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.
She was a prolific performer (with over 780 recordings!), and made records under dozens of pseudonyms including Gay Ellis for sentimental songs, Dot Dare and Patsy Young (for Betty Boop impressions), as well as Ethel Bingham, Marion Lee, Janet Shaw, and Lelia Sandford.

Hello, happy Friday! I'm sorry for my absence,
I've been very busy preparing paperwork for
Mom. She has to be in a care home for her
own good, and mine, and for my own safety,
since I'm risking my life. I'll try to post an update
and tell you all about it. I have to go see Mom
at the hospital in a little while, although I'm resting
because of my back. I hope to catch up as before.
Enjoy your day, have an excellent and happy day,
blessed day. Warm, big hugs, Maria
