Unknown Tunes on Wurlitzer 125 Roll 3118
By Mikey Mills

Hi All,  I'm about to get a Wurlitzer 125 roll recut, No. 3118, and
there's two tunes on it that aren't known.  I suppose it's better than
a few months ago when only two tunes total were known, but I'd like
to have all eight existing tunes with titles if possible.  Here's the
tune list as it is right now:

Wurlitzer 125 Roll 3118

 3. -- unidentified --
 4. Tonight You Belong To Me
 5. I Found a Million Dollar Baby -- The Original 1926 Version
 6. Take In the Sun, Hang Out the Moon
 7. -- unidentified --
 8. Cheri, I Love You
 9. Just a Bird's Eye View (Of My Old Kentucky Home)
10. Valencia

There are two tunes that are missing from the original copy of 3118
which have been substituted with two selections from the same vintage
Wurlitzer 150 roll 13140.  There's a possibility that these were the
tunes on it originally since they don't appear on any other 125 roll.

1. Someone Is Losin' Susan
2. She Knows Her Onions

If you know any of the titles, please let me know.

Thanks,

Mikey Mills

 [ Tune 3 is "(I've Grown So Lonesome) Thinking of You", by Walter
 [ Donaldson & Paul Ash, late 1926.  That song is often confused with
 [ "Thinking of You", by Harry Ruby & Bert Kalmar, 1928.  Hear the
 [ Donaldson song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z9DfgCpx-0  and
 [ (as "Thinking of You"!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnOJJQ84G_Y
