A funeral song seems to be a very personal choice, I can`t pick one for this conversation. But I always said, since I was 15, that in my tombstone should be engraved this words: /*"There are things I wish I'd done*//*/* */Some friends I'm gonna miss*//* *//*Beautiful lovers*//* */I never got the chance to kiss..." Hope the moment is still in a far away future, but who knows?

David's right. We're all Joni fans here, but everyone has a different choice. People who knew this woman well might have a better idea of what her favourite Joni songs were or which ones best suit her personality. My choice, for my own funeral, would be "Hejira".

After Joni sings: Stills swoons, "I wish I could think of all those words." Everyone breaks up. "But then again, I wish I could play with Herbie Hancock too." But Herbie had barely taken notice of Joni before Mingus, right? So Stills wasn't saying he was jealous of Joni for playing with Herbie...it was just prescience?
