I am pleased to report that, thanks to several members of this list,
I now have complete and correct song lists for both rolls.  Play-Rite
"Cook Roll No G-1A" is as I had thought, and the missing song on Siou's
Music Co 4X-394 "New and Review" should be 7. "Double Trouble" (or
"Ça me tracasse").  That roll is also a copy of Clark A-1470.

Both are wonderful rolls, and now whoever gets them after me will also
get correct song lists!  I will also now be able to find songs I am
looking for on my growing collection of rolls.

Thanks again,
Monica Jones
