Subject:  [RS] Funeral for a friend

I went to a client's funeral today -- a  wonderful old woman of 97 who had
her wits to the end, with humor and a lot  of impatience that she hadn't
left already.  Her extended family was  present, children, grandchildren,
cousin's children, and their children, and  the close friends who had grown
up with them.  Her granddaughter, a  minister, read a carefully secular
collection of family memories,and at the  end of the graveside ceremony,
her grandson took up the guitar, and I  realized with surprise I knew the
song:  "Hazel's House."  His  voice quivered when he sang " and no one
seems to know that this is  Heaven."  And everybody's eyes got a little
watery.

Cool story Lisa. I can see how " Hazel's House" would fit perfectly at  this
particular funeral - because you explained the circumstances pretty  well.
 
Of all of Richard's songs, "Hazel" might not have been the one I would  have
expected to be played at a funeral.
 
Hmmmm. Which one would I have expected to be played.....? And what  kind of
funeral would you need to play the song at? Does Richard have anything that  
you
could play at the funeral of a soldier who just got killed in Iraq? ( Waist  
Deep is no
song for a funeral ).
 
Hmmmm.
 
see ya... Bob Paterson
 
ps... I just saw Karla Bonoff in Chatham New Jersey. Wow. Damn. I think I  
have fallen
in love all over again. ( Miss Bonoff and I had a "radio/album thing" back  
in the late 70s,
early 80s. )
 
If you get the chance... I recommend her to you. She played at a church in  
Chatham - 
part of the coffee and fake roadies circuit. Never expected the chance to  
see her in such
an intimate venue.
