[Dixielandjazz] Annette Hanshaw - how I hated those records

[Hans en Corrie]

Annette Hanshaw's career had a brief recording span for almost eight years.
When she started her career in 1926 she was 25 years old, but she was billed
as a young 16 year flapper girl. Even decades later, when she spoke to Brian
Rust late 1950s she preserved up to be born in 1910. Maybe she wanted to
keep up the myth of her eternal youth or she was ruled by a selective
memory. Well never mind - her great voice and charisma is still fascinating
