Dan,
Thanks for the YouTube link. Next week, I'll be in Florida visiting
Bohumir Kryl's granddaughter along with John Wetzel. I intend to write an
update article on the Bohumir Kryl Project for the April/May edition of In
The Groove. If anyone has information, documents, flyers, newspaper
articles, anything at all Kryl related, I would love to receive copies.
Thanks,
Tim

There's a YouTube file of CLEOPATRA POLKA, by Kryl on a 1918 Edison
recording - it gives a faint idea of the power this recording has when
played on a restored Edison Disc phonograph. My family and neighbors have
thought a cornet was being played LIVE in my house ! Kryl was a great
artist.
