Primrose and the Violet T

The 1930’s reissue electrical recording of

“Rhapsody in Blue” was created in 1927 on

April 21st, the same day Prince aka The

Artist, my inspiration, passed a few days

after I finished “Primrose.” This was right

before the Pink Moon similar to his movie,

“Under The Cherry Moon”.

This is the same day as Queen Elizabeth II’s

birthday in 1926. The Victrola “Rhapsody in

Blue” version was recorded was in 1924 on

June 10th, the same day as King Phillip’s

birthday in 1921. “Rhapsody in Blue” was

written on a train going to Boston, MA

and was released in 1924 on February 12th,

Abe Lincoln’s birthday, the same day I

began my “Amelia” painting, per the request

of a bandleader after he saw him improvise

with Canadian singer, Eva Gauthier in New

York City on November 1, 1923.
