Celtophilia Week of Voltaire - Graveyard Picnic

Welcome back, we're glad you're here!


I love Edgar Allan Poe, I have ever since I got hold of The Raven in a textbook. Voltaire has written a tribute to our opium addicted, obsessed with the dark friend which is remarkably haunting. A beautiful photo essay of a graveyard in Champaign-Urbana is set to the strains of this tune called (appropriately enough) Graveyard Picnic. This is one of my very favorite Voltaire songs, and I will sing it (badly, ask Mike) with minimal provocation.

Note from Mike: Nobody tell Bonnie I said this, but her singing voice is actually kinda sweet and calming.
