Hard to pick just one, Nutshell by Alice In Chains hits me deep every time I listen to it. I realize its not exactly the most positive note to go out on but its always been a special song to me.

Close seconds: Death Bells (yours truly), Black Napkins - Zappa

If things go according to plan I will not have an individual funeral. I have donated my body to Georgetown University Medical Center. After they are done with my body, there is a service for a group of bodies to be cremated.

If for some reason they don't take me, then I would like:

"Be Not Afraid"

and

Warren Zevon "Keep Me In Your Heart"

Probably would lose a little of its meaning without the student section

Box of Rain by Grateful Dead would definitely be one of them.

Amazing Grace for sure, my favorite church hymn. The rest should be fun music, because I want people to be happy they were apart of my life, I'm sure happy to have the friends and family in my life that I do.

Amazing Grace by a black church choir with a few ladies that can really belt it out.

Aint Life Grand - Widespread Panic

Some old school country Jimmy Buffett

Some Grateful Dead

Blue Sky - Allman Brothers Band

Have a quick service and then a great big ole party to remember how much I enjoyed life, no matter how tough things got.

FTR, I want to be cremated and ashes spread in Mississippi River at Vicksburg and along the beach in Orange Beach, AL.
