Condolences Loz. I never realised Moi was your Mum. Lovely selection of songs - no doubt you gave her the send-off she deserved.

I've got to the stage where I often think about what songs I want at my funeral. It always used to be 3 songs but great if you can have 5. Certain songs mean so much to our lives and I would rather have that that some guy spouting a load of religious nonsense that meant nothing to me.

Agreed. Service wasn't remotely religious. No religious person present or any religious related readings.

For those of you interested I was asked to pick 5 songs for my mum's (Moi) funeral which was this morning. Obviously all five to be songs she loved.

The five, in the order played at the funeral, were

1. Joni Mitchell - Michael from Mountains

2. Runrig - Hearts of Olden Glory

3. Jean Redpath and Abby Newton - Who Shall Count for Thee

4. Nick Drake - Northern Sky

5. Allan Taylor - Colour to the Moon

Your mum introduced me to this cover version many years ago, which was another song she loved, and with very appropriate and moving words at this sad time. Hope you and your family are doing OK.

The original version. Much as I like Jefferson Airplane's version I think that by The Great Society is better.

In honour of my Grandson Jude, who yesterday took his first steps!

Thought it was appropriate!😀

Looking forward to hearing it on Sunday.

Seems appropriate today!
