He has told me he has one song that he likes and wants to use. With the many hundreds of pics he will have, I told him there would be numerous songs for that length of show.
My good friend who's dad it is, is not dealing with this well and is in the mode of "not wanting to talk about it", so not much input from her. I just thought that maybe I would burn a CD of the songs that might work and let him listen to them and see if OK.
Barbara, good point of using some instrumental, sometimes with this kind of show some of the words in the songs can really get to you. I did a show a few years back for a friend's husband and his daughter gave me all the songs to use, which were his favorites. Some of them were some 80's rocker songs, but then I thought that if that's what he wanted, it worked for me.
So maybe I can get this man to give me some of his favorites and then it would be nice to let people know these were the songs he wanted.
On a happy note, had my 4th grandchild on Tuesday, so another reminder of the circle of life
Thanks for everyone's suggestions, always great to get your thoughts. Enjoy each day....and leave nothing left unsaid to our loved ones. -Terri
