Primrose and the Violet T

By Amy Watson

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.
