Plain Talker   11 #39 Posted July 1, 2005 i attended, both the crematorium, and at Cha-cha's after. both venues overflowing with folks wanting to say "Cheers, Sass"! amazing!  it was an incredibly moving service, and the song that was played; god! Its lyrics had me in floods...  There's a good write-up in tonight's star, about it, and some pictures.  PT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Classic Rock   10 #40 Posted July 1, 2005 The song played was by Tim McGraw and is called 'Live like you were dying'. It will be played a few more times at Cha Chas on Saturday nights over the forthcoming weeks no doubt. It proved very popular.

Eclaire   10 #41 Posted July 1, 2005 He said, I was in my early 40's with alot of life before me when a moment came that stopped me on a dime I spent most of the next days Lookin' at the x-Rays Talkin' 'bout the option and talkin' bout sweet time  I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end How's it hit you when you get that kinda news, man whatcha do?   CHORUS ------- He said, I went skydivin' I went rocky mountain climbing I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foo Man Chu and I love deeper and spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness, I'd been denyin' and he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying -------  he said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't  and I became a friend a friend would like to have and all of the sudden going fishing wasn't such an imposition and I went three times that year I lost my dad well, I finally read the good book and I took a good hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all again  CHORUS  like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what to do with it what could you do with it what can I do with it and what would I do with it  skydivin', I went rocky mountain climbing I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foo Man Chu and I love deeper and spoke sweeter and I watch an eagle as it was flying, and he said someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying  Live like you were dyin' Live like you were dyin' Live like you were dyin' Live like you were dyin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
noisyandy   10 #42 Posted July 4, 2005 It was the acoustic guitar number that got me. I've never cried at a funeral (dunno why) but that brought a huge lump to my throat. A great send-off for a true legend, such a huge crowd showed just how popular and important he was to so many people. I was there representing fcdoguk because we were all hugely grateful for him and Buffy being so supportive of the band.  Let's all support the hunt for CRB mk2. Keep yer eyes peeled for suitable venues!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
