My son got me hooked on Treme. I used to tell my family to drop me off in the Needles section of Canyonlands, Utah. Beautiful wild country. Now, because of my renewed exposure to the musical culture of NOLA I tell em, when I go, you better second line!
This beautiful song expressed so sorrowful full of burdens and pain But when this song finishes your soul will be comforted and you will feel stronger!!! A few tears help also Soothes the heart!!!
I first found out about the New Orleans funeral tradition from of all places a Bond movie-Live and Let Die. Then I heard Richard Pryor explain why the song changes from mournful on the way to the burial to happy on the way back. I think it went like this "We had a good time while he was here and we're still gonna have a good time."

Because New Orleans is below sea level. If you bury the dead and there is a flood, the people you have buried will become unburied. If you place your dead in the vaults (of various types) if the water rises, the bodies remain entombed, which is where you really want them to stay.
how old are you? Nevermind here you go. Nobody is celebrating a death. They are celebrating a wonderful life a human being lived before moving on to glory. Simply put.
Wendell Edward Pierce is an American actor. He is best known for his roles in HBO dramas, such as Detective Bunk Moreland in The Wire, trombonist Antoine Batiste in Treme.
I am literally watching James Bond “Live and Let Die” and it brought me here.
"Who's funeral is it?" "Yours."
Treme was one of the best shows on television.
Lay me to rest with these men playing at my funeral. A better piece of music you could not find or hear
The saddest most beautiful song ever...and not a note out of place.
This version of Closer Walk to Thee is so full of sentiment. The trumpet player is a master..
My late husband was Trumpet master. I played this at his funeral as he was taken out of the church. A great Dirge song.

That is soooooo good. The whole band is amazing and the trumpet player's tone...just glorious!
R.I.P. Uncle Lionel.. Love ya Unc.. Know Heaven did get more musical when you went home. God Bless and Love ya!!
Many was the night on Frenchman when I got to be graced with the presence of Unc. His humour and grace will never be matched.
R.I.P Lionel Baptise. The heaven is full of music!
One can only wish to be buried so beautifully

That happens after the person is laid to rest. They play I'll Fly Away
@Celestion321 Yes, i had No idea. Found Out the scene id from New orleans and Does Play bone!!
What movie or tv show is this from? Just curious
Treme from HBO
Please forgive my ignorance, but could somebody tell me who's playing lead trumpet ?
I know he is famous but simply can't remember his name.
Individual mausoleums because it is New Orleans and the water table is right there.
C'est de Jaze?
Hi folks.
Lots of boarded up home sin the back?
Where was it filmed and when?
Rose White New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.
HEEEEEEL goed.

Yours.
Seely green
Hey I just posted a version of this great song...peace
what elements of jazz can we hear here? I cannot quite understand the concepts. Its blues?
*should have said CAN become unburied.
Why are all the caskets above ground?!?
Toasty Volvo New Orleans is below sea level. Digging 6ft will put you in water.
exTREME shit -
Inappropriate as in a century of celebrating insted of mouring death. Dont worry, if you dont want it, you dont have to be apart of it.
who down vote a closer walk? spawns of the Devil I guess :)
