[TPIN] Anyone know about M. Borodkin?

[Jim & Annette Farrington]

Since Christmas I've been enjoying a new release, /Victor Herbert: The 
Collection/ that was published by Syracuse University 
(http://bookweb.syr.edu/ePOS?form=item.html&item=W46044&store=). The 
transfers (all Edison recordings) are marvelous, and the music is most 
enjoyable (and instructive from the perspective of performance 
practice). I'm writing to TPIN to see if anyone knows anything about "M. 
Borodkin," who was first trumpet in Herbert's orchestra for at least a 
couple of years. He is featured on the last work, "Rose of the World" 
(1909) and might also be the high note player on March Slav (1910). Who 
he is, or what became of him, is a mystery to us. Perhaps he was related 
to Jacob Borodkin, principal of Chicago at about this time. Any 
information that can be passed on would be most appreciated.

Jim
