Cake for Blake: Celebrating Blake’s Birthday at UNBC November 20th, 2007

Next week I will be helping the UNBC English Department to celebrate Blake’s 250th birthday by giving an informal talk about his life, art, and music, and by singing a few of his songs and showing slides of his artwork.  The event will be held on Blake’s birthday, Wednesday November 28th, at 1:00 PM, in the Senate Chambers of the Administration Building at the University of Northern British Columbia.  All are invited.  There will be birthday cake!
