That's a circle that turns round upon itself (Blossom Dearie)

I always liked Blossom Dearie, not only for her talent, which was formidable, but for her unique vocal instrument and sense of humor. It's probably unfair and condescending of me to take her voice and wit and public persona and from that presume to know her personality—but she always seemed bizarre, quirky, and very likable.



So how did I never realize that it was that voice, that unmistakable voice, that was behind a couple of the best Schoolhouse Rock episodes? It's like, I dunno, finding out your grandmother was in The Empire Strikes Back: Parts of the world that you adore were connected in ways that you never expected and therefore of which you were completely unaware; and seeing the connection for the first time makes the universe more satisfying and lovely.
