Kramer

Imagine if Kramer (Seinfeld series, in case a reader knows not of this character) opened a door and Ms Garry appeared. We can only ponder that the visual and aural reaction would be quite something to witness.

The lady leans

Good thing there’s a piano there, or the poor lady might fall flat on her face.

Interesting hairstyle

That one may be called a “Tidal Wave”.

The hair

That is one spankin’ package: the sleeves, the nails, the decolletage, the mouth, the eyebrows, the hair. All the power to her! But I can’t figure out the hair, especially that snowplow up top.

3 x 5

Ms. Garry's trio seems to have eventually morphed into a quintet. 1920-2008: she appears to have lived a full life that was as long as it was ... uhm, well-rounded.

That's a quartet

if ever I've seen one.

Once billed as the "Songbird of Ohio"

Garry was both an accomplished jazz singer and bassist.
