Till death do us part

July 3rd, 2008 by Shauna

Music is such a big part of our lives that certain songs can evoke both special and painful memories. The first dance. The break-up song. Your song — where the lyrics express what you and your partner feel for each other.

But are you familiar with funeral songs? Maybe I haven’t been to that many funerals yet but I don’t recall a lot of music being played.

In Australia, popular rock classics are becoming the song of choice at funerals…

Australians making odd choices for funeral songs
Associated Press

ADELAIDE, Australia — Hymns are being replaced at funerals in one Australian city by popular rock classics like Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” a cemetery manager said Wednesday.

At Centennial Park, the largest cemetery and crematorium in the southern city of Adelaide, only two hymns still rank among its top 10 most popular funeral songs: “Amazing Grace” and “Abide With Me.”

Leading the funeral chart is crooner Frank Sinatra’s classic hit “My Way,” followed by Louis Armstrong’s version of “Wonderful World,” a statement said.

The Led Zeppelin and AC/DC rock anthems rank outside the top 10, but have gained ground in recent years as more Australians give up traditional Christian hymns.

“Some of the more unusual songs we hear actually work very well within the service because they represent the person’s character,” Centennial Park chief executive Bryan Elliott said.

Among other less conventional choices were “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” by the Monty Python comedy team, “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,” “Hit the Road Jack,” “Another One Bites the Dust” and “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.”

Have you thought about what kind of music you would like played at your funeral? Would you go with a traditional tune or something that more reflects your personality?

On a lighter note, what are your choices on a great wedding song? Do you prefer the bride walk down the aisle to the traditional “Here Comes the Bride” or a love song specially picked out by the couple? Do you remember your wedding song? Or do you have a song that is a must-play if you were to get married?

Notice that whenever you see slideshows, the bride picks the sweet and slow songs and the groom chooses some rock or alternative for contrast. Then when they do the pictures of the couple, it looks like the girl got to pick…

    hmmm, well if i ever get gunned down by the police, then how about n.w.a.’s “f*** da police.” hahaha, nah nah, just kidding. no disrespect for the 5-0. i think more traditionaly i would pick boyz II men’s “it’s so hard to say goodbye.”
    as for wedding songs? hmmmmm, how about “me so horny” by the 2 live crew. or the “let’s get married” remix by jagged edge. hahahahaha. nah nah, anything by surface, all-4-one, or atlantic starr.


  2. BananaFysh:

    Yay! Another morbid post!

    Shauna’s determined to push me towards my, ahem, MIDLIFE CRISIS. :mrgreen:

    I never thought about what song would be played at my funeral. Hopefully not Scandal’s “Goodbye to You” or Nsync’s “Bye Bye Bye.” If you played the latter, I would seriously rise from the dead and eat your brains. :lol:

    Nah, I know what I would want: “Banana Fish” by Shonen Knife, of course!
    Y’know, for my fans and all. ;)

    ah, the wedding songs. I was actually involved with that.

    My wife’s slide show song was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” as done by Bruddah Iz. Mine was the theme from Kikaida. :D

    The other “key” song was Kealii Reichel’s “The Road That Never Ends.” My brother-in-law played guitar and sang it during the ceremony. Chicken skin!

    I had to throw in some interesting tunes, just to represent. “Lazybone” by Shonen Knife, Dance Hall Crashers, The Pogues, Cowboy Junkies, and “We Walk the Same Line” by Everything but the Girl. I no like the same-old same-old. ;)


  3. BananaFysh:

    Oh, when I die, suck up my ashes in my Dyson, and bury the dust cannister. :lol:

    And make sure opso doesn’t turn me into a smoothie. ;)


  4. anklebiters:

    I want mines to be the song by Chris Rea ‘The Road to Hell’..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sZynXBjpQA


  5. Teejay:

    Those Aussie’s are a crazy bunch. It would be those from “the land down under” to have great music at a funeral.
    BananaFysh: I thought you would go with the “Banana Boat Song” by Harry Belafonte. Day-O!


  6. anklebiters:

    As for a wedding songs, IF I were to remarry ….

