Spotify Wrapped: 2020 Edition

I thought this was worth highlighting from my listening statistics for this year.

No surprise there. I discovered her work in April and became a huge fan over the course of the year, as I mentioned once before.

But in the top 0.05% of listeners?

That surprised me a little.

I’m gonna go ahead and say that I am the NUMBER ONE Blossom Dearie fan on Spotify. I don’t think that anybody will dispute me on that.

I also “discovered” this song. People are always trying to copy me. Thank you, Spotify, for pointing out that I am a trend setter, cool hunter, and arbiter of taste. I always thought as much.

1,491 minutes. That’s just a little over 24 hours — one full day of listening. I wonder which day of 2020 should count as Blossom day? Not a bad tribute to a superb performer; another one of my favorites that I’ll never get to see live.

Forever remind yourself.

The comments section on this video describes it as 70’s Italian cocaine lounge music. Psychedelia. Dunno, but I like it. I suppose this goes out to all you folks tripping today in Oregon.

Last year around this time I’d just visited a Spirit Halloween Store. This year I’ve not yet made the trip. Looks like they’re back in the same location — just across the street from the Barnes and Noble in what used to be a Pier One Imports, I believe. The theme this year is “masks.”

There’s certainly a lot to be afraid of this year. Isn’t there?

🍂 The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold 🍁

The days grow shorter now, and soon we’ll hear old winter’s song…

Too long away from regular posting here.

Hope you are ready and waiting to catch whatever autumn we’re granted. It’ll be on us quickly now, in a flash. And then gone all too soon. May all the badness of this year go with it, and may we never see its like again.
