I used to sing that song all the time.........
while I was going to A&M (late 1970s). Must be something in the water down there. Your grandfather sounds like he was a prince.
15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:15-20
Clearly, your pawpaw was grafted onto the Vine and producing good fruit.

Absolutely. The song Gloomy Monday, wholly instrumental, was even banned in some places because it was said to lead people to commit suicide.
Gloomy Sunday perhaps?
There is a Gloomy Monday, but yes, apparently I meant Gloomy Sunday.

Thanks Bill. I absolutely love this version by Brother Iz, along with most of his other music. I dare say I want it played at my funeral.
The Minstrel Boy is another song that gives me chills and this version in particular is amazing:

some article wrote:On August 27, 1990, Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed when the helicopter he was flying in hit a man-made ski slope while trying to navigate through dense fog. Vaughn had played a show at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wisconsin with Robert Cray and His Memphis Horns and Eric Clapton. Vaughan was informed by a member of Clapton's crew that three seats were open on their helicopter, which was returning to Chicago. It turned out there was only one seat left; Vaughan requested it from his brother, who obliged. Three members of Eric Clapton's entourage were also killed. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
RIP SRV.

10,000 Maniacs - "Grey Victory"
This seems like a lively and upbeat tune, until you listen to the lyrics.

Randy Newman - "I Love LA"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcADqxnQA_4
Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl
Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we was born to ride

I make CDs for my wife for the times that I may not have the right words for her. Angel Eyes was the first song on the disc. When I ask her “what did I do?”, she points her finger to my chest and says “
because I know what’s in there”. I’m pretty sure it isn’t my pectoralis major.

Sometimes I make CDs too, obviously not for your wife
, but to convey a "message" to a special person.
