They say it's spring...
Blossom Dearie is a jazz musician from the 1960s that I have been fond of for several years now. I first heard one of her songs from watching the movie, The Squid and the Whale and was enamoured with her child-like voice and lyrics.
Today, as I was walking around my neighbourhood and enjoying the spring-like weather, Blossom's song "They say it's Spring" unexpectedly popped into my head. When I got home, I went onto YouTube and tried to find that particular song so that I may listen to it. I stumbled on someone's tribute to Blossom Dearie and quickly came to the realization that she passed away recently.
I leave you with a random YouTube clip featuring Blossom Dearie's song: "They Say it's Spring."
R.I.P. Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1924 - February 7, 2009)

I'm glad it feels like spring where you are! Here, not so much. Sigh.
kickpleat: It's been cold here, but there is also a hint of spring in the air. I just hope we don't get more snow in April. That would really be a bummer!
