Three Wishes
Baroness Pannonica inquired of Anita O’Day what her three wishes would be and she responded with:
- “To find a trio of swinging musicians who care for me enough to play with feeling; correct, musically and technically.”
- To keep all my necessary bills down to a minimum of which I’m sure I can keep them up to date.”
- “With high hopes to have some health. Hoping to have no cancer, which my mother did have. I do hope it does not run in the family. To be active until i die. You know! Up and at ’em, like!”
