If they are going to play something somber and respectful it had better be Beethoven 's 5th piano concerto. No not he Dum dada dum one.
However I,d rather have my old CD of Ball, Barber and Bilk thumping out that New Orleans jazz.Or maybe a Kid Ory trombone solo with "Ashes to ashes and dust if the whisky don"t get ya the wimmin must." ( almost did).
