My musical friend Glenn Amer and I have tried to determine the list
of tunes recorded for Mrs. Forbes on unknown Ampico roll "Special
1932 Recording."  Our listing is not complete but we have arrived at
the following:

Melody in F (played in G); Unknown piece in G; La Paloma;
Italian folk song (unknown), A Night to Remember (possibly
based on Waldteufel's Estudiantina Waltzes); Schubert Serenade;
Auf dem Wasser zu singen (Schubert); and Blue Danube Waltz.

An eclectic mix!
