When I Die...

csberryPeople who come to my memorial service will receive "Cory's Life in a Box." Which will have some photos, but it's mostly a box-set of the soundtrack of my life. The CDs will include:
1. Soundtrack made for the memorial
2. Soundtrack from Wedding Reception (all 4 hours' worth)
3. CD made for 5th Wedding Anniversary (and subsequent anniversary soundtracks)
4. My last broadcast at V-91 (Bama's student run station)
5. Collection of RoadKill stunts I did while in talk radio
6. A CD I am creating titled "Soundtrack of Cory's Life" which will hit the songs that are eternally tied into my life ("Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes is the best example - hearing that song my soph year in high school changed my whole perception of music/pop music). The "SofCL" will have liner notes explaining each song's insertion in the CD.
I plan on being cremated. Would a pinch of my ashes in each box be too creepy?
No really...

Date: 2005-02-28 08:44 pm (UTC)Our wedding was probably about 5-7 minutes long...IF it was even 5 minutes long.
I didn't want to hire a DJ (too many cheesy ones out there) or a band (let's remember I was in Nashville at this time...I could have auditioned bands for 3 years). I talked over songs with JD and recorded 4 hours of music onto DAT in long play. I timed out and inserted musical cues when we would cut the cake (Cake - "Stickshifts and Safety Belts"), when we'd leave (Etta James "At Last" followed by some downtempo songs that we didn't care if anyone heard), and then put in a personal message thanking the in-laws and telling everyone to dance (which launched right into ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" and about an hour or so worth of disco/techno/dance music).
I'll copy/paste the playlist sometime this evening after getting home.
Besides, each of these items will be on different discs. If/when you come to my memorial and get the box, you won't be forced to ever listen to the CDs/AudioDVDs/whatever you don't want to hear.

there is something very calming about my corpse being plant food.
