Passed away Saturday at the age of 82.
Funny that I had just mentioned her a few weeks ago when I was talking about my mp3s. I'm not sure if I'm more surprised to find out that she was still alive or that she was only 82. I might have been thinking of Bessie Sweet.

I didn't realize she was still around, either. My online Broadway station always has a few songs by her over the course of the day. Fun stuff, too.

Wow. Goes to show you that thinking straight in the morning is not my thing. I read this and thought "Holy crap! Grandmama Addams must've been a lot younger that she looked on 'The Addams Family'".
Duh. That was Blossom ROCK (aka Marie Blake). I looked it up. She'd be going on 113 if she were still around.

Last night, I downloaded Blossom Dearie's version of "Some Other Time," from On the Town onto my Sansa Fuze.
Then, I get here and read this.

Next you'll be telling me she was the grandmother of Kid Rock.
