Topic: How Can You Distill 30 Years into A one Hour 20 Minute Disc?

I have to put together a disc for the funeral home by tomorrow.  This has been a cathartic experience.  My thoughts are what's to be on it; her music, my music, or both?  In the end I've looked back and tried to remember what stood out.  I freely admit here to all my friends that I'm running on a lean mixture of adrenaline.  No appetite except for the numbing bliss of Colorado's Rocky Mountain Kool-Aid.  The songs I've chosen and in order are:

1.  If I Only Had A Brain/ Stephen Bishop
2.  I Only Have Eyes For You/Art Garfunkel
3.  He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother/ The Hollies
4.  Crystal Blue Persuasion/Tommy James & the Shondells
5.  Gloria/The Shadows of Night
6.  Souvenirs/Dan Fogelberg
7.  Danny's Song/Loggins & Messina
8.  Whenever You're On My Mind/Marshall Crenshaw
9.  Something About You (Acoustic Version)/Level 42
10. Everybody Wants To Rule the World (iTunes Original Version)/Tears For Fears
11. The Dance/Garth Brooks
12. Go Rest High On That Mountain/Vince Gill
13. Wagon Wheel/Old Crow Medicine Show
14. Save the Last Dance For Me/Blake Mills & Derek Trucks
15. Good Day For the Blues/David Grissom
16. I'll Always Be Right There/Bryan Adams
17. Rose of My Heart/Hugh Moffatt
18. I'll Fly Away/Alison Krause & Gillian Welch
19. What a Friend We Have In Jesus/Leland Martin
20. Amazing Grace/Randy Scruggs
21. Jordan/Rival Sons

With the exception of "Jordan" which I just heard today, all the other songs my wife loved very much.  This disc will be played Friday for the viewing.  For the service Boscoe France will perform "Amazing Grace".  I guarantee my wife will be listening to my dear friend play that song.
If anyone has another song to contribute then feel free to give it to me.

Thanks.  I hope it happens for you cause for me it seemed to go so fast.  The secret to a long term relationship can be distilled into the words commitment, respect and love (in its purest form).  My good friend Don, who literally held my hand the past two weeks remarked that he'd never seen such total love among two people in his lifetime.  That comment is helping me cope with the new life that I'm living and getting my feet to move forward.

A distillation in music of a lifetime of love. I am so touched and moved it fails for words of expression. Boscoe will do her proud.

Saw Boscoe's post that he was loving you and missing Mitzi.  Praises that you have friends to hold you up.  A beautiful sound track to a life of love shared.  Surely  the love will show through tomorrow for you and those that celebrate her life.  Remember we all  are here to listen it you need us.
