    Dave Rubinoff was my great grandfather's first cousin, and my grandfather toured with him playing radio shows in the 30s and 40s, My grandfather (Albert Saparoff) became a concertmaster violinist and played with the Harry James Band, was in the MGM Orchestra for 14 years, played 14 academy awards shows during the golden era.. and was concertmaster of the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra. His Joseph Gagliano (1742 - 1820) Violin is now gifted to a new exceptional Chapman Student yearly. I recently found the student who has it, and I was able to hear my grandfather's violin again. I have some newspaper clippings of Dave and my grandfather, the spun it as if the maestro had a new rival... but they were family, 1st cousins once removed. Amazing talented men who helped to pull the country through the depression with their music. :) Thank you for posting this video, Ted Lewis museum :)

      Cool story! Thank you for sharing! I met Mrs. Rubinoff many years ago and catalogued the Maestro's orchestra music and even saw his Magic Violin.

    It wasn’t the first time in 80 years. I have an autographed program where he presented on February 13, 1956.

      Rubinoff performed until shortly before his passing in 1986, however all of those performances were with piano accompaniment. This concert marked the first time his original orchestrations were heard in 80 years.

      I have a couple of photos from 1948 of my grandfather at his restaurant in Selma, AL with your grandfather Dave Rubinoff and his 3 year-old son Rubin, who are posing with their fingers in their ears while my grandfather plays his violin.

      Dave is my 1st cousin thrice removed. My grandfather was a concertmaster who also toured with Dave in the 30s and 40s playing radio shows in the south. I have postcards people sent in making requests of them for their next show. I found a roll of film, uncut and still in it's original canister. I cut it, scanned it and it's a road trip with Dave, my grandfather, to visit with people all over the southwest. They have the violin, there are even photos of Dave's car with his specialized license plate. I've never shared them online but I guess I should.. maybe on Ancestry, I'll attach it to his profile. :) Hi Cousins!