    Joe Cocker - You are so beautiful
    Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
    Dido - Thank you
    Bryan Adams - Heaven
    All 4 one - I Swear
    Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
    Kelly Clarkson - A Moment Like This
    Roberta Flack - First Time I Ever Saw Your Face
    Elvis - The Hawaiian Wedding Song
    Lifehouse - You and me


  7. anklebiters:

    BananaFysh:

    That would make a great Dyson commercial…..don’t leave ‘home’ without one . :-)


  8. hemajang:

    Interesting topic. My ears perk up when the subject is death and funerals. I don’t remember music or specific songs played in memory of the deceased during a funeral but what a concept! My choice would be Joey Ramone’s “What A Wonderful World.” Bruddah Iz’s version is one of my all time best songs but Joey Ramone’s is classic punk and perfectly appropriate at my funeral…and make it loud please.

    I see trees of green, red roses too
    I see them bloom for me and you
    And I say to myself
    What wonderful world

    I see skies of blue and clouds of white
    Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
    And I think to myself
    What a wonderful world

    The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
    Are also on the faces of people walking by
    I see friends shaking hands saying
    How do you do?
    They’re really saying
    I love you

    I see babies cry, I watch them grow
    They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
    And I think to myself
    What a wonderful world
    Yes, I think to myself
    What a wonderful world

    And I say to myself
    What a wonderful world


  9. Tankobu:

    Interesting topic Shauna. Morbid, but cool nonetheless.

    For a sentimental funeral i would like “in my life”, the beatles. But i’d like to go out with a laugh so i’d pick that monty python one - “always look on the bright side of life” - dat is a good one!

    Our wedding song was “and i love you so” the don mclean song. Live band sang’em for first dance - was kinda nice as I recall. I still like dat song too - recorded by Perry Como.


  10. Kelli:

    I prefer something that represents my life. I don’t live a sad story, so no sad songs at my funeral, please. Although it could be really dramatic if a song from a K-drama played, like Stairway to Heaven or Autumn Story. Even though my family isn’t Korean and doesn’t understand the language, I believe that music speaks for all our hearts to listen. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what a song is about, even if it’s not in their language. Oh dear, I better stop before I reveal the entire “band geek in me.”


  11. opso:

    yup….”Highway to Hell” that would be me. :lol:

    as for weddings….i think what would be neat is when the bridal party walks in and are introduced to the guests at the reception…..they would be introduced like how they do at NBA basketball games with the “pump you up” music, crazy lights and the MC (in loud MC voice)…..
    AND NOW!….STARTING AT BRIDE…..A 5′-?” BEAUTY, COPY EDITOR AT HA, HOBBIES: BLOGGING W/ ODD HUMOR, AND HAILING FROM PARTS UNKNOWN.
    SHAUNA….QUEEN BEE….GOOOOOYA! *crowd goes wild* ;)
    or something like that. heh

    eh BF…..boy, i think i would have to add a whole lotta “other” fruits to make that smoothie stomachable (is that a word?) ;)


  12. Teejay:

    as an aside: Saw the capri article and that’s pretty much how I would look since I get some okinawan in me. Along with my luau feet I could be a stand in for Frodo for close up feet work. Give the guy credit for walking around like that cause I wouldn’t do it.


  13. honda si boy:

    BF, hahaha, the dyson huh? you can count on shauna to be doing that…especially if your ashes get anywhere near her (tentatively) brand new merecedes’ cup holders. i can see it now…

    (shauna walking to her car….)
    shauna: ayeeee, what IS all this dirty, dusty, cruddy ashes doing on/near my brand new fully loaded (just washed by the ex-future bro-in-law) AMG mercedes?!?!?!?!

    (bananafysh’s ashes……just sitting there….)

    (shauna bussed out the 7.2HP dyson XXXtreme vacuum…*VRRRRROOOMMMMMM*)

    shauna: *snort*snort*snort* i looooovvveeee to clean!!!

    see, that would be good. if you get stuck with someone else, they might just buss out the hand held dust buster they picked up on sale at longs or something…

    gee, all you guys came up with good songs…i was rushing to post so i could get to sleep so i didn’t have time to go through my itunes collection. but anyways, you guys got good songs…i gotta come back after i get some more from my collection. hehehe.


