I'm having my body donated to the University of Tennessee forensic lab body farm.

and as a "remembrance", a buddy of mine, who is much younger than I (and will hopefully out live me) will put together a jazz band and play swing music for people to dance to.

Life is a celebration and in death; life, more than ever, should be celebrated.
