Music Monday: Time of Your Life

Posted on June 15, 2015 | 11 Comments

This is one of my favorite songs by my favorite band, Green Day, and last week it was part of a wonderful moment. Sadly, one of my neighbors passed away too young due to cancer. My son, his son, and his brother in law played this song on acoustic guitars, with my son singing, before the internment at the cemetery and the crowd of about 60 mourners sang along together and raised a glass in toast at the end.

Have a great Monday! No, correct that, have the time of your life! ~ Phil

    I am sorry to hear about your neighbor, but you all serenaded him with a lovely song.

    Great song for a sad occasion (or just a wistful one, frankly). My condolences, Phil.

    Sounds like a brilliant bitter sweet moment. Hope you have listened to my blog launch party playlist as this song, your song appears!
