Thread Name: Funeral Tunes, songs that heal
Subject: RE: Funeral Tunes, songs that heal
I was at my aunt's funeral yesterday - we did a great song which I'd never heard before, "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need." It was credited as a Southern Folk Hymn. The whole extended family practiced it on Monday and sang it in the funeral on Tuesday and it was beautiful. After the interment we got together for a family dinner and some of us did some songs - I did "Farther Along" which I learned from a Mississippi John Hurt recording and I like a lot.
