1. My husband died several months ago.

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.

2. I'm so sorry for your loss

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

4. Thank you. Fits him perfectly. The man never sat at a bar by himself in his life.

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

5. It sounds like he had a full and wonderful life

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

8. Thanks for noticing and thanks for your kind words.

I like talking about him.

9. Talking is good

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.

I just absolutely love the harmony.

7. And the guy with the hat

He reminds me so much of my step-son. I haven't seen him in a LONG time, but have been thinking about him a lot recently.
