Annette Hanshaw is one of my favorite singers from the 1920s and 1930s.  For your listening pleasure:

"Ain't Cha" (Annette Hanshaw, 1929)

  2. Love that vintage ad...your cake looks fabulous on your china! I can't believe how much snow you've had - even more than us. I think cabin fever sets in and then you just have to get out!

  7. I just saw this... the cake looks so good! I was actually taken aback a little bit by the ad at the top...I say "month of Sundays" all the time! It's up there with "I haven't seen you in a dog's age" for "indefinitely long period of time" replacer. So, in use: "It's been a month of Sundays since we saw the likes of you!" It might help to have a mild Southern accent to pull this off. :) I think I got that phrase from my grandma...and now I have a more tangible provenance!
