[Dixielandjazz] Annette Hanshaw

Hello all

Umbrage is taken  :-)

To paraphrase the Good Doctor (with the same surname as Craig), the man
who is tired of taxonomy is tired of life.

But, seriously -

I suspect that the consideration of Hanshaw as a jazz artist has a lot
to do with Brian Rust's adulation of her. How many of us bought those
Retrieval LPs on spec, relying on Rust's assessment?

That said, if Hanshaw is MKOM for Bill Haesler then she is OK, if not OKOM.

That's all, my my, etc
