A flugelhorn --sounds interesting!

Not a bad sound -- and I grew up in New Orleans! This is just how we do things back home --before Katrina, that is!

[Rubinchik]

No flugel, coronet. Old school "shepherd's crook" model.

I want my funeral to be like this! A celebration of my life, rather than mourning my loss!

[Gilligan346]

Just dump my body in the river, as long as the music is good.

we had this played at my dad's funeral, December 21, 2011. He would have loved it.

Sure beats sitting in a church listening to people lie about how they felt about old Whatshisname

[donvito4221]

That gave me chills how beautiful the contrast between how happy and celebrational the music was and the mourning that people often associate with death.

Thats not a tuba thats a helicon. The helicon is the cousin to the sousaphone. The sousaphone is the marching form of a tuba.

where are the blacks ?

If anyone cries or plays Amazing Grace when I die, I will come back and haunt them until they die!

You better have one hell of a party and go on with your lives.

I ain't coming back!

[MegaTammy67]

i am form new orleans. death is a time for rejoice not tears. we should all be able to go out in style!

[Kekik79]

My dad used to say that he wanted to out of time to this song. Alas, it's not a very customary song to play at funerals here. We played Amazing Grace for him instead.

This sounds like the kind of funeral one would NOT want to miss. What a big sendoff. RN

VERY WELL DONE!
