A traditional New Orleans Jazz Funeral for the late tuba player Kerwin James. He died in Oct. 2007. Alot of viewers have been asking whats the reason for rocking the casket, it's so he can dance one last time. I also have a Mardi Gras Black Indian Funeral video on here too. I must WARN you it is'nt your "typical" funeral. For more videos, pics and New Orleans unique culture check out my myspace page at www.myspace.com/onenawlins

Oct 6, 2008 - Cómo se llama esa canción?(I need the song name, please)
onenawlins Says:
Oct 6, 2008 - The name of the song is "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" . You might have a hard time finding this version because its all improvised.

Oct 6, 2008 - This is definately a celebration of his life!!! I'm sorry but all I could think of when the pall bearers started swaying and lifting and really rocking the casket was poor Kerwin sliding around into one of the corners. I guess he wouldn't care anyway. What a send off.