  14. issunboshi:

    I think that my funeral song choices would be:

    “Cricket” by the Dance Hall Crashers…although the singers’ nasally voice would probably irritate half of my friends. The lyrics are pretty great…

    For a wedding song here are a couple:

    “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel
    “Mystified” by the Cranberries
    “Wild Horses” the Sundays version
    “My One and Only Love” by Sting


  15. issunboshi:

    Lyrics to Cricket—I always liked the acoustic aspect of this and can picture one of my friends playing the guitar and singing this at my funeral:

    I never thought about it before
    Just close your eyes and ignore
    The dark that troubles you most
    Don’t let it be here
    And if you see it again
    Hold your breath and pretend
    That you’re already dead
    You’ll never be alone
    I will always hold your hand, I’ll never let you fall
    ‘Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
    If you’re scared, just think of me, ’cause you know I’d never let you be
    Anywhere but with me
    Forget the story you heard
    Why are you worried about the dirt?
    I don’t think that you’ll mind
    When it’s your time
    ‘Cause I will be there with you
    And we’ll figure out what to do
    So that you don’t get bored
    You’ll never be alone
    I will always hold your hand, I’ll never let you fall
    ‘Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
    If you’re scared, just think of me, ’cause you know I’d never let you be
    Anywhere but with me
    So try to sleep with a smile
    Promise I’ll wait a while
    To make sure that you moved on
    You won’t be lost
    I will always hold your hand, I’ll never let you fall
    ‘Cause nothing, nothing else matters at all
    If you’re scared, just think of me, ’cause you know I’d never let you be
    Anywhere but with me


  16. BananaFish:

    hehe, that’s pretty good opso.

    Oh, and since it’s a wedding, gotta have that Michael Buffer come in after - “And now….LLLLLLLLLLet’s get ready to GRUMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!! ;)

    @ Teejay - I guess some Harry Belafonte would work too. Me wanna go home right now. ;) I Okinawan too, so if I got black capris, would just look like I wearing long pants anyways. ;)

    @honda si boy - yeah, my ashes would be in Shauna’s cupholder - in a smoothie! nyuk nyuk nyuk ;) *snort*

    @ issunboshi - funny you mention “Cricket” by DHC as your funeral song - that was one of my wedding video songs. :lol:


  17. honda si boy:

    shauna, sorry, i forgot which blog we/you were talking about the capri pants things but i just saw the article in the print copy of the hon adv. anyways, i don’t see why it’s such a big deal. isn’t capris basically like 3/4 shorts? every summer guys get those in. and i remember a few years ago, that was the big thing…pants that ended a few inches above the ankle (clam diggers, like the article said). usually the guy’s version is a looser cut and probably has that destructed look hem (ala A&F). i’m not one for going sockless in those hippie style birkenstocks like the author has it going but i think if you can run those pants/capris with some nice low cut dunks or DC skate shoes or even some converse all stars, you’re all good and ready for a day at some park bbqing with friends! maybe if you ever get your AMG merecedes, i’ll head on over in my “clam diggers” to wash your car…oh, and vacuum up those pesky ashes that collect in your cup holders so opso can use it in his “magic bullet/jack lalanne juicer smoothie”! (nah, just kidding bananafysh and opso!!)


  18. issunboshi:

    Yeah, BananaFish, I guess it could work both ways :)

    Symbolism I suppose…I can use it in my wedding as the funeral of my single life! Whenever that happens…You know, the death of my hopes and dreams, peace and quiet…Nah! J/K… :) Then I’ll use it at my real funeral later. 2 for 1


  19. Shauna:

    hemajang and issunboshi: Thanks for adding in the lyrics! It’s nice to see the beauty of the words and I can imagine that being played as everyone sobs over your loss…

    I didn’t recognize a lot of those songs so I guess I’ll be doing some research later. I was trying to find a YouTube video that had a medley of popular wedding songs but I turned up empty!

    anklebiters: I recognize a lot of songs on your list! :)

    Tankobu: Live band for the first-dance music must’ve been so nice!!

