  2. Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for writing. These two kolos were recorded in Detroit. I'm not sure of the year because my copy of Richard K. Spottswood's "Discography of Ethnic Recordings Produces in the United States Vol.2" is worn in that place. If I had to guess I'd say it's one of Stevan Zerbes's later orchestras, probably recorded in the early 1920's - but don't hold me to that because I'm really only guessing.
