When I first heard the rather childlike voice of Annette Hanshaw and I saw
her pictures I fell in love ........... and I still am. My first
acquaintance must have been one of those Fountain / Retrieval albums
released in the 1980s thanks to the research of discographer and record
collector Brian Rust. He located her late 1950s in New York as Mrs. Annette
Rose, a widow working as a stenographer in a firm of lawyers. She was
exactly as charming, shy and somewhat bewildered as might have been
expected, Brian remembered. In 2010 she would have celebrated her 100th
birthday, if she had still been with us; she passed away March 1983. -
enough reasons to spotlight her: http://keepswinging.blogspot.com
