Subject: RE: Big Mick needs a hand.
Mick, I don't know many of the Irish songs, but I have given instructions to whomever is to arrange the music at the time of my passing that I would like to have played as many of the old time gospel songs as they can squeeze in. Perhaps it would be fitting to find out what Bea's favorite songs are and do a few of them, more to celebrate her life tahn her passing. I know that music is a very important part of such a sad occasion. I was very distraught when, at the age of 18, I lost my best friend to a car accident. I don't recall much of the ceremony but I do remember very well the playing of the hymn, Whispering Hope. Whenever I think of Mike, I still hear that song. That was 32 years ago! God Bless you Mick for your thoughtfulness, and I'm sure that whatever you choose to play will be well received.
