Once we can all be out and about we’re playing this at his Celebration of Life service/party. Appropriate since he was a distiller and the kind of guy who never sat alone at a bar. I love it.

I think this is the perfect song for your husband's service.

This is my favorite version. I paged through quite a few on YouTube last fall.

He sounds like he was one of those people that others just like to be around, and that's a very special thing.

It really is. I lost a husband a few decades ago, and I think I talked a friend's ears completely off of her head. But it really helped. It still does. So you go ahead and talk all you want.
