The Nields "I'll Meet You In The Sky"
Not actually what I believe, but still the best song.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Our wings are not tired.
Mmm, brownies.
Since I do not intend to attend my theoretical memorial perhaps the attendees could each suggest their favorites to the music coordinator and a mix can be created. It might be a good idea to start making these plans. At the moment the only plan is lots of booze, this being an essential element of a memorial in my experience. Brownies are a good idea too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
"I'll Fly Away" is a good one.
I'd like Basement Jaxx's "Do Your Thing."
Nice!
Y'all mofos better second-line for me. I want a jazz funeral, dammit. And now I'm listening to the Treme Brass Band play "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." For my sister and maybe for myself, I like Ginny Owens' "If You Want Me To" [link] (which, yes, I orginally heard on Dawson's Creek). I love "Be Thou My Vision" but more for the music than then sentiment. Hmm.
Ooo. "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" from The Muppet Movie. "Ain't That Good News" by Katryna and Nerissa Nields, that would work for a second line. "The Water is Wide."
And now I can't stop.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My mother chose "The Rose" for her funeral. Ryan now likes that song, and he calls it "Nai Nai Song", Nai Nai being Chinese for Grandma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bette Midler "The Rose"??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been to two second line funerals so far, one that had a drumming and singing session afterwards. I don't believe I could sustain that, but maybe I should make a list like Jesse, and see what I can work out. My friend in San Francisco doing music therapy (giving, not receiving, to be clear) might be able to hook me up. Let me ask him.

Man, that song makes me cry regardless.
