Sorry folks, no write-up to with the playlists this week. Our Landlord Peter did a very extensive intro so I don’t have much to add. The tunes can speak for themselves this week, I think. I will also leave you with a bonus Instrumental / Classical, etc I-list, and quote with a hat tip and thanks to Chris7572:
"I've got this one spirit that's laying roses on me. Roses, roses, can't get enough of those bloody roses. The rose is the most prominent image in the human brain, as to delicacy, beauty, short-livedness, thorniness. It's a whole. There is no better allegory for, dare I say it, life, than roses”. – Robert Hunter
Or you could just go with Gertie and see a rose as just a rose.
