Had a good meeting yesterday to organize a select group of aged gentlemen who will act as prime ministers for the Jazz Funeral. More on this group as the members allow their names to be used.
Dan Ellis Jazz Funeral -- A typical jazz funeral begins with a processional march by the family and friends, joined by a Jazz band. Throughout the march, the band plays very slowly and mournfully – such as: ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee.’ A change in the tenor of the ceremony takes place, after either the deceased is buried, or when the hearse leaves the procession and members say their final good bye as they ‘cut the body loose.’ Then, the music becomes more upbeat.

Fri, Dec 21 Scenarios
After meeting with Rod Minner with Rowdy Beaver, Fatima with Pied Piper, and John Wiley and Bill Saraad with New Delhi --- the Friday Itineray and Agenda has been set
Having put a lot of planning on paper materialized by having the above owners agree to each Scenario that will take place at their establishments. How many of you have had the chance to plan your own Funeral and Services and selection of your pallbearers. This is getting to be a Big Hoot!
Thus, I have updated my web site at: http://www.JazzFuneral.DanEllis.Net
