It seems like music is the best thing to help keep my mind focused for comfort... especially right now...
Kinky Friedman was Paul's father's favorite artist. Paul often tells me that Kinky Friedman reminds him of his dad. I never really got to listen to his music until we started planning for the memorial... After listening to more of Kinky Friedman music and reading some of the lyrics closer, I'm understanding it more.
We played this song at the end of the memorial service.
When the Lord Closes the Door (He Opens a Little Window)
When I find myself alone in my house and in my head
And I blow the candles out and I take myself to bed
And I'm old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know
When the lord closes the door, he opens a little window.
When sleep closes my eyes and sends me searching for you
And I'm feelin' blue as the sky without your love to carry me through
And I'm weak enough to be afraid but strong enough to let it show.
When the lord closes the door, he opens a little window.
Baby I'm a gypsy boy, I'll ride the night until
I come to you like moonlight through your raggle-taggle window sill.
When you find yourself alone in your house and in your head
And you blow the candles out and you take yourself to bed
And you're old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know
When the lord closes the door, he opens a little window.

This song was one of Paul's dad's favorite song to sing when Paul was young.
Of course, we couldn't play this at the memorial... ;)
Ol' ben lucas had a lot of mucus
Comin' right out of his nose.
He picked and picked till it made you sick
But back again it grows.
Well, ol' ben lucas had a lot of mucus
Comin' right out of his nose.
He picked and picked till it made you sick,
But back again it grows.
When it's cotton picking time in texas,
Boys, it's booger picking time for ben.
He'd raise that finger mean and hostile
Stick it in that waitin' nostril,
Here he comes with a green one once again.
All right, pick it, eric!
Ol' ben lucas had a lot of mucus
Comin' right out of his nose.
He picked and picked till it made you sick,
But back again it grows.
Everybody!
Ol' ben lucas had a lot of mucus
Comin' right out of his nose,
He picked and picked till it made you sick
But back again it grows.
