Unknown Roll JB001 is "My Luau Girl"
By Paul Baker

Hello, I thought Robbie may like know that unknown roll JB001 [160406
MMDigest] is the song "My Luau Girl" from 1915, so his guess of around
1912 was not far out.  I have it included in a Hawaiian medley roll
issued by Aeolian (301958, "Hawaiian One-Step Medley", arranged by
Herman Avery Wade).

Unknown roll JB003 was correctly identified by others as "Rose of
Honolulu".  (Not wishing to be pedantic, but note the title is not
"My Rose of Honolulu".)  The audio file sounds identical to one roll
version I have on US 7849 "Regular", "Rose of Honolulu One Step".
I am sure Robbie's unknown is the same roll.

Regards from England,

Paul Baker

 [ Thanks, Paul, I'll pass the identity to the roll owner.
