Episode 6: History, Music, and Mortality with David Childers and Phil Chaney
In this week’s episode of Death, et seq., I am talking to two of my favorite people about two very different topics. First, I’ll be talking to my uncle, Philip Chaney, about his experience growing up in a funeral family in a small town in Nebraska in the mid-20th century. Second, I’ll be talking to my friend David Childers, a recording artist on Ramseur Records, and the singer and guitar player that you hear along with my son Riley Sherman on the music that opens each episode of Death, et seq. Music is an important part of the rituals surrounding death, and I am looking forward to having a number of episodes in which I talk to musicians about the connection between music and mortality. So, today on Death, et seq. — history, music, and mortality.
