Steel Players' Obituary: Yours?

Michael Breid · Post by **Michael Breid** » 19 Jun 2006 6:26 pm

After I'm cremated and my ashes scattered around the woods at my cabin, I wanted a small stone to say this. My wife says, "No way". Hopefully, I've got some friends out there who will put a small stone somewhere saying my last thought before I left this world. Luckily, the Homeland Security people won't see it and think it's some terrorist plot to overthrow the U.S. Whereever the stone is placed, rest assured I will appreciate it. Thanks to all of you for being my friends. Michael in the Ozarks

"Here lies (your name here). Beside him is interred his beloved and faithful partner. She stuck with him through thick and thin. She was always a 10, 5 + 2. On his other side, his wife."

Brings to mind a friend of mine, Hugh Axton, (cousin of Hoyt) that followed a band I was in in the 80s. He was always offering to finance us, and I guess did put up some money for the female singers' recordings etc.

I considered asking him to loan me a couple grand to buy a van our bandleader was selling at the breakup. I know he would have, but I don't like to borrow money.

He died at 50, in his sleep soon after, and I always felt guilty because I wished I would have asked..

I want to go like my granpa-peacefully, in my sleep...

...and not screaming in terror like the passengers in the back of his car...

Some of these had me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of the chair. Thanks Donna for bringing it back.

Here lies Curt. He picked around a little on the pedal and non pedal steel. He never made any money at it, as the market for steel guitar in country music had declined to almost nonexistant. But he loved playing anyway. Yes, he was a very passionate keyless man. Often at the root of some very heated debates. The stess of his day job is probably to be blame for his demise.
They say his keyless Sierra never did break a string, and always returned to pitch.
And to this day, if you listen close, you can still hear that Sierra sustainig his last plucked chord![This message was edited by Curt Langston on 23 June 2006 at 05:34 AM.]
