Sir, – Due to the climate crisis I have been forced to instruct my executor to disallow Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. However, Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye should be fine. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Some time ago I asked our youngest son to do MC at my farewell gig when the time comes and I’ve been texting him occasionally asking him to add certain favourite music and songs as they occur to me.
However, the list has now grown so long that he recently commented to me that the undertaker might be saying to those assembled “Have ye no homes to go to?” – Yours, etc,

Sir, – My husband and I attended his late cousin’s cremation some time ago. Her choice of final song was Closing Time by Leonard Cohen! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
