“We'll bid our farewells much too soon.”
Four years ago I lost a dear friend. I’d known her since she
was a teenager. I have thought about what song to I wanted play to commemorate
this day for a while now. At first I searched for a song that was somber and sentimental,
but every time I thought I found one it rang false somehow. I thought
about her underlying traits that I remember most: her laugh and her
relentless love of life. She lit up the room when she walked in. She was always
there for everyone who needed her. She loved to laugh and party with her family
and friends. She had one of the best damn smiles ever. I chose this song for
its mellow vibe and positive sentiment. So if her family will allow, I would
like to dedicate this song to my Li’l Sis, .
“So drink it up, this one's for you. Honey, it's been a
lovely cruise….” Jimmy Buffett
1976
