A friend brought a "boom box" along to the graveside ritual for his uncle and played "Spirit in the Sky", per the request of the deceased. A woman friend a few years back requested that the Beatle's "In My Life" be played at her funeral. One of my best friends says that he wants Jimi Hendrix's version of The Star Spangled Banner played at his burial; If he kicks off before me, I'll try to see to that.
