Blossom Dearie

This has nothing to do with microlights or G-MYRO but everything to do with the passage of time and the passing of youth. I just heard today that Blossom Dearie, the American jazz singer, passed away in February.

Back in the late 60s when I was very young, footloose and fancy free a few of us used to go to Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in Soho, London and we heard Blossom Dearie sing live there many times. How sad to know that she’s gone. Every time someone who you knew and loved in your youth passes away they take a little bit of your life with them that can never be replaced.

Here’s a Youtube link to Blossom singing live at Ronnie Scott’s at about the same time as I used to go there. She sounds exactly as I remember her. What a lovely lady with a smile in her voice.
