I was at a funeral of a friend of 40 years standing yesterday. An incredible person with incredible taste in books, music and films. A life long devoted anti-fascist too.
He is one of a small number of people I know who truly loved Alice Coltrane. in his last days i hope i gave him a little joy by sharing some Alice bootlegs with him.
At the funeral he had requested Turiya & Ramakrishna be played in its entirety. Hearing that in a room full of his nearest and dearest in such a highly chaged emotional environment was quite a moment in time!

I’m sorry for your loss. (And that’s an awesome idea for a homegoing service, one that probably helped everyone process their grief.)

I'm also sorry for your loss, stirmonster. Whenever I hear "Galaxy In Turiya" I think to myself, "I want this played at my funeral." Glad to know there are others on the same wavelength.
