[78-L] Leo Strockoff question

[David Lennick]

Thanks to both Andrew and Christopher. My reason for asking was that I've 
listed a lacquer disc of Strokoff/Strockoff (I've seen both) playing some Bach, 
and it didn't sound like a dub from an ancient 78 but I couldn't tell what its 
source might have been. The date on the disc is June 19, 1946, which could mean 
a dubbing date or an actual recording date, since he lived to 1957. Here's the 
link.

I also have a Mischa Mischakoff aircheck listed (pardon the plug).
