At your funeral? Really?
Another great night on the airwaves. The most absolutely ridiculous thing happened. I was about to play "Hallelujah" sung by Rufus Wainwright, and right before I pressed play, the phone rang. I started the track and picked up the phone. The guy on the line was silent for a second or two and then said "Brother, your amazing. You just read my mind. I was calling to request Hallelujah, because I just put it in my will that I want that song played at my funeral." I was speechless. What? How does that happen? How, out of millions of possible songs, do I chose the one song this guy wants to hear, one that has special significance, and isn't even the original version of the song? Of course, it's a little odd to want to hear the song that's going to be playing at your funeral, but hey, I'm not one to judge. Whats more, I asked him if there was anything else he wanted to hear, and he asked for some low key melodic Tom Waits. Of course, as fate would have it, I already had some Tom Waits in the lineup for the night. What the heck, two songs in a night, spot on. I was completely flabbergasted, and Fuller can vouch for that.
