Baby Dee: Clevelands Harp Playing Transgender Legend

SFBayTimes.com – By Jacob Anderson-Minshall

Fifty-something classically- trained musician, Baby Dee – who just began releasing albums this decade – has an eclectic resume (including stints as go-go girl and circus freak), and an equally colorful collection of friends including the “legendary strip club genius” from the East Village’s notorious Pyramid Club, who once set the stage on fire by shooting flames from her, uh lady-parts.

“All that stuff about my life – the oddities and stupidities of it, I find incredibly boring,” insists Dee now. “Which is not too say that I don’t love all the wonderful people I’ve known and loved – like Otter, the fire lady; or Jen, the bearded lady; or Eak, the strong man; or John Kamikaz, the prince.”
