(It’s) Blossom (Dearie)

Margrethe Blossom Dearie

Profile:

American jazz singer and pianist.
Born: April 28, 1924 in East Durham, New York, USA.
Died: February 7, 2009 in New York City, New York, USA.
After high school, Dearie moved to New York to pursue a music career. Dropping her first name, she began to sing in groups including The Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and The Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey’s band) before starting her solo career.
Dearie moved to Paris in 1952, forming a vocal group, the Blue Stars.

All I wanted to do was post about the burgeoning blossom in the orchard, but I found a (metaphorical) rabbit hole exploring just whom Blossom Dearie was. Interesting or not?

Lovely strong blossom from the apple and pear trees, just need to keep a frost alert watch.
