From Blossom's Blues
"My name is Blossom, I was raised in a lion's den. My name is Blossom, I was raised in a lion's den. My nightly occupation, is stealing other women's men."
Blossom Dearie, April 28th, 1928 -- February 7th, 2009
I'm a bookseller and a used books buyer of more than 30 years experience and a lifelong bibliophile. I've been married in all but legality to my husband Allen for more than 35 years.
I LOVE Blossom Dearie. With a voice like that I might not even mind if she stole my man. What a loss.
ReplyDeleteI have a cold, so it took me a little extra time, but I added a real tribut to her just now, below the quote.
