The tiing in the background looks like, possibly. an upright piano with a bedspread over it. Kaufman looked too young in that picture to have been taken at his death. A google search will give you a very good picture of him at the height of his career.
. From the earliest days I got turned loose on the family Victrola, I enjoyed Kaufman's recordings immensely. My mother and aunt, who owned the Victrola at the time, could never figure out why I liked all that OLD music. I'd play that Victrola for hours without bothering anyone, because it was stored in a walk-in closet. My favorite recording of his was: "You'd Be Surprised", on Columbia. He had a nice, cheerful wrinkle nin his voice, and that was what put him over so well on his performances. I'm going to do a writeup for Tim for ITG, about that Victor's influence on me. I'm still putting another article together for him, and burning the candle at both ends, doing it. > [Original Message] > From: john robles <[email protected]> > To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]> > Date: 12/30/2010 11:00:55 PM > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Irving Kaufman > > And why wold his other arm be bent with the fist against his head?
