With things that have happened over the last few days it got me thinking "Is it coincidence or something else?
To start at the beginning I was at one of the Folk Clubs that I occasionally play and sing at last Friday and one of the members said that they would like me to sort out something that we could do as a duet. I wracked my brains and decided that the Creedance Clearwater Revival song "Have you ever seen the rain" would suit both of our voices as well as my style of playing. I went on line and printed off the lyrics and chords for "Have you ever seen the rain" and put them on my desk in the bedroom and forgot about them. OK, moving on, I had to got to Bristol to "lay my brother at rest" yesterday and would you believe that the song that Mick (My late brother) had chosen as the "walk in" music for the cremation was "Have you ever seen the rain", and that hit me like a ton of bricks! Well the funeral service was great (Both mick and Jean were non conformists and did not share the same beliefs as me but that was no problem to me ! I do not believe in pushing my beliefs on to others - Every one to their own)
Anyhow the service was very good and quite "light hearted" and there was a huge turnout - Over 100 people, the crematorium was full, which was so pleasing to see!
OK moving on again - We got home this afternoon and spent time relaxing and "winding down" after the long drive. I put my PC on and eventually (Just an hour ago) had a look at You-Tube and would you believe that the first video listed for me to view was Creedance Clearwater Revival playing "Have you ever seen the rain"!
Now I am not sure on "coincidences" but this seemed as bit too much for my feeble little brain to handle!
Have you guys ever have had unexplained "coincidences" like this that you could not explain?
If you have lets hear about them please.
P.S. Please Guys, there is no need offer "condolences", that is not what Mick would have wanted, he was quite firm in his "orders/instructions" for his funeral (Yes he had it all planned out in advance), he wanted everyone to be happy and celebrate his life and not mourn for his passing, that is the way that Mick was! Mick was a much bigger and stronger man than I will ever be and I have so much respect, love and admiration for him for that!
