Anybody happen to record this? I was in class and unable to see it. I'd love to see the memorial, if possible.

Yes, Mr. Buffett had a very minor part in the memorial service, I suspect by his own preference. Alan Trousaint played piano for his mournful rendition of the song....you could tell by his voice that it was taking great effort to do so....he looked so sad!!! But no visible tears this time, unlike most other participants...

Couldnt tell who he was sitting with...didnt look like Jane or the kids, but never got a good look

Katie Couric showed a few clips and had some very touching things to say on the CBS evening news.

Their site right now says at 9:44 p.m. (how odd) and 4:30 a.m.

Sail on, Ed. We'll miss you.

Rest in peace Ed Bradley and your alter ego Teddy Badly. You made a big impact on our lives. Keep an eye on your family and friends. When I see you on the other side the beer's on me.

Musical performances at the service included a jazz group led by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis; Buffet singing "Do You Know What It Means New Orleans" with pianist Allen Toussaint; a church choir; and a New Orleans funeral brass band.

In the end, it was a rousing send off Ed Bradley would have loved, New Orleans-style.

They even got the name of the song wrong

I saw the last 30 minutes of this on the re-broadcast this morning. Unfortunately, that was not the part that Jimmy performed. Does anyone know if they are playing it again? Thanks!

I saw Jimmy's tribute in song to Teddy B. I am hoping though that somewhere out there is someone with a link to view the memorial. I have tried to get the video from the link to the story that was posted here, but nothing comes through when I click the video link. I would like my mother to see it...she has always liked Ed Bradley, and loves our Bubba.

I recorded the video of Jimmy singing and uploaded it to my photobucket account. Enjoy.

The whole service was 2 1/2 hours, but was incredibly moving. Charlayne Hunter-Gault's eulogy was wonderful. You might check to see if CSPAN replays it over the holiday weekend.

I keep forgetting you can't edit in the News thread.

According to the CSPAN website, the service is being rerun at 4:15 today (EST)
