Maxlugar Did anyone else see that news item on IORR about Mick playing amazing Grace on harp and Keith and Ronnie playing guitars for Chuch's funeral?

That must have been a real tear jerker!

I posted the news on July 25 one day after the funeral and I'm sure it was not recorded.

Honky Tonk Man Now come on!, who the fuck would really want to hear it anyway? Most likely sounded bloody awful

They also played it - with vocals - at Mick's mom's funeral. I bet THAT really WAS a tearjerker, as the lyrics reference a mother dying.

Enough of this depressing stuff. SPIV! SPIV! SPIV!

Prodigal Son Ah, Alex. Do not judge a book by its cover. Sounds ballyhoo and awful for the Stones to do "Amazing Grace" but who knows? It could've been beautiful. I mean, our beloved hardcore Stones fans around here would ask for a mixing board bootleg even if they played the alphabet song or "My Dog Has Fleas" or dare I say it, "Sing This Song All Together (See What Happens)." So it just makes it better to find if it was a good folk song at a funeral for their guitiar technician.

jb Very touching.

Mother baby FYI, that song was actually written (or at least the lyrics) by a "Scarred Old Slaver". According to the myth the guy penned when he was going down with a ship. Repented of being the slave trader when he was shown to the door.

Honky Tonk Man No, No, jb is right. It is very touching indeed.
