Remember, to come to my birthday party on thursday, October 18th!
I'll be waiting for you!
MUAH!
Love always, Annette, "That's All!"
A rare film of Annette Hanshaw now in the public domain. A hugely popular
jazz singer during the late 1920's and early 1930's.
She was one of those women who was beautiful by just being herself.
A very cool lady who epitomises the age of glamour perfectly.
There has been recently revived interest in Annette with the animated
film, "Sita Sings the Blues," which features performances by Annette. Go to youtube to see it for free!
During the Depression, Captain Henry's Maxwell House Showboat took
listeners back to happier times of the Old South. The show broke ground
for the way it combined fictional characters like Captain Henry with
real life cast members like Annette Hanshaw. Showboat was the most
popular program on radio from 1933-1935 and Annette Hanshaw, a regular
on the program, was America's Sweetheart and the nation's most popular
female singer. The show aired nationwide on NBC affiliates every
Thursday evening.

My daughter woke me around 11:50 last night. My husband and I had picked
her up from her friend Sally's birthday party, brought her home, and put
her to bed. My husband went into the bedroom to read while I fell asleep
watching the Lions game."Mommy," she whispered, tugging my shirt
sleeve. "Guess how old I'm going to be next month.""I don't know,
beauty," I said as I slipped on my glasses. "How old?"She smiled and
held up four fingers.It is 7:30 now. My husband and I have been up with her
for almost 8 hours. She still refuses to tell us where she got them.
Stoppin'
by with yet another tale...Enjoy & have a great night out there on
your end dear friend...
