So, now, back in New Orleans, we have lots of many, we have lots of many, well, we haven't
been in Germany too long, we have so many special things.
I would call them quirks.
First, one thing, since we're below sea level, as we all know now, we bury people above the
ground, which is weird.
And we also have jazz funerals, where we have a brass band, and we walk the coffin through
the city with the brass band playing like a slow drop.
And they're like, oh, it's done, it's just like so sad.
Then, after we drop the body off in the above-ground grave, we have a party.
And at this party, there's alcohol, lots of music, dancing, and this is probably the most
famous song for that event.
It's called Just a Closer Walk with Thee. Yeah.
