[78-L] NYC Gennetts (was: Pre 1926 Red Nichols Records)

[Malcolm Rockwell]

What is so strange about Gennett having a New York recording studio? In 
fact, recordings made in NYC predate those made in Richmond /for public 
consumption/ by about 6 years! It has been rumored that Richmond had 
/experimental/ recording facilities beginning around 1916, but to my 
knowledge no proof of that has ever surfaced.
