Welcome to Celebrate Poe - my name is George Bartley and this is episode 321 - Answer to Listener
The intro music was Come Rest in This Bosom - said to be Edgar Poe’s favorite song.
I’d like to start with a whooper of an apology - last month - yes, last month - I got a kind message with my podcast episode on my iPhone - I was so elated that I did an entire episode in response to the individual’s comments - but I was moving some files around and promptly lost it - I had foolishly named it Attend to This - which of course made it impossible to find. Well, just a few minutes ago I was trying to clean up my Mac desktop, opened a file named Attend to This - and saw in was the podcast script I wrote in response to the message - So before I loose it again, this episode is a response to that message. And thanks for your patience.
The message read:
Thank you for this podcast, Mr. Bartley. It's a refreshing look at Poe’s life and times. I just now finished John Allen's will episode. I'm pro Poe and no matter what he did, I believe that Mr. Allan was wrong to not leave him anything in his will. perhaps he thought Poe would accomplish more if he had to do it on his own? Perhaps we would not have the soulful poems poe left us? I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this matter? 5 stars (For privacy purposes I am not going to say the person’s name - you never know.)
Well, thank you for writing. And the person gave me 5 stars. Thank you.
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.
