I think Brunswick made some fantastic recordings in the 20's.

[fuzzbear6240]

Paal, Yes they did. They are still much sought after. Some of the best of the early twenties is on 'Brunnie'. Regards, J.

Great!! I love the park setting for most of these videos, shows how the machine was originally designed to be used.

My wife says go all out and feature a young couple enjoying a picnic or perhaps dancing on to the music!

Iv got the same portable Vic!!! found it at yard sale---$15 bucks

[lesterwyoung]

I wonder if that's Isham himself playing the soprano saxophone?

[fuzzbear6240]

Bornfedslaughter, the camera we're using has only a tiny built in mic. It took us a while to find the dashed thing Ha Ha! We were thinking of trying a small piece of foam as a baffle this coming summer. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the clip. Regards, J.

[bornfedslaughter]

maybe put a sock over your microphone?
