  • Songs (YouTube Vids) For My Memorial Service

    Now, don't go jumping to any hasty conclusions, guys. Hopefully, it won't be taking place anytime soon.



    Nonetheless, during a trip with my sister, to celebrate my last birthday, I expressed to her my wishes that, after my death, my ashes be taken back to the old Dye homestead in Pine Creek, Virginia, to be scattered, and explained that I wanted her and Ben to go together, if possible, to film the ceremony, and that there were certain songs I wanted to be played, that I would email to her later. This past weekend, I did so. Preceding the vids is a short tribute, written by myself, (Actually, it's a verse from an as-of-yet-unfinished song.) which pretty much sums up how I would like to be remembered. ---CGO

    "I don't care if anybody
    Ever knows my face, my story, or my name
    Or if, when my life is over,
    I'll have ever seen one day
    Of wealth or fame
    But I'd give my life
    To see St. Andrew's Standard
    Flying from a hill
    Above the flames
    One more time, for Samson,
    One more time for Jesse James."---CGO 12/2015.

    "Lay down your silver and your gold
    I am a man who won't be sold
    And even when my heart grows cold
    I'll curse your evil stranglehold."---Horslips, from "Trouble With A Capital 'T'", 1977.
