Catherine Annette Hanshaw was an American Jazz Age singer. She was one of the most popular radio stars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, with many of her most notable performances taking place on NBC's Maxwell House Show Boat. Over four million of her records had been sold by 1934, following the peak of her popularity.
In her ten-year recording career, she recorded about 250 sides. In a 1934 poll conducted by Radio Stars magazine, she received the title of best female popular singer. Second place went to Ethel Shutta, third place went to Ruth Etting, and fourth place went to Kate Smith.
After two weeks of fever, bad cough, and aches and pains all over (COVID), I'm getting my taste for food back, and I'm smelling my nose again, when my airways aren't too congested...
but my right hand is still giving me trouble..
I feel like a rag doll and don't dare take a step without my cane!!!
I collapse from weakness, without warning....
Luckily, I always have my cell phone in my pocket and my neighbors across the street have the keys to come and help me!!! (They're both nurses)
I don't dare disturb them too much... they have shifts that involve nights... they also need rest!!!
When I'm down and can't get up, I'm happy to see them arrive...
I'll try to come and greet you as often as possible... but I need a lot of rest, and I sleep a lot... the rest of the time, I spend preparing my meals...
