You're probably right, and "Leader of the Band" would honor both him and his father; but I also like the lines "Illinois, I'm your boy," and "There's a place in the world for a gambler," if they're just going to use one line. I think "River of Souls" would be great, also, especially the lines,
"To every man the mystery
Sings a different song
He fills his page of history
Dreams his dreams and is gone"
The theme of rivers ran so deeply through so many of his songs, didn't it?
I would love to see a similar memorial in Deer Isle with the lyrics to "The Reach" written there. And another in Pagosa Springs, maybe with some lines from "The Wild Places."
