    A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.

    Well the geek in me, kind of likes the idea of the music played towards the end of 'Return of the Jedi' as Luke lights Vaders funeral pyre. I think however, I'll go with "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

I certainly haven't lived a blameless life, having broken at least a couple of the 10 commandments. Not to mention, I'm not likely to repent and ask for forgiveness on my deathbed either. So if there is a hell, I'll be going there - but least I know I'll be in good company. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

                                      A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.
