Hanshaw, Annette (1901-1985)
25, Annette Hanshaw was an American Jazz Age singer. She was one of the most popular radio stars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, with many of her most notable performances taking place on NBC's Maxwell House Show Boat.
"I disliked all of [my records] intensely. I was most unhappy when they were released.

Heinie and His Grenadiers
103; Heinie and His Grenadiers is a real (and colorful) name from the early days of radio dance bands and Midwestern entertainment, right in the same era as Billie the Brownie and Schuster’s Milwaukee. They were German-themed novelty and dance band active in the 1920s through the 1940s, centered around Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and sometimes broadcast from Chicago). “Heinie” (short for Heinrich or Heine) was a common nickname for German-American musicians at the time, used in the comic or vaudeville sense, not as a slur. The band was known for oom-pah style brass, polka and waltz numbers, and humorous dialect songs typical of German-American vaudeville acts. Their full billing was often “Heinie and His Grenadiers: the Jolly Dutchmen of the Air.”
