When The Time Comes ...

Is it too early?

What kind of music should be considered appropriate for when the time comes? Should one go classical with the likes of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Messiah," and/or something else by Johann Sebastian Bach' "Fugue in d Minor" to capture the joyous event?

Perhaps something newer along the lines of "Three Dog Night's Celebrate" or Kool and The Gang's "Celebration?"

One does not want to be caught short, now does one?

as long as the tribute is rendered on an instrument known as the swinette. Not gonna describe it here, but Urban Dictionary has some sublime definitions.

In the absence of a working swinette, I’ll overlook my general contempt for Dave Mustaine long enough to offer this stunning rendition

But it will end up as "Digging a Hole" by the Beatles or "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

Or to that of T****? In that case, I agree with the Hallelujah Chorus.
