Thank you so much for this article. At 90, and as a lifelong music industry writer, publicist, manager (etc. etc.) I face the end of my life with some trepidation. Let it be, indeed! As an extension to this Substack, why not ask your readers to list the songs they would like to have played at their funeral, or at a celebration of their life?

My own choices:

“At the Dimming of the Day” — Richard and Linda Thompson

“Let the Mystery Be — Iris Dement

“Somewhere along the Road” — Steeleye Span
