Marching Band

I rode my bike tonight to the city and along the way there was a wake at some house. What was unique about this wake was that there was a full piece marching band that blocked the whole (kinda major) road but they were playing so well that I had to stop and listen. The band played 'True' from Spandau Ballet and 'After the Love has Gone' from Earth, Wind, and Fire. Hardly dirges but they played it so well and it gives you an idea of how the person lived. May he/she rest in peace and somehow his/her request for a marching band made the living a little happier (that would be me)
