[3] Goldman recruited "the best wind players available in New York" including Waino Kauppi who went on to play as a cornet soloist.

Kauppi's solos gained exposure after being broadcast by WEAF at the Goldman Band's free nightly showings at New York University.

[4] In July 1926, Kauppi suffered a serious nervous breakdown and thus, his contract with the Goldman Band was terminated.

Waino Kauppu had also created his own group of musicians in which he continued to play as solo cornetist.

[8] After Kauppi lost his front teeth in an automobile accident, he had dentures made, but he could no longer play his instrument like he used to.
