Dear Bob,
Thats good enough for me and MKOM.

Coincidentally, while on the subject of Ms Hanshaw who allegedly made 
he first record at age 16 (born 1910), the other day I received an mp3 
(which won't download properly) of her test recording for Pathe made on 
28 July 1926. A medley of popular songs of the time.
Do you, or any of our knowledgeable DJMLers know if this has been 
issued anywhere on CD/LP?
So far as the '16-year-old' claim is concerned it now seems that she 
was born in 1910 (which explains the maturity of her 'untrained' voice) 
as confirmed by her birth certificate recently located by her nephew, 
Frank W. Hanshaw III,.
"That's All".
Kind regards,
Bill