    Kelli: I’m totally with you on the Korean songs!! I love listening to that music even though I have no clue what is being said, except for translation of “I Love You.” :)

    Which reminds me, ospo: Do you know that song that keeps repeating in “On Air” that goes something like “I miss you, I need you…” It’s so pretty! And don’t tell me the ending since I’m on the last episode now!

    and opso: Love the grand entrance you’re giving me but what’s this line about “hailing from parts unknown”? Are you calling me an alien cause of ODD views?? ;)

    Teejay and B@n@n@ (spelled name wrong again!): I feel your pain regarding Capris cause I’m Okinawan, too. :) I guess we’ll leave it to honda si boy to pull off the not-so-latest fashion… Oh yeah, BananaFYsh, didn’t think I was pushing you toward your MLC cause I thought you were already there!! My bad!! :) I guess I’d rather be blamed for you running up your water bill. Heh heh. ;)

    Speaking of the whole ashes, smoothie, vacuum cleaner topic, honda mentioned the Magic Bullet. That was one infomercial that I was really mesmerized by. Not sure why. Does anyone have one and really like it?


  20. honda si boy:

    shauna, that thing is worth every penny!!!!! sometimes (once in a blue moon) it’ll go on sale at macy’s or something…but when i was in california (my sister has one) i used that thing everyday! you can make smoothies (no, really guys, without the ashes!!!), salsa, guacamole, and pretty much what the commercial does. it blends really smooth but you gotta just pulse the blender (like in the commercial) cause if you go for a loooong time, the motor gets pretty hot and that’s probably not good. my parents were gonna get me one for my bday but instead they got me that sonicare toothbrush thing :( oh well, i can always get smoothies from jamba (probably stay away from anything opso or bananafysh try to serve up) and i do only have one set of teeth…
    oh, and i know this is important for you shauna…it cleans up fairly easily. just throw it in the dishwasher or have the dog lick it clean… ;) nah, just kidding.


  21. BananaFysh:

    @issunboshi - yeah, I kinda knew the lyrics of Cricket were pretty somber, but I nevah care. ;) I just went for the “sensitive lyric” angle. ;)

    @Shauna - hm, yeah, I guess you have pushed me to my MIDLIFE CRISIS. (eh Rodney, I waiting for my check. or shave ice. ;) ) There you go antagonizing me again. ;)

    Somehow I don’t think you would have the same problem as me with the capris. If you do, ai yah! Invest in a better razor! :lol: Oh wait though, if you wear capris, isn’t it just like regular length pants for you? hyuk hyuk

    I spell my name right this time


  22. anklebiters:

    Speaking of ashes…..where would you like yours to be scattered??

    Me? In the vines at Wrigley Field or Loveland Pass in Colorado or on the 16th tee of TPC Stadium course here in Scottsdale or off Magic Island.


  23. Shauna:

    No, don’t answer anklebiters’ question! I just found the perfect blog post for tomorrow so you can answer it there! You must’ve been reading my mind! :)


  24. Shauna:

    Hyuk, hyuk, snort, snort BananaFysh! Have you been digging through my closet? Yup, i can get away with Capris-turned-jeans! I can also get away with short-short dresses and still be appropriate. ;)


  25. Teejay:

    anklebiters: Figured you would want your ashes scattered at Laguna Seca or Watkin’s Glen from a SCCA driver going 150mph on the straights.
    Shauna: Just tell em you French-Okinawan and your good to go. “Short-short dresses”, ay yah, BF start up the cold shower again.


  26. anklebiters:

    Shauna:
    Oooopppssss….my bad. ESP!!!

    Teejay:
    I just thought of one that is the best…will let you know in tomorrows blog.


  27. opso:

    aggashi…..is this the song from On Air you was thinking bout? dunno the title tho. it’s the first song on the vid.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stZXfG4lQWk
    oh yeah….and at the end….heh, juuus teasin. but keep a look out for a NFL football player.

    as for the “parts unknown”…..eh, you catching on quick nowdays. good for you. ;)

    eh Honda…..”clam diggers”….dat’s the same as “opihi pickahs” yeah? :lol:


  28. Tankobu:

    Eh BananaFish, #16 - Michael Buffer?! funnyyyyy!!!


  29. honda si boy:

    opso–hahaha, ‘eh, das a good one! i better remember that the next time one guy comes in looking for “clam diggers” then i can tell ‘em, “ahhh, no more but we get diss pants ovah hea…’opihi pickahs’ brah.”
    hahaha, that made my day!


