In 120328 MMDigest, James Huling asked for help to identify the
tunes on three 15-1/2" Stella musical box discs in his collection.
I listened to them again today and I think they're not very old,
actually; I'd guess they date from 1890 to 1910.
Unknown 1 might be a hymn, unknown 3 is a fast waltz that sounds
similar to "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," and unknown 5 sounds
to me like a Scottish strathspey.
