Included in a batch of music rolls I found recently is an interesting
piece played by Max Kortlander.  This is a QRS hand played "Autograph"
series roll, number 80676, the song title is "Cuddles".  It really
sounds a lot different from the normal player roll because it sounds
like a live performance, almost with expression.

The mystery is this roll is not listed in the Billings Rollography.
There is no such number.  The title, "Cuddles", is to be found with
another number, but I have a copy of that listed roll and it is not
the same tune.  Now there are two rolls, both called "Cuddles", with
two different numbers and just one listed by Billings.

A friend has recorded this and placed it on YouTube.  His channel
is "anthromorphe" and currently he has over 80 videos made from my
collection, so you may hear the roll played:

I would be interested in any information people may offer.