  30. opso:

    yeah Honda…..that’s what we used to call em….fo reals.
    before time…..that’s how some guys used to pick opihi and throw net. they get their old jeans and cut em off at the calf part….to protect da knees from da rocks.
    ho….talk about stylin….wearing that and tabis. 8)


  31. Braddah Lance:

    Ho wow lau lau - and you say, ahem, my blog is popular?!?

    Way to go Shauna! I think you hit all da nerves wit your “area of expertise”! You had more comments in two days than I had the past week and a half…. SOLID!

    I guess I’m moving down the blog ladder…..again. :cry:

    Cheee-hooo!


  32. Shauna:

    Teejay: French-Okinawan and not Korean-Okinawan? ;) Don’t want to see the spicy side come out? Haha!

    Braddah Lance: YOU are way more popular. You even get credit here. WWD?? :) I say joint blog party!! :) That is, after we get the much-anticipated steak dinner with our favorite sports guy Dave (who I hope is reading this!).

    opso: That’s the song. I didn’t recognize lots of the other parts cause the show keeps repeating that same nice line. Thanks! Though not for the alien comparison! :)


  33. aja717:

    since you asked…here I am posting! Highway to hell!? Maybe a wedding song instead of a funeral one….j/k!


  34. Sakura:

    i don’t want to think about my funeral, but i like the traditional amazing grace. i even have that song on my cell phone as one of my ringtones. but now that i think about it, i wonder if other people think i’m morbid for using that song as my ringtone…


  35. honda si boy:

    aja, what about “welcome to the jungle” by guns-n-roses? hahaha. “welcome to the jungle, we got fun n games!” and you know, something about being on your knees…hahahaha. ok, i think bananafysh can rag me on this one…


  36. Shauna:

    Welcome aja717 and thanks for writing!! :) How could marriage possibly be a highway to hell? :) Well I guess if the woman gets the short end of the stick! ;)

    Sakura: Depends who you have assigned to that ringtone! If it’s a boyfriend, he may not be too happy. Haha.

    opso: Saw who I’m assuming was the NFL guy. Didn’t recognize him but he stuck out. Aidan is much hotter! :) Just caught the final episode now. Sweet ending although I wished the story had played out differently…


  37. Kelli:

    Shauna: Hahaha! opso called you “aggashi”!!! I learned that in one of my classes. I think it means something like “Miss.” This Korean woman once called my mom “ahjumma” and my mom felt old, so at least opso didn’t call you that.


  38. Teejay:

    Kelli: You seem to know a lot about Korean language and culture. Sure you’re not an exchange student?
    Shauna: I like the spicy side to come out, just not with all the hairs.
    BF can probably make a dialogue with the Capri pants:
    Stranger: “Whoa brah, you guys styling with da capri’s but da black wool socks no match.”
    BF, Shauna and Teejay: “We no stay wearing any socks.”


  39. BananaFysh:

    @Teejay #25 - Brah, I been taking too many cold showers cause of this blog. :lol:

    @honda boy - I dunno what to say to that. I’m assuming “Welcome to the Jungle” as a wedding song, right? Hm, not too far off then about the knees comment. ;) Don’t forget the other line: “I wanna watch you bleed” hehe :shock:

    How about Linkin Park’s “Numb” ? Or is that an anniversary song? ;)


  40. Kelli:

    Teejay: Ha! No, I’m not an exchange student, just your regular K-drama addict. I did take a class called Sociology of Korea though. It was very interesting. I even wrote a 10-page paper on the Hallyu phenomenon.


  41. BananaFysh:

    I have a question…

    honda si boy = L8-10?

    :roll: ;)


  42. honda si boy:

    BF, yeah, sorry! wanted a name change. :)


  43. Teejay:

    Ho, BF you wen CSI and Quincy that one!


  44. Shauna:

    Teejay: OK, spicy side minus the hairs! ;) I went shopping today but couldn’t find any Capris that I liked … I think colored pants might be coming back in. I saw a rack with the brightest colored jeans/pants. I say pass…

    Maybe our AX worker can confirm?

    You guys are sharp to notice that L8-10 is now honda boy! Civics rule! Hah! Nah, still waiting for that Mercedes…


  45. anklebiters:

    Shauna:

    You could do what this owner did…put this hood ornament on your current car…everyone will believe it’s a Mercedes :-):

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=J7ghpmG7AcU

    ….and I’m off for the fireworks at Tempe Town Lake, they expect 50,000.


