Sat around today with some old newspaper collections and finished writing this blog post about a particular composition by Jacob Gegna, whose Wikipedia bio I wrote last week. Mentions of this composition of his in promo materials from the 1910s/20s had intrigued me, but was too niche for Wikipedia.
yes I used the spelling Kiev, I figure Ukrainians will be OK with me putting that ugly history on the Russian Empire😅
