Music, Music,Music !

I’ve been spending some time trying to select music for the thanksgiving service for the life of a dear friend or rather to work with his widow in doing this. Of course in a way this has been a sad task but, on the other hand, I am so pleased that I can do something for him that would give him ( and me) pleasure. Like me, he loved jazz so there will be some jazz. And we both liked show music so we’ll have a song from Camelot. He didn’t much like what he thought of as “heavy” classical music and I never presumed to try to persuade him that the most intimidating thing about classical music is that it’s called classical music. Still we shall have some 20th century classical music - William Walton - because I’m sure he would have liked it had he known it. I knew him so well and I’m sure he’ll tell me later if he didn’t like it.