  46. Rodney:

    Hey! I’m Okinawan-Korean. One leg hairy, one leg hairless. Korean Festival coming up next week. Hmmm, MLC blog idea? (I got pictures) :twisted:

    In our days, capris were called Makaha’s.


  47. Professional Dispatcher:

    For the aussie-aussie-aussie-oy-oy-oyz, picking old school rock songs for their funerals, it could be for two reasons. ( Two that come to my mind. )

    Reason 1) When the decest heard that particular rock song, it reminded them of better, happier or younger days.

    Reason 2) That particular old school rock song is a perfect staple for the decest’s personality. ( If you know peepz who live AC/DC, Led and the Stones, you know what I’m talking about.)

    Some people just want to go out in a GREAT BIG BALL OF FIRE and PA-Tay.

    Some peoples’ view on funerals are different from the common norm. For me, I dont look at funerals as a sad moment, but a time to recall special points in time that you and the decest shared. Wheather it be flash backs of partys, trips, deep conversations, trickery, jokes or just cruzin. After all these moments speed through your limitless mind. You come to one and only one conclusion,

    ” I WAS TRUELY BLESSED TO HAVE LIVED BY THEIR SIDE.”. :-).


  48. BananaFysh:

    Maybe I should change my name too, and see if you can spot me ;)

    @ Teejay - Hehe, Quincy. blast from the past…I never even have my assistant Sam helping me.

    Oh, and about the “black wool socks” - I only wear um cause it “matches my sweater.” ;)

    hehe, you know us Okinawans gotta stick together - literally and figuratively.


  49. anklebiters:

    This ‘funeral’ song is an appropriate one….Peter Gabriel’s I Grieve….might be one that I would use.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=cH3aimBnK4A


  50. anklebiters:

    Here’s the lyrics for ‘I Grieve’

    It was only one hour ago
    It was all so different then
    Theres nothing yet has really sunk in
    Looks like it always did
    This flesh and bone
    Its just the way that you would tied in
    Now theres no-one home

    I grieve for you
    You leave me
    so hard to move on
    Still loving whats gone
    They say life carries on
    Carries on and on and on and on

    The news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
    While the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
    And I cant handle this

    I grieve for you
    You leave me
    Let it out and move on
    Missing whats gone
    They say life carries on
    They say life carries on and on and on

    Life carries on
    In the people I meet
    In everyone thats out on the street
    In all the dogs and cats
    In the flies and rats
    In the rot and the rust
    In the ashes and the dust
    Life carries on and on and on and on
    Life carries on and on and on

    Its just the car that we ride in
    A home we reside in
    The face that we hide in
    The way we are tied in
    And life carries on and on and on and on
    Life carries on and on and on

    Did I dream this belief?
    Or did I believe this dream?
    Now I can find relief
    I grieve


  51. Shauna:

    Professional Dispatcher: That’s a good point on funerals. Most Americans (I think) see death as one of the saddest moments in life and the funeral can be especially hard. But looking at it as a celebration of all the wonderful points in a person’s life can really change the perspective on a funeral. I think playing those real hauntingly sad songs can make it worse for loved ones…

    anklebiters: I never heard that song before. Thanks for adding in the lyrics! The song is way longer than it looks written down…

    BananaFysh: NO! I like your name (with the y twist). Seeing it always makes me snort! ;)

    Rodney: How many years have you gone to the Korean Festival?


  52. anklebiters:

    Shauna:
    It is a long video…great song, at least for that episode of Smallville during Jonathan’s funeral.

    I remember one funeral I attended, they played Prince’s Little Red Corvette since she owned and drove one.

    Bananafysh…hahaha, i like that post about the black socks matching your “sweater” :) i had to think about that one for a lil’bit. as only half uchinanchu, i guess my “sweater” is more of a light cashmere blend. hahahaha.

    shauna, as for capris and bright colored pants, you’re talking to the wrong guy…i’m just the slave working for “the man” there. ;) i say just give me some straight leg, loose fit jeans and a few pairs of khakis and cargo pants. and some shorts for the beach…gotta work on the tan since the “wool socks” don’t hide the shark-bait legs i have…
