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

[ Ref. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvjknkyJMKI 

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.
