Author Topic: I need a Bob Wills song to play on guitar for a funeral  (Read 587 times)

TL;DR- My great grandfather died last Thursday and I was hired by my grandma to learn some Bob Wills songs to play on his birthday, which would have been tomorrow. Instead, tomorrow is his funeral and I'm only going to play one song at his service. I need a good Bob Wills song to play on guitar. Go!


 He and my great grandmother used to dance at clubs to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys (he came to Oklahoma A LOT) back in the 40's. I know it would mean a lot to my grandma if I played a song there. The problem is that a song that is appropriate for a birthday party might not be appropriate or suited for a funeral. So, I call upon thee BLF. I'm looking for something not too upbeat but not too depressing either. I don't want to make light of his service but he and my great-grandma were also together for over 70 years.

Right now all I have is "Going Away party"
