A Message to Garcia
from The Rose Rhapsody · host The Rose Theatre
“A Message to Garcia” is a widely distributed essay written by Elbert Hubbard in 1899, extolling the value of individual initiative and conscientiousness in work as seen through the example of an American soldier delivering a crucial letter from President McKinley to the leader of Cuban insurgents “somewhere in the mountain vastnesses of Cuba.” Although not without controversy and historical inaccuracies, the essay continues to be a popular missive on leadership and dedication in the face of adversity. Performances featured in this episode include the vocal artistry of Christopher Lane and the iconic trumpet sounds of Markus Rutz alongside his collaborator on the keys, Adrian Ruiz.
