And (in for a dime, in for a dollar)... Did you actually accede to his request?
July 23, 20188 yr Active Members How many funerals have you been to where the request was "MY Way"? Too many will seem appropriate. Best regards, RA1

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.
August 2, 20188 yr 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! BBD
