Trying to make a playlist of great songs for a memorial

[yewberry]

66. Did this a while ago myself.

My dad had a stroke a while back and I put together a playlist for him-- he'd lost the capacity to produce or understand speech but he'd always loved music so, so much. He died shortly thereafter and we ended up using the playlist at his memorial along with a slideshow of photos. I strongly recommend mixing in songs that will evoke or create happy memories.

Some of my dad's:

Canned Heat-- On the Road again

Sly and the Family Stone-- Everyday People

I think I might have included Dance to the Music too-- dad loved that one:

Stevie Wonder-- Superstition

Also You are the Sunshine of My Life

Robert Palmer Sailing Shoes trilogy

Little Feat-- Fat Man in the Bathtub

Pretty sure I put Dixie Chicken in there, too.

Allmans-- Blue Sky

'

Grateful Dead-- Ripple

Marvin Gaye-- What's Going On

BB King-- The Thrill is Gone

Also Lucille--
