Wha hoppen??

I mentioned other old spirituals and trad favorites or hymns such as I'll Fly Away and:
In The Sweet By And By
Shall We Gather At The River?
Abide With Me
Golden Slippers
When They Ring Those Golden Bells For You And Me

I am especially interested in newer songs and/or lesser-known (than I'll Fly Away and In The Sweet By And By) trad songs.   

We could list Amazing Grace too, because it's sung at so many memorial services, but aside from the "10,000 years" verse, which Newton didn't write, it seems more a general hymn, and I really wish people wouldn't use it for funerals so much that the public thinks of it as a dirge. (OK, off soapbox.) :-)

I guess I should add Kate Wolf's "Across The Great Divide," too. I think she wrote it when a close friend was facing death.
