In our sister paper The Morning Call, in Allentown, Pa., transgendered singer-songwriter-harpist-pianist Baby Dee knocks down efforts to get background:

"I never reveal my birth name! Wikipedia can go to hell!"

We do know she grew up in Cleveland. But she calls biography "a bore" and as Morning Call correspondent Len Righi writes:

Bowing to her request, the conversation steers clear of such potentially boring topics as her days as a harp-playing bear in Central Park and Paris; a tricycle-riding accordion-playing cat; a Catholic church organist; a ''bilateral hermaphrodite'' at a Coney Island sideshow, and a Kamikaze Freakshow performer who lay on broken glass while concrete slabs were broken over her head with a sledge hammer.

None of which is discussed here.
