Wonderful stuff...as an English funeral director, I really appreciate this..and my big boy greyhound just sang along to the slower first part of the music so that's good enough for me!
Ever see "The Cincinnati Kid"? Features a remarkable opening credits sequence, over a glorious New Orleans funeral march like this. Whole film's quite remarkable!
beautiful piece. i am mourning the recent death of a very, very close friend. i won't be able to go to the funeral, so i am trying to build my own memorial here. he would have loved this piece.
hmm a little bit strange playin such a funny song when the coffin is under the earth.. sounds like "hurraay! he is away at last!" ^^ ... but in another point of view its understandable. i like the way of new orleans
@klikonojazz Do you happen to know an album called Liquid Ice, or could be liquid eyes? I heard this album some 30 years ago and it sticks in my mind. This you tube movie recalled everything...
@theocruz02 yes, the first one is very melancholic, but i think the second one is "funny" ... okay, in the context there is also a melancholic flair. but youre right, subjective question.
@sunzsu FYI they don't put people in the ground in New Orleans because the water table is so high, graves are in above ground cemeteries often called "Cities of the Dead"
@sunzsu I like this way too. It's more a celebration of that person's life, and what they've achieved which I think is a more selfless way that mourning their passing and it all being about what you've lost.
@sunzsu - "Champion Jack" Dupree spent the last years of his life in Hannover, Germany. Some 50 jazz bands from all over the world marched behind his coffin.
@fireforge21 It is the version of "New Orleans Function" as recorded by Louis Armstrong and his all stars in the 40ties! The first part is "Flee As A Bird" followed by "Didn't He Ramble"
@camucamu09 Yep, thanks for the support. But we have one question unsolved: to convince the widow!!!! Sometimes the girls were dead´s girlfriends,,,,LOL I guess this subject needs moderation,,,,LOL (Excuse my english. I try my best) Hugs from Brazil.

I'd love that but I can't afford Switzerland. You can come to England and play "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" for me when I'm dead, and change to the up tempo bit just as the shove me into the fire ha ha !!

@sunzsu: It's an old New Orleans tradition and the thought behind it is: He is now in heaven and has it good, so why shouldn't we be happy and dance

@sunzsu I don`t think it`s a "funny song". Subjective question. For me, sounds pretty melancholic.

@sunzsu, they mourn the death during the march to the burial sight, and they celebrate the person's life during the procession back.
