Unknown Tunes on QRS Demonstration Roll
By Dennis Back

I have an oversize QRS roll in an incorrect box and with the title cut
off; there are no words printed on the roll.  There are five songs, and
each plays a little over a minute.  The songs are truncated versions of
regularly produced QRS word rolls of circa early 1918.

The second song I've identified as QRS 430, "I Hate to Lose You", played
by Pete Wendling, released 2/18.

I've recorded and uploaded the roll and would appreciate help in
identifying the other four songs, and who played them.  Also, I'd like
to know the QRS title and roll number of this demo roll.

Thanks in advance,
Dennis Back
