Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

I was actually asked to play this for a funeral of a friend. He died when he fell off gangplank the landed face first on the pier.

OneFinger, i've held back as long as I can, I just gotta ask...

Who requested you play this?

And (in for a dime, in for a dollar)...

Did you actually accede to his request?

How many funerals have you been to where the request was "MY Way"?

Too many will seem appropriate.

Best regards,

It was a request from his parents (who weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer). But it was Wally's favorite song and they thought he would like it played at his funeral. I talked it over with the minister who was going to conduct the service. He was equally shocked. Together we talked to the parents and suggested the Navy Hymn might be more appropriate since he died on active duty and was buried in his uniform. Thankfully, they agreed.

Definitely not a song for your hetero wedding, but could possibly work for your gay wedding. Bonus! Carl Bean has since established his own gay-affirming church - the vestments are fabulous - so maybe he could marry you, and later perform this classic! 

One of my all time favs! I remember as a young gayling dancing to this back in the Paradise Garage...sunrise, sunset!
