Funeral for a husband, love lies bleeding

[cczamo]

Elton John's Funeral For a Friend, Love Lies Bleeding has been a favorite since early college days. It immediately grabbed me in the '70s, and so apt for my story now.
Even as recent as Nov 2013, H and I went up and down French Quarter New Orleans, and some club had a great band doing covers there. This one I kept yelling out to be played (with too much Hurricane's in my system to know it wouldnt be possible for band to play this type of song). H even went up to band member and gave them tip to play another Elton song. We had a great time on that last trip together in N.O./Biloxi. A once a year small vacay we'd enjoyed together.
Hard to believe it's so close, yet so far away....
