I agree with two of Bernard Prindiville's identifications of
Domenic DiBernardo's unknown music box tunes (150121 MMDigest),
First Box/Tune 4.mp3 = "The Blue Bells of Scotland" and
Sublime Harmony/Sub 5.mp3 = "Listen to the Mockingbird",
but I think he meant to say that "The Last Rose of Summer" is
First Box/Tune 3.mp3, not Drum and Bell/Bell 3.mp3.
I also have a few more identifications:
First Box/Tune 2.mp3 is the traditional Scottish tune "Bonnie Dundee";
Sublime Harmony/Sub 3.mp3 is Johann Strauss II's "The Kiss Waltz";
Sublime Harmony/Sub 8.mp3 is the old hymn "The Sweet Bye and Bye"
(1868; words by S. Fillmore Bennett; tune by Joseph P. Webster);
Sublime Harmony/Sub 9.mp3 is one of the "Laura Waltzes" from Karl
Millocker's 1882 operetta "Der Bettelstudent" ("The Beggar Student").
For a paragraph of information about each of the latter three tunes,
please see my write-ups for 20-note roller organ cobs #209, 1 and 179,
respectively, in "Dutton's Handbook" on the website
