Re: Name That Tune
By Robin Pratt

The music roll you are speaking of is called "THE KING'S HORSES" and it is a QRS roll. A great piece.
The King's horses,
The king's men
walked down the street and they walked up again.
The King's horses...and the King's men!
They're in scarlet
They're in gold,
All dollied up they're a sight to behold.
The King's Horses...and the King's men!
etc....etc.

Don't know the QRS roll number, BUT the AMPICO/DUO-ART/WELTE-MIGNON rolls (all the SAME arrangement) are superior in interpretation, but the QRS is no slouch. Hope this helps!
