Oh Rose!

In the words from Wikipedia, William Blake was an English poet, painter, and print maker of the Romantic Age. This past Sunday in Sierra Madre here in Los Angeles county, at a meetup with friends and family, I had a conversation at the dinner table about how excited I was to see the published work with illustrations of the graphic designer and poet William Blake at the Getty Museum a year ago in January of 2024.
At the time of talking about William Blake, I could not help myself but to recite his poem "The Sick Rose" that I first learned from high school. Since that conversation and recitation, I have been motivated to do a recording of the short poem. The recording has four takes of the same poem. Each take is slightly different with each consecutive take being faster than the previous one. Enjoy!
