So crisp and clear!
Kahn had an interesting life, much of privilege (came from a wealthy family) He had his own band at age 18 in 1925 and started cutting records that year. What he didn't have was longevity as he died at age 54 in 1962.
I enjoyed his work as I have this and some other 78s of his songs. The flip side of this one (George Olsen's 'Do Do Do") is also a good number.
Does this rare Orthophonic Victrola have a brass or potmetal reproducer?
The original soundbox was an early pot-metal version, but as it was swollen and crumbling and the needle-bar pivots were out of alignment, I'm currently using a later pot metal soundbox (from a Victrola VV 2-55 portable).
