I told my brother that I wanted none of that maudlin Amazing Grace at my last
party - even if he could get Judy Collins to come sing it. I want a Dixieland
Band playing "Oh, Didn't He Ramble?". Period. Full Stop. Sell everything, toss
the money on the bar and party until it's gone. Use the cinders during the
winter for traction on slick spots so I can still be of some minimal use.
