Unknown Music Box Maker and Tunes
By Evan Mower

Aloha from the Big Island!  Regarding Jack Conway's request [in 170403
MMDigest], tune #3 seems to be what I know as "A Scottish Soldier",
a song written by Andy Stewart using the tune of "The Green Hills of
Tyrol".  The song was transcribed by John MacLeod during the Crimean
War from "La tua danza si leggera" [Your own dancing is so light],
a chorus part in the third act of Gioachino Rossini's 1829 opera
Guglielmo Tell (William Tell).

Thanks to Wikipedia for putting words in my mouth.

Aloha pumehana,
Evan Mower
Hawaii
