[78-L] Annette Hanshaw 100

[Kristjan Saag]

Yes, but...
"For many years it was believed that Annette had been born in 1910 and 
began her recording career shortly before her 16th birthday.
However, it has recently come to light that she was in 
fact^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Hanshaw#cite_note-4> born 
nine years earlier, making her 24 at the time of her first commercial 
recording in September 1926. Her nephew, Frank W. Hanshaw III, has 
confirmed 1901 as the date on her birth 
certificate<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Hanshaw#cite_note-5>."

youngster!)
