Home-made Orthophonic plays Painting The Clouds With Sunshine

Painting The Clouds With Sunshine by Jean Goldkette & His Orchestra, Vocal by Frank Munn. Victor 22027A, 06/14/1929 Played on my home-made Orthophonic Victrola. Mechanics are all parts bought on eBay, cabinet/horn home made by me based on measurements from an ebay auction and various diagrams/photos from the web. Let me know what you think, sounds pretty good to me but I've never heard an Orthophonic in person.

This side may have been credited to Jean Goldkette, but it was actually recorded by the nucleus of Nat Shilkret's "Victor Orchestra", under the direction of Victor Young (using a Frank Black arrangement); Frank Munn was Shilkret's regular vocalist at the time. Goldkette was effectively out of the band business by 1929; to fulfill his Victor contract, he had other orchestras record under his name, including Don Redman's "McKinney's Cotton Pickers" {"Birmingham Bertha"}, which he managed.
