I had seen this poem kicked around as an option for narrations in the last 2 polls and though it never got over the finish line, it stuck in my mind as one I'd like to read for you. One of your fellow patrons asked me to read it for their perk this month, so I thought I'd give it the FULL treatment and with their permission, I'm sharing it with all of you. I hope you enjoy "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert W. Service.

Geoff, I just can't get enough of your voice and your narrations, so thank you for making it available to everybody. Can't wait for your next Songs since your singing voice is equally incredible. Sorry, am I gushing about you too much? I just can't help myself 😅🥰😳

Jessica

Awesome job Geoff I love all of your videos

Katie D

I've never read this before, wow. That ending was super creepy! Well done Geoff, and thank you! 👏 And thank YOU, Debs 😁💗

Leah Hanson

I loved this. I'm not one for horror-type things, but I love poems that rhyme, and this one sounds more sweet to me than scary.

Cindy Barber

That was awesome Geoff!! Really enjoyed listening to this a lot. I know I have heard this before, but it's been a long time. 🥰🙂

Kimberly Friend

Definitely needed this today. Awesome job!

Sophie Plourde

Thanks Geoff!! Can't wait to listen to this after work😄

Rebecca Hendricks

I know I read this in school, but since we're about the same age, I won't say how long ago that was. I had completely forgotten about it until today. Amazing job, Geoff! Loved t!

Nadia Davì

Thank you Debs🤗!!! Thank you Geoff!!! Another unexpected gift, after the ones from few days ago. I'm always fascinated by how your voice fits perfectly into any type of story. Loved it!

Hunter

Hm. Starting the week off with darkness and fire are we? How droll.

Carol Cook

Thank you so much for this awesome reading! This was the favorite poem of my former husband who recited it at the campfire on our many backpacking trips in the Sierras. When he died, at his request, we scattered his ashes there, and read this poem. Not as ably as you! ❤️

Helen A

Macabre but with a hint of humor. What a nice surprise to come home from work to!

SisterofWar

Goodness, it had been years since I'd read this one. Wonderful job, as always, Mr. Castellucci!

There are so many reasons why I love this. My grandfathers read Service poems to me when I was young and he passed away a couple years ago. I performed this poem in high school forensics with coaching from my father to perfect Sam's southern accent during his dialog (I'm from WI where the cold doesn't bother people because we're not real people). It's all around my favorite poem of all time. Thank you!!!

Cassandra Collins

That was amazing, thank you so much. That was one of my mother's favorite poems and your rendition is beautiful. And as Los Angeles native I share Sam's dislike of the cold.

Hunter

Ha! I live in Canada, and every year in our winters, EVERYONE wishes they could be cremated to keep warm.

Karie

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. Thank you Geoff, you did not disappoint!
