Nicely sung, Stu. Hope that doesn't mean you are planning to kick the bucket. The only other time I've heard it is by Roy Clark. Mickey Mantle hired him to sing it at his funeral. I didn't listen to any Beatles songs if I could avoid it, though I couldn't completely avoid them, including Imagine. From that I figured all of them were commies and I was right to stay away from them. As far as Carter is concerned I wonder how so many Jews remain Democrats. Add Obama and Biden to the list. As far as me, it's just one more grave I have to piss on before I'm done.

¡Muchisimas gracias! I'm so happy that SOMEBODY clicked on the link!

Oh, wait! D'ya mean the one about "Imagine" from 2018, or the unrelated one from Jan. 9?

Thank you! Your comment is like a ray of light amidst the dark clouds of discouragement.

Stu- you have decent pipes!

I haven't picked all the music yet, but I've thought about the epitaph and a few drafts of my obit. Does that mean I'm a defeatist depressed controlling dog?

Yup. But i would prefer cremation (after the corpse stuffing, jukebox leaning party) so maybe a few pithy words on a stone garden bench rather than a tombstone would suffice.

For the record: Cleo Laine's version of Send in the Clowns, and Peggy Lee's heartache Is That All There Is? are two contenders for my non-urgent demise reel.

Thanks for sharing a morbidly amusing post. Don't go too soon, plz.

For some reason, that's always the song I find myself singing when I'm cooking in my kitchen, alone...
