I know, right?  However, that's EXACTLY what mourners experienced when  they attended a memorial or musician Brentnol McPherson.  There he was, sitting behind his five-piece drum kit in a bright yellow jumpsuit.  In case you were wondering, McPherson was carried to his final resting place in a traditional coffin.
