'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Of course, now I'm making mental notes to do great things in my life AND be really active in the church and denomination, so I can get that kind of firepower up for me, when I die.... Hmmm.
I always just hope it's not weird that I have a running list of possible songs to be played at my service. Which is dumb because I won't be there to hear them.
My sparring partner and friend also plays cello in the local symphony. Last night during a concert, their conductor had a heart attack and died. On stage. With his wife, the concert master, just a few feet away. There is going out doing what you love, but geeeesh. My friend is completely devastated. I'm stunned on her behalf.
Holy crap, Suzi. That's awful.
Oh my god, Suzi, that would be so terrible! For everyone else, I mean.

We were discussing this after the service. Less weird for my parents to be planning, I guess, but I have my list, too!
It made me think, too, Jesse -- my parents' choir has been together, more or less, for many years now, too, and the one loss they dealt with was really hard. D. was everybody's friend, and he died very suddenly and while he was abroad, so the whole thing was a nightmare. I wasn't here for that service, but I can't even imagine how the choir got through it.
Speaking only for myself, I tried to stay in "performance" mode a little bit during the actual service.
Wow, I'm stunned, many degrees away. The wife...I cannot even imagine...at least she was there? And he was right in the middle of stuff? God, that's weak. I don't even know.

My mother has informed us that if "Nearer My God" is played, she will haunt us. I feel it's safer to assume she can hear them.
My mother is 100% against Amazing Grace. She kept saying this to other people, when I finally pointed out that I am really the person who needs to know.
I'm pretty firm on "Down to the River to Pray," and possibly "Amazing Grace," but not much else.
