Amen!

A fitting tribute for a great man and musician. A huge crowd on a hot and humid August day. It was a true honour to attend.

My Mom loved Pete's playing and the Dukes of Dixieland. We saw him on the Lawrence Welk Show. Can't wait to get to Preservation Hall again!

Loved Pete Fountain. Grew up listening to him and Al Hirt. What a fitting tribute to such a talented man!

A very powerful rendition of second-line "A Closer Walk With Thee." A fitting tribute

A beautiful coffin. Yes it was. Thanks for the one of a kind clarinet playing . A real master . Thanks.

I just saw the U tube, what a fitting send off for Pete.I will always remember meeting him on a number of occasions, a gentleman.

Such a beautiful outpouring of emotion and spirit expressed through music. Pete Fountain, New Orleans Royalty, RIP.

This is beautiful. Gods music on the journey up. Love this. I am the self proclaimed biggest Saints fan in England. When its my time (not just yet), I want this as my final wish. Bless New Orleans.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that! Now that's how to have a funeral!

An appropriate tribute to a great musician and a real classy gentleman. Thanks for the great music Pete!

God Bless Pete he was a friend of the Army EOD. 45th EOD to be precise.

Fell in with the Half Fast on a couple Mardi Gras weeks, though I was never a tenth the musician he was.

This is the real s***. Beautiful layers of harmony. Goodbye Pete.

Wonderful

That's what I want at my funeral!

* DAMN!!! HOW COOL IS THIS?!!!!!

Great send off For a Great Musician

I saw Pete, on the Lawrence Welk TV show, many times in the 1950s. Then, I saw him LIVE, in his club on Bourbon Street, in 1960, when I was just 18 years old. His first song, which he played for 20 minutes, was "I Found My Love in Avalon."

That was thousands and thousands of people...pete would of been impressed.

Todo un ícono de New Orleans, el mejor clarinete de USA

Well, Pete would have been happy with this procession..nothing, however, could do this great musician justice. RIP

My condolences and prayers are with your family and friends! Rest in peace Sir! You're loved and missed by so many people! Very beautiful casket and funeral precession!

Well done you horses...brilliant Funeral

Hope you and Al Hirt are playing together,

Erica Lewis and Shaye Cohn from "Tuba Skinny" should be getting funerals like this when the time comes. Best jazz Musicians in the history of the planet. Shaye Cohn should have a statue of her put up.

Don’t overdo it. There have been countless better bands that, I ,as a 78 year old musician have heard.

Is this the best they could do for the great Pete Fountain? Terrible band!
