Max Geldray was a jazz harmonica player from Holland (and old friend of 
mine) who came to some fame in England in the 1940s and 1950s on radio, TV, 
and variety.  (He came to the U.S. in the 1960s and lived in Palm Springs; 
he died last October).  He never recorded commercially, so I was pleased 
when a Dutch harmonica enthusiast sent me a mystery tape of Max with guitar 
accompaniment.  Problem is that I can't identify all the tunes on the 
tape.  I've put the four I don't know at http://goon.org/geldray.  I'd be 
grateful if you gents would pay a visit and see if you can identify any of 
them.

For what it's worth, the other tunes on the tape, the ones I (and DJML 
member John Farrell) could identify, are
Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me
In a Mellow Tone
The Entertainer
Solace
Someone to Watch Over Me
Our Love Is Here to Stay
