48-key B.A.B. roll #31 Waltz is "Missouri Moon"
By George Karpel

Attachment thumbnail Craig Wiley was inquiring about the tune labeled "Missouri Waltz" that he has on a 48-key B.A.B. roll #31. I have a recording of this B.A.B. roll and the title is not "Missouri Waltz", but "Missouri Moon." This title also appears on B.A.B. 66-key roll #308. It is distinctly different from the more familiar title "Missouri Waltz". I hope this has been helpful.
