What A Long Strange Trip It's Been...

This thread is kind of Harold and Maude-lin, but here goes...

I would consider opening my funeral with Albinoni's "Adagio in G Minor". Those of you who saw Peter Weir's masterpiece film "Gallipoli", starring Mel Gibson (circa 1981), may recall this song.

For me it symbolizes the senselessness of war, the beauty of youth, the naivete of youth, and the betrayal of youth - perhaps one of the saddest pieces of music ever composed:

Albinoni "Adagio in G Minor"

I would follow that with another melancholy piece, albeit a happier, more optimistic and hopeful one..."White Bird", by "It's A Beautiful Day":

Excerpt from "White Bird"

I highly recommend the entire album/CD (an archtype album of the 60's psychedelic era):



Peace,
