So many great ideas.

My only two sort-of certain ones are

Scott Joplin's "Solace" - like this - for a meditative interlude:

and Makem & Clancy's "A Place in the Choir" for the closing:

We had my mother's memorial service close with Scotland the Brave (on a magnificent organ) and that was pretty great, too.

I had major surgery about a month ago, that required general anesthesia. I don't like general, nobody does I'm sure, though I didn't react any worse than most fortunately. There is always much, much worse than can happen. Just takes awhile...couple days, to cough it out and get over the woozies and fuzzies. It passed. They wisely pumped anti-nauseas into their patient's IVs. It worked, I had not one bad moment of nausea post-op.

Before, I asked the Dr. to play "Enter Sandman" by Metallica as I was going under. He has a sense of humor and if anything is maybe ten years my junior, though fortunately he is world-class at what I had done (see other part of C-D). Sure enough, floating off, he fired that bad boy up! Cracked me up, lightened things up a bit. I was starting to feel a little claustrophobic in that mask and next thing I know they revived me in post op: one second *here*, next *there* which seemed like a "little death" to me.

Not sure I'll have such an option on my...Great Gettin' Up Morning! But if so...I want to fade out the way I lived, with a Hard Rock or Prog soundtrack in the background. God willing, w/o a single regret either. I have none at-current.

I made a funeral/viewing playlist on you tube. I ended up going into my you tube library last week to find my 7 year old grandson has been saving hundreds of various Xbox game you tube videos to all of my play lists even though there's one for his saves. I showed him how to save to it.

There were over 150 you tube videos saved to my funeral/ viewing playlist. It would have been easier to log into you tube on my desktop to make a new library folder but I was on my tablet, deleted each one by one from every playlist

I'm playing some Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls and stumbled across this song. A lot of Frank's songs deal with "death" and "redemption...."
