Info Wanted on Tune Titles
By Ken Slow

Hello everyone,

One of the most exiting things after getting my 84 key Mortier
Orchestrion was to play all the music books and to make a list of
the repertoire.

Most of the music is unmarked with the tune title; although many of
these tunes were instantly recognizable once played.  I am now left
with a small batch of music that do have their titles written at the
start of the tunes but no-one I know has ever heard them before and I
was hoping that someone out there might have came across these tunes
and can tell me which decade they come from, the country of origin and
whether the tune came from a stageshow or film etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

    1)    The Wedding of the Lucky Black Cat
    2)    Little Ship
    3)    Buckets and Spades
    4)    Rip Van Twinkle
    5)    Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
    6)    Sluefoot
    7)    Waltz Of The Wooden Horses
    8)    Rock Robbin Boats
    9)    Dance Of The Three Old Maids
    10)   Seven Days
    11)   Maria Maria Maria

The writing was faded and difficult to read so I may have mis-read the
odd letter in the title here and there!

                                regards,  Ken Slow
