Wow... Creative wake...
http://www.jsonline.com/news/obituaries/54027412.html

As a bass player in dozens of Milwaukee country and rock bands over the years, Mike Spellman was a real pro, never hot-dogging or calling attention to himself, just playing what the music required.

But he did like to enjoy himself. That's why Saturday, following his instructions for his wake, the funeral home will display his body in his favorite recliner, with a Budweiser in his hand and his bass guitar nearby.

Safe passage and RIP to what sounds like a good guy.

2. Rest easy, friend.

You've had to play "Mustang Sally", "Brown Eyed Girl", and "Margaritaville" for the last time.

May God greet you with, "Job well done, oh good and humble servant." And may he not make you enter Heaven by way of the loading dock, near the dumpsters, through the kitchen.

May eternity for you be filled with good tunes, an open bar, and no brother-in-laws sitting in on drums.
