Me too. but for some reason so many in the young generation of the UPC think that organ music is antiquated and want mostly acoustic guitar. It's not that way in the PAW.

I only wished they would have livened the music up just a bit.All the solos were really great but the entire service was all slow music.If we are also celebrating the departing,the music needs to reflect that.

impressive crowd! must have been a thousand people - that's my guess

You can tell you've been around that black influence - - they party at a funeral.

No,I didn't mean they had to shout and run the isles,but a little bit of "I'll fly away" or when we all get to heaven" would have been a nice balance.

Lol....I knew what you meant.

At my mom's her two sisters and Buffy, a poster here (sang in my mom's place) sang "Good-bye World Good-bye" - it was everyone's favorite song that the sisters always sang.

As an additional sidenote I have to confess... I love some of the new music but if we EVER lose some of those old songs we've lost a precious part of our heritage.

We're here singing those old songs they are playing.

Nothing can take the place those old standards like they are playing there.

(Does that show my age?)

No, it shows your love for what's dear to you - - I'm with you, except I'm humming them quietly.

We can't figure out what this song is... any ideas?

Sounds familar, just don't know.

Of course, a lot of my musical friends said they would run out of songs to play and would just start playing anything - - themes from movies, etc. No one would know the difference - lol!!!!

I was wondering too, at first it sound like Peace Peace Wonderful Peace, then it didn't, then part of it sounded like 'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus". never did figure out what it was. It did sound peaceful whatever the song.

Got to run for now... great tribute. Enjoyed sharing the time with you folks as well!
