Thread Name: For Mom, Mick needs a hand (songs for a funeral)
Subject: RE: For Mom, Mick needs a hand
I had never heard "When I Go" until one of my nieces sang it to my mother, very quietly and unaccompanied, the night before her death in late November last, when she was pretty much under already. I couldn't believe it.

I am in the process of learning it, of course. I don't know that I can do justice to it, but when has that ever stopped me...?

(But Mick, did your MiL often "..bellow like the thunder drum, invoke the storm of war....?)

Peter.
