My Uncle Clarence died recently. I did not attend the funeral. I received a memorial card and a memorial slide show DVD. Out of curiosity, I watched the DVD, and saw a man, several generations removed from my own, going through the snappy 50's and 60's and into the atrociously dressed 70's, fighting a war, raising a daughter, hanging with the other deacons at the local church, and spending quality time with his grandkids. By all appearances, he was a good guy, but he seemed a little stubborn, a little stiff, and a shade cranky. I met him later and I was right on all counts.
For various reasons, I really did not know my uncle during his lifetime, but yet there I was listed as an honorary pall bearer on the memorial card. And just as I was volunteered, by persons unknown, to be there in spirit, just as unexpectedly, Clarence showed up at my house, in ghostly fashion, to see what I was doing with my life. And what I was doing was making a mellow mix with death in mind. So Clarence and I rapped a bit. This was a clash from jump. And Clarence doesn't approve and I don't know why not, but I think I'll start a four mix series called the Sex and Death Quartet.
And, if by some strange twist of boredom I ever visit his crypt, I will listen to this mix on the way.

Uncle Clarence said his biggest regret is not dating Nadine Ford in the 11th grade. I asked him why this song made him think of her. He wasn't sure, he just knew it did. I told him to look for her in the afterworld or netherworld or wherever. He said that word round the street lamp was that she was reincarnated as an as yet undiscovered breed of microscopic dinosaur. And no, I'm not going to put Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey on this mix, so, Clarence, stop asking. SHOW LESS
