An old friend died suddenly this past week and I am going to be playing a couple of songs solo at the party at his house after the funeral on Monday.
He was a Dead Head and also played guitar... had a smaller body older Guild I remember but don't remember the model.
I am thinking of playing a mournful tune and then a song that he always liked to play and sing at a jam: Big River - a Johnny Cash tune but one the Dead made their own.
For a more mournful tune I am thinking either Stella Blue, a beautiful, sad ballad or Some Dark Hollow which is another song the Dead covered.
Any preference to either song? should I not play a mournful tune? I was actually thinking Black Peter but then thought that's just too morbid.
